Charlaine Harris. She is the author who wrote the books based on the True Blood series on HBO.

These are easy, but fun reads.
I've read them all. Well, I read a few of the Janet Evanovich books and didn't like them. Loved the Sookie Stackhouse books and can't wait for the newest to come out in May. She has a couple other series (serieses? ) but I've heard they aren't as good.

Take a break from the heavy books and read Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series! They're hilarious and a super quick read! You'll like 'em, and they'll make you .
Mary Higgins Clark is one that I used to like, but I just can't get into them anymore.

Prodigal Summer sounds familiar, I think my mom read it. I'll have to pick it up.

I read a few books by an author a few years ago whose name I can't remember, and I can't even really remember what the books were about, but I liked them. I think one was about some women who met at the DMV cause they all had the same birthday, then they joined back up a few years later. And then one about all these women on the same block (or cul de sac, I have a terrible memory) and one of their husbands was cheating. Something... Maybe it's not even the same author. This is why I have such a hard time.

I was feeling all sappy on Saturday and I bought Impossible...by Danielle Steele! I haven't read her for a decade. A little hard romance might do me good.

Not sure if you like any type of Sci-fi at all, I got back into reading Anne McCaffrey, and she has several different series. I've always enjoyed all her books. I was into Mary Higgins Clark for a while and just can't get back into them. For romance I have always liked Kathleen Woodwiss. I have not picked up anything new for quite some time..

I think I may have, when I was younger. Are they scary-ish? My best friend and I used to read the stupidest books in middle school - always scary. I remember reading one about some girls living in this house (boarding school?) and they were being possessed in the middle of the night by dead artistic geniuses (I remember one was a pianist).
