Robert E. Howard, and subsequent authors who took up the mantle of the Conan books.

I'd have to say, Sidney Sheldon. He's a good writer but the themes of his books are definitely not overly complex. I love them nonetheless.

I suppose mine would be the BDB series by JR Ward! I also enjoy Christopher Pike's older works, but alas they don't come by often.
I too have an English degree for my undergraduate studies...but there is nothing better than getting the latest Black Dagger Brotherhood book in from the library. Currently listening to The Thief in preparation of checking out The Savior. I can't freakin' wait!

Want some real guilty pleasure in a similar fantasy track, try Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series.

Ooh, I just checked out Blood Fury from the library, but I have yet to read it - I'm sure it won't let me down!

I've heard of Kresley Cole, but haven't got a chance to read her books yet. I'll definitely check them out, thanks for the recommendation!

Sara J Maas for me! I disagree strongly with some of the messages about relationships in her books, but I still can’t get away from her writing or storylines.

I have a lit degree but my guilty pleasures are psychological thrillers and procedurals. Among my favorite authors in these genres are Gillian Flynn, Tana French, and Michael Robotham.

I am a James Rollins fan. I have yet to read one of his books that I don't like. Before I even turn the first page I am hooked and will stay up late at night reading. There is drama, suspense, romance, twists and turns. There is nothing im don't love about his books.

I've begun this unhealthy fujoshi journey, and got swept up in the Damon Suede books. Otherwise, I take up Penelope Douglas, Suzanne Wright and B.B. Reid, simply because of how utterly dirty they are.They are the ultimate guilty pleasure but I honestly can't say I'm feeling much sorrow about that.

I think it’s probably Stephanie Meyers. I don’t actually think she is a great author but I still enjoy reading her books anyways.

Sister Soulja's novels - they are not well edited and she portrays women and relationships in a bit of a cliché way, but they're an absolute page turner.

It's Sarah J. Maas, and this is my biggest shame -- though I get so angry at most of the things that happen and most of the things the characters do, I started the Throne of Glass series when I was younger and I became invested.

Cassandra Clare. I love the Mortal Instruments series and it's spin-offs! Lol I even watched the Shadowhunters tv show even though it was objectively bad. But I'm really not that embarrassed by anything I read. If I enjoy it then it has value to me
