Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I love Jodi PiccoultWww@QuestionHome@Com

Tamora Pierce, definitely!. She has twenty four AMAZING fantasy books!.

In one world, there are two quartets, "The Circle of Magic" and "The Circle Opens", and one other book, "The Will of the Empress", are about incredibly powerful young mages!. VERY good!. There will be another book about them fairly soon!.

Then in another world, Tortall, there are One of her other quartets, "The Immortals" is about a girl, Daine, who has wild magic!. She can talk to animals, and she can eventually shape-shift into whatever animal she wants!.

The other two quartets, "The Song of the Lioness" and "The Protector of the Small", are about girls who struggle against great odds to become knights!.

Two more of her books, "Trickster's Choice" and "Trickster's Queen" are about Alanna's the main character in "The Song of the Lioness") daughter!.

And then there is the book called "Terrier", which happens hundreds of years before Alanna, Kel, and Daine!.

Sorry if all of this was a bit confusing, but I had to sort of group it like that!. But the quartets in the second world, Tortall, are a bit out of order!. It should be:
"The Song of the Lioness"
"The Immortals"
"The Protector of the Small"
The characters from these three quartets meet in the later ones!. It's all very interesting how they connect!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Christopher Paolini: Eragon, Eldest, and soon to come Glaedr!. (the Eragon series) he writes fantasy medieval type books

John Flangan: Ranger's apprentice book 1 the ruins of gorlan, book 2 burning the bridge, book 3 icelands, book 4 battle for skandia!. He also writes these kind of books but with my reality!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Alexander McCall Smith's "The No!. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" is an unusual mystery because there is no murder!.
Mma Ramotswe is the Botswanan detective, and she's the most delightful person to appear in a long time!.

This book won a Special Booker (best fiction in the British Commonwealth) Prize!. That happens very rarely!.

It's the first in series of books which are joyous and life-affirming!. I think Mr!. McCall Smith has made the world slightly, but significantly better by his writing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Jodi Picoult: http://www!.jodipicoult!.com/

She always writes about difficult topics like death row, high school shootings, teen date rape!. She turns all these topics into the deepest most facinating stories that can make you smile, laugh out loud, cry!.!.!. She researches everything she does and sometimes using the same characters in some of the minor roles as her books are mostly set in the same state it builds a feeling that you know them!.

Her books are heart wrenching and touching and they inspire you to want to do things with your life!.

I also love Torey Hayden who writes about her time as a teacher (mostly special ed), another really inspiring woman!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ricky Riordan
His books are about Greek Mythology
It might sound BORING but its not trust me!. its actually pretty cool coz they're fiction so its not all "oh this means this and in this year this happened and blah blah blah about history" haha the 1st ones The Lightning Thief, the 2nd one is The Sea Of Monsters, 3rd one is The Titans Curse and theres a 4th one but idk what its called!.!.!.so yeah theyre cool no kidding check em out =DWww@QuestionHome@Com

I love anything by VC Andrews, her books are usually in a series of 5 and definitely a good book ffor any girl!.

Sophie Kinsella is my other fav, she wrote the Shopaholic series of books and those r wonderful if u need a good laugh!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ray Bradbury!. He has a great way with words and knows the human psyche well!. He mostly writes science fiction but also just some coming of age type books and whatnot!. Even if you don't like science fiction you can read him!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I do!. I normally wouldn't, cause every writer has got his own style!. But I do!. It's Stephen King!.

Through his works I could actually see what I wanted to do in my life!. Writing, that is!.

Nice question!.
