I am interested in finding some new good books to read.
I love authors such as Nickolas Sparks, Billie Letts, Nora Roberts, Danielle Steel, etc.

Try: Anita Shreve-Light On Snow
Sue Monk Kidd- The Mermaid's Chair
The Secret Life of Bees
John Green- Looking For Alaska
An Abundance of Katherines
These are different but The MMC is sort of a romance as are Alaska and Katherines it is important to open ouir minds a little and read something different.The "Love Inspired" Harlequin romances are quite nice.

Oh boy! Well, judging by the books you have listed, I'd read Mitch Album, and maybe look into some 19th century romances. I happened to hate this paticular book, but it's called Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte. It's a love story, I hated it, but it's an essential. The Great Gatsby is a good read (F. Scott Fitzgerald), and you may find that you like a novelist named Ayn Rand. She is by far the best author I have ever read. She writes books centered on her philosophy of life, called objectivism, but also tells an amzing story if you aren't interested in philosophy. Here's a list of some books and plays she wrote: The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged (Amazing but really long(over 1000 pages(I have yet to finish it))), We the Living, Anthem, The Night of January 16th, and Ideal (the last two are plays).

It sounds to me like you like romances, so I'd suggest:
Phantom of the Opera by Leroux
Princess Bride by Goldman
Jane Austen, everything she wrote is marvelous
Gone With the Wind by Mitchell
Wuthering Heights by Bronte
They're all great classic romances!
Enjoy!

Have you tried the classics such as 'Tom Sawyer' by Mark Twain or 'Little Women' by Louisa M Alcott?

" The Alchemist" By Paulo Coelho .. Also "11 minutes", by the same author. "The Color Purple" is excellent. Also, "The Hacienda" by St. Lisa DE Teran is excellent. "The heart of Darkness" ( forgot author) is also good..
