Nailed Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 My Favourite by fair is Tess Gerritsen. She is seriously talented, and so versatile! I also adore Maeve Binchey (This is like chalk and cheese!) but she was an amazing writer, who wrote proper stories, with morals and foundations!

Nocturnal Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 This means only Chick Lit writers are considered, right? Since it's in that subforum. Well, can't say I read a lot of the genre, but Alexandra Potter's writing kept me interested for a while. It's fluent and entertaining, especially Be Careful What You Wish For.

ritu_mallick Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 If this includes only Chick-lit, I would suggest you read any of Sophie Kinsella's books. They are amazing! My favourite ones are I've Got Your Number and Can you Keep a Secret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayjane5 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Sophie Kinsella - best hands down - I love her books!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booklovers Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Cathy Kelly is a favourite of mine & Susan Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimblebee Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Wouldn't describe the following as chick lit, but more women's fiction: my favourite writer is Lesley Glaister. Others that come close are Julie Myerson, Nicci French, Maggie O'Farrell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexia94 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 My favorite is Nicholas Sparks. I hope you like his books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveScaffardi Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I would say Mike Gayle, but that is probably he writes from a guys point of view so I find it easier to relate to. My wife on the other hand loves Sophie Kinsella and Louise Bagshawe, which always makes the stocking fillers at Christmas easy, although I do struggle to keep up with which ones she has! Being a man, I normally get it wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormyRaincloud Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 My favourite author actually changes dependant on my mood I suppose. I'll give anything a try, and if I like a certain book I'll look out others written by the same author,and sometimes that can be my favourite author for a little while. It just changes all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kezlehan Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I'm really loving Jenny Colgan and Trisha Ashley at the moment. I just finished Christmas at the Cupcake cafe which was brill, and just started The Magic of Christmas by Trisha Ashley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingdawn Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Chick-lit wise would be Penny Vincenzi, Jackie Collins and Maeve Binchy. Might be some others but can't be sure right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kushy Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I like the writings of Sri Yandamuri veerendranath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peahen Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 A random lot: Haruki Murakami, Kate Atkinson, Joanne Harris, Emily Bronte, Thomas Hardy, George Orwell and James Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Mabel Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 She might be out of date but I like Danille Steel. The first book I ever read of hers was The Promise and it hooked me to her. Another favorite of mine is Catherine Cookson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I've really enjoyed reading Salley Vicker's books which include Mr Golightly's Holiday, The Other Side of You, Miss Garnet's Angel and Dancing Backwards. I found her a very intelligent and intuitive writer. She trained as a Jungian psychotherapist which I'm sure has given her a lot of insight into human nature. Another older writer I've always enjoyed is Mary Wesley. Her characters are usually rather bohemian and unconventional, much like she was.

chesilbeach Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 My favourite author has to be Ali Smith. I've loved every single book she's written, and Girl Meets Boy is my favourite book ever. Her short stories are stunning, but the most wonderful aspect I find in her writing, is often the sense of joy. Not all of her books are joyous, but Girl Meets Boy is the most glowing example I've ever read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Many8 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Absolutely I love Guillaume Musso, his books are incredible *-* As soon I'll read his last book pubblicated in Italy. I would read it in english, but I don't find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemis Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I am searching a new writer to read, and for this motive i would like know your favorite writer...thanks Have you tried the work of Egyptian author, Adhaf Soueif? Amongst other titiles, she has collections of short stories in Sandpiper, and I also love her great love story set between London and Egypt in 1900 The Map of Love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willoyd Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I know I'm a man, but most of the fiction I enjoy is written by women. My favourites are (alphabetically) Jane Austen, Sarah Dunant, Margaret Elphinstone and Virginia Woolf. Donna Leon tops my crime fiction list, whilst I also love the one book wonders, Harper Lee and Emily Bronte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggiee Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi, I am new to this Forum. I discovered UK author Carole Matthews last year and I think she is a wonderful author. Has anybody else discovered this author? It's a pity the bookshops here in Melbourne Australia don't stock any of her books, I discovered her books in our local Public Library.

Athena Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I read two books by her, For Better, for Worse (translated in Dutch) and Let's Meet on Platform 8. At the time of reading them I didn't really like them a lot, to be honest. I have one book by her left on the shelf, Summer Daydreams. I guess we all like different things. Maybe upon re-reading them I'll appreciate them more, I'm not sure (I read them before I read a lot of adult chick-lit, I hadn't discovered the fun of the genre).
