Dear Steave,
Thank you for your letter.
Our family is fond of reading!/ Our family enjoys reading!
I like to read books by Russian and foreign authors. I prefer reading fictional books. I also like fairy-tales, thrillers and love stories. My favorite authors are L. Tolstoy, A. Pushkin, L. Carrol, O. Wilde among others. I have a good collection of books at home.My favorite books are Chronicles of Narnia and Alice in Wonderland. I'm sure you should have read them! / You should read them! (depending on the meaning you are trying to bring across.)
My parents are also fond of reading. My mother likes essays and poetry. My father prefers to read scientific books, but he reads detective stories as well. My elder brother is interested in books about castles and he knows all about it! My grandmother often reads books on knitting and baking. As a matter of fact, that her cooking is very tasty! My grandfather is a well-read man. He knows about everything! He likes to read historical books. He knows german and sometimes, he reads books in that language.
My congratulations to your sister! I hope she is happy. How can you spent her married? (How much was spent for her marriage?/ How could you bare to see her get married?) What were the presents given to her? Do you like her husband?
I hope to receive your letter soon. / I hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes,
Dasha.

Dear Steave,
Thank you for your letter.
You know that our family is fond of reading! (or "enjoys reading" - they're interchangeable)
I like to read books by Russian and foreign authors. I prefer reading fiction. I also like fairy-tailes, thrillers and love stories. My favorite authors are L. Tolstoy, A. Pushkin, L. Carrol, O. Wilde and others. I have a good collection of books at home. My favorite books are Chronicles of Narnia and Alice in Wonderland. I think you should read them!
My parents are also found of reading. My mother likes essays and poetry. My father prefers to read scientific books, but sometimes he reads detective stories. My elder brother is interested in books about castles and he knows everything about them! My grandmother often reads books about knitting and batch (Do you mean "выпечка"? It's called pastry). It's a matter of fact that her cooking is very tasty! My grandfather is a well-read man. He knows about (I just feel like it sounds better without "about") everything! He likes to read historical books. By the way, he knows German (if you're speaking of language) and sometimes he reads books in the original language.
My congratulations to your sister! I hope she is happy. How can you spent her married? (What do you mean?) What were the presents given to her? Does you like her husband?
I hope to get your letter soon.
Best wishes,
Dasha.
