I've been on LT for a while now AND a lifelong member. I don't have favourite authors, really, but mostly favourite books. It's really great being on this platform and reading reviews from members on LT, and getting new suggestions for books and genres.

Some of my favourite books are The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn, Late Nights on Air by Elizabeth Hay, Cockroach by Rawi Have, Crow Lake by Mary Lawson, Flowers in the Attic by VC Andrews, In Cold Blood - Truman Capote, Airframe by Michael Crichton, Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky, and many others.
