As I was thinking of some of my favorite fiction books, the books of several local author friends came to mind. I could not – in good conscious – pick up any certain one from them as that would be like a mom choosing her favorite kid. So I decided to ask them to introduce to you one of their books that they felt is either their favorite, their most fun to write or was the one that best represents them.

The Red Siren by MaryLu Tyndall
The Red Siren, because it’s an exciting, adventurous, romantic swashbuckling adventure that was a lot of fun to write. What’s not to love about a lady pirate who falls in love with the British Naval captain assigned to capture her?

osure by Brandilyn CollinsHave readers try Exposure, my latest adult novel and a bestseller. Like all my Seatbelt Suspense® novels, it features a fast pace from page one, multi-layered characterization, multiple twists, and a faith element that arises naturally from the cataclysmic events.

I would suggest my second Sushi book, Only Uni, because I think Trish’s character is one most people relate to as opposed to Lex, the heroine of book one in the series. Also, Trish’s struggles seem to have resonated with more people than Lex’s, if my fan mail is anything to go by. Trish’s struggles are very personal for me because they’re similar to what I had to deal with when I was still single.
Here are another two books that I enjoyed reading this year.
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford
What were your favorite fiction books of 2009?
Aw, thanks so much for mentioning me, Kathi! I hope people enjoy my books!

Thanks for the great list – I will start downloading them down to my Kindle immediately.
I would suggest any Nicholas Sparks books. His latest “The Last Song” was really good…but then again I say that about ALL of his books.
I loved all the Twilight books – and her more non-teen focused book “The Host”. As for other authors, I really enjoyed “The 19th Wife”
The most recent novel in the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Fantastic, I think this is book 6 or 7 and they are usually 750 plus pages. I have not met a person who has read them that hasn’t liked them.
All of the series has very good character development and are hard to put down. There are all the things your aren’t supposed to discuss at a business dinner: Sex, religion, politics (war)!
Essentially it is a fiction novel based on historical fact. Main Character Clair falls through a time portal 200 years to the past in Scotland where she meets men in kilts. Did I mention the strong men in kilts?
Here’s the kicker, this series is enjoyed by men as well and not directed to the female only audience. My husband has been reading them too. He’s learned a few things! 😉
“The Book Thief” was a total wonder to read…such a unique writing style, I can’t stop raving about it.
I also loved “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society”.
I finally read the Twilight series. I put it off for a long time, because I thought I’d be turned off by the vampire thing, but quickly got sucked in and read every page of four books. And saw the movies. And now won’t read another book for months.
I loved the book, Same Kind of Different as Me. Although it was a true story and not a fiction, hands down, it’s one that I plan to read again.
I am also reading The Help and so far, I’m enjoying that as well.
I loved reading Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, a beautifully written book about friendship. It is all about the love shared between women, and how our friendships change througout our life. Chalk full of sadness, joy, remorse, and laughter…just like life!!!
My favorite book was “The Book Thief”
