Favorite Books

As and English major I have had the opportunity to get to read thousands of books that I may not have picked up on my own--I tend to go for mystery and comedy/romance books with an occasionally read of the chick-lit variety--I absolutely love Nora Roberts, Patricia Cornwell, Janet Evanovich and Catherine Coulter.
