This is one of my bookcases. I don't think I've ever had a bookcase that wasn't crammed full to overflowing. I have loved to read since I was 4 or 5, and have always had a large stack of books in my "to be read" stack (that would be the entire top shelf of this particular bookcase). Most of what I read is fiction - every once in a while I decide I need to read a "serious" book, but I find it tedious and dull. I do read a variety of fiction - contemporary Christian, crime drama, romance, and others. I have many authors whose work I enjoy and also read books by authors of whom I've not heard but whose book sounds interesting. I particularly like series of books - I love the intertwining of characters from one book to another and the way the main characters develop based on what happens in each book. Some of the authors I enjoy are Stuart Woods, Nora Roberts, Catherine Coulter, Sue Grafton, Janet Evanovich, John Grisham (I find that I like his earlier works best), James Patterson (particularly the Women's Murder Club series), Nicholas Sparks, Danielle Steel, Dee Henderson (her O'Malley series is one I've read several times and her True series is riveting - she writes characters I would like to have as friends), Jan Karon, Madeleine L'Engle (her young adult books rather than her adult books; my favorite is "A Wrinkle In Time" and it's spin-offs, especially "Many Waters"), Terri Blackstock, and Karen Kingsbury (she has a series of series -I believe there are 5 of them, each one spinning off the one before with the same characters throughout).
