Answer by ~Camryn~
Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich (hilarious series..a must read)
Motor Mouth and Metro Girl by Janet Evanovich (LOL funny)

Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors. She writes suspense and romance (all in one!).
A few of my favorites are : The Key Trilogy, The Donovan Legacy, Irish Hearts, Montana Sky, Carolina Moon, The Dream Trilogy, Northern Lights, Tribute, and many many others.
(She also writes a series under the name of JD Robb)

Vicki Lewis Thompson’s Nerd Series
7 books, standalone, no relation to one another
Juicy romance novels with some suspense. Highly recommend 🙂

The Time Traveler’s Wife

My Sister’s Keeper

Beach Girls by Luanne Rice
Dance with me by Luanne Rice

Falling for you by Kim Louise

P.S. I love you by Cecilia Ahern (sp?)

Sue Grafton’s ABC series- mystery

If you want more adult vampire novels try authors like Rosemary Laurey, Lindsay Sands, and Suzanne Sizemore 🙂

Hope this helps

Answer by Simba
If you like Nicholas Sparks, try Richard Paul Evans. They write in a very similar way. I have read all of Sparks’ books and about 6-8 of Evans’. My favorites were “The Locket” and “The Sunflower”. I just finished “Finding Noel”, which was also very good.

I also liked Jody Picoult’s “My Sister’s Keeper”. I haven’t read any of her other yet, but I’m going to.

Maybe also try the Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series. It’s about a female boutny hunter who is always getting into trouble and having her live put in danger. She is also always caught between her cop boyfriend, and her HOT bounty hunter co-worker (Ranger). It’s not at all like the other books I suggested, but it was recommended to my by another Nicholas Sparks fan and I find them very funny.

A short story collection by Chekhov would be tough to beat.

Answer by Powered by Infinity.
The Noughts and Crosses series by Malorie Blackman
A Quiet Belief in Angels by RJEllory (such a rewarding book to read)
The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson (most understated book of the year award goes to…)
Where Rainbows End or If You Could See Me Now by Cecilia Ahern
The His Dark Materials Series (Phillip Pullman, obv)
any Discword books by Terry Pratchett (so sad when he was diagnosed with Alzheimers)
Cell by Stephen King
Shade’s Children by Garth Nix (brilliant)
Agatha Christie classics.
The Earthsea Quartet by Ursula Le Guin (brilliant literary classic, the japanese did an animation film version of this which was pretty brilliant- almost as good as Spirited Away- which is one of the best animation films ever)
