I'd like to see some book recommendations here. You can recommend something you really like, or others can ask for recommendations.

What I like to read the most are mysteries/thrillers or fun chick lit type stuff. So, does anyone have a recommendation along those lines?

If you're going to recommend something, could you give at least a little info about the book?

I assuming you've already read Jame Patterson's books? It's been a long time since I've read mysteries or thrillers so I don't know what's new. I am enjoying a series by Jim Butcher though that would qualify. It's got kind of a magic/sci fi twist.

American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachet
Patient Zero by Jonathon Mayberry


they may not be "chick books" or mystery novels (well, American Gods could sorta kinda be..) but they are all amazing books, and a great read!

Young lady thou ask too much. I am fascinated by titles and then by author. the mystery that lays between the pages is the fascinating part, it's the read. If I were to follow your thread and happen upon a story teller it would destroy that part for me. if they were to tell too much. And as I read what is written, I would lose that read, due to your thread. If you want info about the books you ask to be posted, be inquisitive and check them out for yourself, the satisfaction will come with unfurling the mystery.
Any mystery by Walter Mosley, Baudelaire (Flowers of Evil), James Swain is a terrific read, you will not put his books down
