Suggestions needed..

Kathleen Woodiwiss is good for historical romance as is Diana Gabaldon. Gabaldon's "Outlander" series is my favorite series of books ever! I also just finished reading a book called "The Eight" by Katherine Neville and I think you would love it!

Some of my favorite books are by an author named VC Andrews. She is an excellent writer. She is a very old author but her books are excellent but tragic at the same time. I don't know you're type of books but I love them. She wrote her books in 5 book series, so if you are to read them, make sure you read the first book in the series first or you may get confused. Her ealiest books are my favorite. You may have heard of her first book, "Flower's in the attic." My favorite series are the first and second series. The second series starts out with a book called "Heaven." I really suggest these books, you can find them at your local library. (Start with the "Heaven" series, that's my favorite, especially the second book in the series.)

well i dont like reading books, i jus enjoy watching n listening stories,i havnt any interest of reading any book, iether romantic luve stories or true stories..

Sorry MAM 4 books,its a strict NO NO NO

well i like jodi picoult too, and me & emma, i thought was amazing. there is a book by wally lamb called I know this much is true which is a wild book and of course the one he is more known for, she's come undone is awesome also. jane green, jennifer weiner, yes they are chick lit, and yes they have recurring themes of women with babies, fat women but the stories are excellent and particularly informational on geographical info, like i learned alot about england through babyville and to have and to hold and i learned buckets about philadelphia throughout jennifer weiners books. janet fitch's white oleander is my all time fave book and i reccommend it to anyone on the world. another REALLY great, eye opening book is random family. the author, adrian nicole leblanc spent ten years following a poor family from the bronx and really opens your eyes to the culture of poverty in america and the severe distrust of the government as well as the problems women are getting from the media, from poor role models, and its just so good.

I too love the historical romance stuff and would also highly recommend Jude Deveraux. The first one of hers that I read was The Summerhouse after a co-worker loaned it to me. I couldn't put it down and have since read about 12 more of her books. I have loved each one of them.

Historical romance, anything by Johanna Lindsey but especially her Mallory books, anything by Jude Deveraux but especially her Montgomery/Taggart books Leigh Greenwood if you like historicals that take place in west, then you might want the seven brides series or the Cowboys series. Both full of great characters. Catherine Coulter, but especially the Sherbrooke books Judith McNaught Jo Goodman LaVyrle Spencer Sandra Hill Contemporary like the Janet Evanovich Nora Roberts Debbie Macomber Barbara Delinsky Sandra Brown

I would recommend Nicholas Sparks. They aren't overly historical and are technically fiction but they have a quality matching real life stories. They are inspiring and romantic but not in a "heaving bosoms" kind of way. He is the author of the book that the movie "The Notebook" was based on. He is a very down to earth family man and his books, based mostly in North Carolina from the ones I've read, do contain traces of real life stories from his own family. The towns in his book are based on real towns. (I've never visited any so that is why I'm only saying based on, he might be quite accurate in his depiction). I'm not sure how similar he is to the other authors you mentioned since I've never read their books but I think you would find Nicholas Sparks books very enjoyable. I'd give you a list of titles but other than "The Notebook" and "The Wedding" all of mine are making the rounds among family and friends.

Phillipa Gregory is one of my favorites. The Constant Princess, The Other Bolyn Girl, The Queens Fool....just to name a few.

Some books based on true life stories: Mister god this is anna based in Ireland about a small girl who gets adopted in a family and teaches more to them than what they could teach her. Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance(philosophy) Good book in the form of a story. Easy to understand Sophie's world(philosophy) 14yr old girl has a tutor in philosophy communicating through letter's. Do not jump to the end of the book cause that is the best part! Angela's Ashes - true story in Dublin an unquiet mind - Kay Jamison (psychology) A true account of a survivor of Bipolar Disorder

I think it will be better if u try john grisham or dan brown .They will be interesting and also u would be gaining knowledge on many things as these books will be written after a thorough research unlike those of sydney sheldon

I've recently read a book called "The Shadow of the Wind". I loaned it to a friend, so I can't tell you who wrote it. The author is Spanish, and it takes place in spain. It is a love song to books and reading, in addition to a real-life infused mystery story, and coming of age story. When I type this out it sounds too good to be true...it is that good!
