I have recently been “trying out” new authors, in hopes of finding a few authors who I can add to my “Favorite Authors” list. Unfortunately, I have hit a few snafoos… which has me going back and revisiting authors who I really like, but who I have (for some reason) put on a type of “hold.” These are authors whose books I own, and whose books are sitting on my TBR (To Be Read) bookshelves.<\/p>\n
When I get recommendations from site readers I add the authors to my list of authors to post, and when I finally get to their names, I do some research and then make up their pages. A lot of the time there are authors who look like they will be really good matches for my taste in mystery books. So even though I am a very slow reader these days, I put those authors who truly look interesting (to me, that is!) on my “authors to try” short list. Unfortunately, some of the time I find an author or two\u00a0who I simply cannot read. I know I have said this before, but if the author can’t grab my attention in (+\/-) the first fifty pages, then I feel like it simply is NOT going to happen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Anyway, I have decided that it is time for me to go with the “tried and true” authors (for me, that is!) so I will be reading three authors who I have really enjoyed in the past, but for some reason I haven’t read in a while: Susan Wittig Albert<\/a>, Carola Dunn<\/a>, and Monica Ferris<\/a>. All three are authors who I started reading YEARS ago… All three are authors who I revisited throughout the years, but for some reason, never read their series all the way through. I wonder if the reason I never “caught up” with these authors is because I always wanted to have\u00a0books in my TBR bookshelf that I knew I would enjoy.<\/p>\n Do you have authors who you have “saved for a rainy day<\/strong>?“<\/strong> Author who you know will pull you into their novels and make you want to read, read, and read?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have recently been “trying out” new authors, in hopes of finding a few authors who I can add to my “Favorite Authors” list.
