Question
hello im really interested in book but lately i've been reading some books that i dont quite like so well i was expecting if you could give me some recomendations of books that i might like, i have reed and enjoyed books like inkheard and inkspell, harry potter, the time travelers wife, twilight, all dan brown books and well lots and lots of murder books but i ant to try to read other than murder books, but imnot much into romance, more into fantasy and time traveling and fiction though a little romance its not so bad either thank you :)

Answer
I love science fiction and fantasy. Although I do love a good murder mystery too. Agatha Christie, Nero Wolfe, and the Cat Who...

My favorite fantasy books are the Alvin series by Orson Scott Card, Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradly, Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart, Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula LeGuin, Hero and the Crown  & Blue Sword by Robin McKinley. Mercedes Lackey and Tamara Pierce are great fantasy writers too. Tanya Huff writes about a vampire who assists a former policewoman solve murder mysteries. I also like the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher.

My favorite science fiction books are: Little Brother by Cory Doctorow. Anne McCaffrey's Pern novels, Lois Bujold Miles novels, Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, Rash by Pete Hauptman, Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, I love the Darkover novels by Marion Zimmer Bradley too.

Catharine Asaro is a good writer that does science fiction romance. She is a nuclear phyicist, author AND a ballet dancer/teacher.
