I really like Karen Maitland, 'A Company of Liars' is easily one of the best books I've read in the last couple of years. Is Alison Weir similar at all?

Authors I keep going back to are Graham Joyce, Sarah Waters, Angela Carter, J K Rowling, maybe Margaret Atwood and when I was young I read zillions of Enid Blyton.

I'm liking John Harwood and Camilla Way at the moment and have bought a few by F G Cottam ... but I'm a bit undecided about his style.

When I was young I think I read ever Enid Blyton book there was. As a teenager I read Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle and I enjoyed poetry. Now I read anything. I do really enjoy american history and I do have quite a collection of books on the Kennedy family.

I found all of my old Enid Blyton books again the other day. I think I'll be re-reading The Magic Faraway Tree!

I don't actually have a particular author that I always go back to, usually the book winks at me and I will just read it. LOL

J.K. Rowling, Brent Weeks, Trudi Canavan, Neil Gaiman, Charlaine Harris are the ones i've read the most of.

At the moment i've really got into George Mann, William Horwood and Patrick Rothfuss.

Trudi Canavan - I've read her black magician trilogy and have priestess in the white ready to read.

Since I also like Neil Gaiman (and J.K.) I'll look up your others later :)

Ooh if you loved the black magician trilogy then definitely check out Brent Weeks nightangel trilogy and Patrick Rothfuss :)

Have you ever read any Iain M Banks? I've read a few of him as Ian Banks but I have a friend who raves about his sci-fi. I'm not really in to that kind of thing but she has me convinced to give it a go.
