Susan Mallery (I’ve read and loved every one of her books!), and John Grisham (although up until this past year’s release, for the last handful of years I’ve been sorely disappointed with the predictability of the storylines)
Jennifer Weiner, Jodi Picoult, Stephen King, Elin Hilderbrand, Gillian Flynn, Sarah Pekkanen, Stacey Ballis, Jen Lancaster, Tarryn Fisher, Colleen Hoover, J.K. Rowling/Robert Galbraith. . . Turns out my list is significantly longer than I realized.
V. E. Schwab & Sarah J. Maas. They could write about belly-button-fluff eating monsters that look like penguins and I’d pick it up without a doubt. They’re my queens. ?
Jodi Picoult, Chris Bohjalian, Stephen King, Khalid Housseini, Sue Monk Kidd. And JoJo Moyes is creeping in there. I haven’t read enough of hers for her to quite be there yet, but getting there.
Penny Vincenzi, Charles Martin, Mary Alice Monroe, Sara Gruen, Cathy Lamb, Kristina McMorris, Kimberly Belle, Beatriz Williams, Renee Rosen, Kristy Woodson Harvey to name a few. ,
Ellen Hopkins without a doubt is the first to cross my mind. Second (but not really lol) are P.C. Cast, Kristin Cast, & Gena Showalter (All Oklahoman authors so they have a special place in my heart!). Next is any book written in the fashion of Go Ask Alice (like Lucy in the Sky, Letting Ana Go, Jay’s Journal, the Book of David, etc). They are edited by Beatrice Sparks.
Jodi Piccoult, Stephen King, @Jo-Ann, Catherine Ryan Hyde, so many more!
John Grisham..Joyce Maynard..David Bell..Wally Lamb..Have all Pat Conroy’s books and Stephen King…I guess I’ll stop now. ? too many!
Yes, Cathy – Pat Conroy! Though sadly, no more new ones. I’m still devastated…
Me too. I think my favorites are Prince of Tides and Beach Music.
Oh….The Prince of Tides was good.
