Mealy LaBauve by Ken Wells very good.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon, EJ Copperman, Preston and Child, Sharyn McCrumb
Without knowing what you like or who you’ve read, I’d suggest a few of my faves: Donna Tartt, Jonathan Franzen, and Ann Patchett
I love horror. Stephen King. Murder mystery. True crime.
I’ve heard good things about Robert Mc Cammon. Have you read Joe Hill? John Saul?
Patrick O’Brian, vaguely reminiscent of Jane Austen but set at sea during the Age of Sail. Delightful, deep, incredibly well written books.
If you like stories in the 1800s about the settlers and wagon trains, Dana Fuller Ross.
Los Alamos by Joseph Kanon …The Skull Mantra by Eliot Pattison…Faceless Killers by Henning Mankell …Gorky Park by Martin Cruz Smith…I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman’s Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara…
Bill bryson
Julia Alvarez, R.L. Walker, Elizabeth Kostova
Tolstoy? I mean, if you haven’t read him before he’s new, right?
@Scott if you like mysteries.
Andrew Gross and Birgitta Hjalmarson.
Laini Taylor for great fantasy
F. Paul Wilson! Start with The Tomb
Viveca Stens
Allen Bradley…The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie…funny, unique, charming series.
I accidentally bought that book today, but will keep it even though I’ve read it. (I just finished the second book in the series and was looking to see what comes next – may have to disable one-click purchases!)
B.A. Paris…her Behind Closed Doors is fantastic!
Callan Wink.
Elizabeth Strout.
Wiley Cash has three books so far, all excellent and all different
Not sure what you’re into… Karen Slaughter and Gillian Flynn if you like crime/thrillers. I love Pat Conroy as well.
David Mitchell

Omg, amazing storyteller.
Alice Munro.
Tayari Jones

If you want something to read that’s a bit different, adventurous, colored with some history and intrigue – this is a fun option. 😉
Lisa Genova
She is a neurobiologist who writes fictional accounts of people with interesting/debilitating neurological conditions. Her first book, Still Alice, dealt with a woman with early onset Alzheimer’s. Other books have dealt with brain trauma (Left Neglected), autism (Love Anthony), Huntingdon’s disease (Inside the O’Briens), and ALS (Every Note Played). She writes so brilliantly that you care about the people as well as learn about the disease/condition. Each is a stand-alone novel.
John Irving
Dan Brown
Mark Twain
Stephen King
George Orwell
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
What genre do you prefer?
B.A Paris. Oh please.
