Kim's starting to fall victim to the creeping romance plots, I've noticed. The first two books were great, the third meh, forth pretty good, but by the fifth it's more vampire/witch/demon sexual tension than I really wanted.

Right now, I love Ann Patchett. Her writing can be a bit slow in the beginning, but it's really beautiful.

I really enjoy Jane Austen ( especially "Emma" and "Pride and Prejudice" by her, as well as "Sense and Sensibility" wink I also really like Tamora Peirce, Brian Jacques, and (sometimes) Mark Twain. Oh, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes) heart Also, pretty much ANY writer of a "classic" and Marcus (?) Zuzak (The Book Thief - simply marvelous)
