Reader Wednesday: Favorite Books/Authors

I didn't get any prompts or writing suggestions today so I decided to give my readers some suggestions instead.  I wanted to keep with the theme "Reader Wednesday" and this is what I came up with. 

Today I am going to give you a list of some of my current favorite authors and books.  If you decide to try something on the list and you like it too then please let me know.  I love it when I help a person discover a great read!

1. Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
