Susan Mallery, Nora Roberts, Nicholas Sparks, Linda Lael Miller, & Kristan Higgins.

Susan Mallery- Fool's Gold series, Buchanan Series, Lone Star Series (First Series I read of hers), & Bakery Sister Series.

Nora Roberts- Stanislaskis series, Bride Quartet series.

Nicholas Sparks- The Lucky One, Dear John, The Last Song, The Best of Me.

Linda Lael Miller- The Creed Cowboys Series.

Kristan Higgins- All I Ever Wanted, Fools Rush In.

Melissa, I love Kristan Higgins...well I either love or hate her books, but the ones I love I really LOVE! lol

OH, I have been banned by my husband from reading Nicholas Sparks! I cry and cry and cry and cry and then SOB when I read anything by him and then I'm depressed for days. My husband doesn't tell me no very often, but he says no more Nicholas Sparks!!!

I got tired of Nora Roberts, but I read The Inn at Boonsboro and loved it so much I can't wait until the next one comes out. Susan Mallery is one of my faves, as are Linda Lael Miller and Kristin Higgins.

If you haven't read Tracey Garvis Graves "On the Island", it's a must read.

Shell- I have only read 2 of Kristan Higgins, but I want to read more of her books!

Elisamarie- lol. I always cry with Nicholas Sparks. I think there is a hidden rule somewhere with his books! lol. Each book I have read of his I cry. Best of Me I was depressed afterwards, too. That book did me in. Does every one of his books someone dies? I have not read the Inn at Boonsboro, but it is on my list to read. I will read it soon. I hope. I am thinking in between Summer Nights & All Summer Long by Susan Mallery! I will have to check out Tracey Garvis Graves.

I really want to read the series called Lucky Harbor by Jill Shalvis. I just found it. Someone told me about it on Barnes & Noble's book club site. I have books 1-3. It is on my to read list, too. It is on my top 5 to read. I think Jill will make my Top 6 Favorite Authors!

Does anyone know if Linda Lael Miller has any new ones coming out of the Creed Cowboys? I love that series! Yum cowboys! At least I am getting some cowboys from Susan Mallery now!! =)

Don't know about any new Creeds, but she has a new trilogy. The first one is out now. I believe it is called Big Sky Country.

Oh, I don't read Nicholas Sparks cause I know they will all make me cry. The only movie I have seen based on his books I loved. A Walk to Remember

Who are my favorite Authors? Eloisa James, Susan Mallery(of coarse), Lisa Kleypas, Diana Palmer, Christina Dodd, Elizabeth Boyle, Julia Quinn, Sabrina Jefferies, Janet Dailey, Linda Lael Miller, Catherine Anderson........I could go on and on cause there are so many great authors. Genre I read the most is historical romance. I would recommend any of them they are all so great. But I do love the Essex series by Eloisa James, the Brigertons by Julia Quinn....

My favorite authors are of course Susan mallery, catherine anderson, Toni blake, Lisa kleypas, Linda Lael miller, Kat Martin and quite a few more. I love all types of romance especially historical cowboy romances. I have grown to love contemporary too. Im not into paranormal that much. I don't care for werewolves or vampires.

I am reading Kat martins against the sun. Awesome book. I love this series. I wish that when some authors writes a series they would do it so the books come out closer together. I hate to wait a year to read the next. I know its time consuming but when iI get into a book I want to get to the next one. Am I the only one who is like this ?
Thanks Susan for getting them out!

I will save books sometimes when it is a series so I can read them all at once. I know some authors get them out boom boom boom and others you have to wait if it is a long wait I will normally go ahead and read simply cause I can't help myself:-)

Same here.

I also love Shannon Stacey. Her Kowalski Family Series is a favorite of my. She has 3 of them coming out in Sept, Oct, & Nov. I am very excited, but I think I am going to have to re-read the first 3 in her series!

So I am updating my list to this now
Susan Mallery, Nora Roberts, Nicholas Sparks, Linda Lael Miller, Kristan Higgins, & Shannon Stacey!

I'm reading the new Rachel Gibson book and it is totally reminding me why she is one of my favorite authors ever!!! I adore her:-)

Shell- Are you talking about Rescue Me? I want to read that one.

Well, this is a long list. Will name until my fingers can't type anymoe..lol

Yep! I had a friend get me a signed copy and I'm loving it:-)

Very nice! Do you need to read the others in the series or are you ok to just read this one?

Melissa, you can totally read it as a stand alone...I have never read Rachel Gibsons books in order. They will have characters and towns from other books but it never ruins anything or leaves you lost! You should def. give her a chance, her chinhook hockey series is amazing!

I feel you on the the busy summer! I don't even know which way is up anymore! lol Let me know what you think when you do get around to reading it! and I hope you join the challenge!

I am making a reading book list that I am posting on my blogs this way I will remember the books I want to read. I forgot to add Rescue Me to the list. See, I forgot one already! lol.

That's a really good idea! I have been so behind on my reading lately and I know I keep forgetting about new books that have come out! I have them in my To Read Soon list on GoodReads but that's getting out of control! I need to make a top 20 or something :-)

And I just finished Rescue Me and it was so cute! I LOVED it♥

I have a list on my personal blog, too. I did it in the beginning of the year when I started a few Reading Challenges. Most of those Challenges I am still doing, but the one their link does not work. I still have a few I need to hand in still, I still have a few books to review & then hand in. I love reviewing books! I have my a list on Goodreads called to be Read Next. I think I need something else, too. Something when I add them I know where to put them. My is getting out of control, too! It is a mess!! I like the top 20 idea. I have Rescue Me on my list. I am going to add 3 for my Fall list at the end so I can remember. The new Fool's Gold one I need to pre-order!

Elisamarie- This is on my list to read. I was thinking of doing it sooner than later. Thanks for telling us it is a must read. I am thinking of adding a new list to Goodreads.

Shell- I know what the new list on here should be called. Recommended List? What do you think?
