Reading by Author

Wow! What a wonderful list you have! Must've been fun working in a book store. I have the same problem of running out of books by favorite authors to read because I have read everything they have written. So, with that, I am glad that you wrote such an extensive list because now I've added to my "authors to check out" list. 8) Thank you!

what is the romance jude something it that a title? or an authers

Glad the list could add to yours. Under Romance I just listed authors Jude Deveraux actually writes a variety of romance genre. Contemporary, Historical, paranormal, mystery. The first time I read one of her books it was the 3rd book she had ever written I had run out of books in the house to read and I was DESPERATE for something to read, someone had given me a bag of books but since I didn't like the time period of her historical romance I had avoided it, but it was the only thing left, after that I had to find all her books, at that point she only had 3 and one was a contemporary, which was BAD. She herself has said it was not a good book and at one point decided to stick to historicals because of it. Later has her skills grew she was able to write contemporary novels that are very good. She creates great characters that you just love, and wish were real people so you could meet them even secondary characters, she also has a sense of humor. Another good author with a great sense of humor would be Debbie Macomber If you can find her stories with the helpful angels Shirley Goodness and Mercy ... will follow you... then you will likely get a nice chuckle. These three caring angels keep getting into trouble with Gabriel when they use creative solutions to help those they are assigned to. usually found in christmas stories. Trouble With Angels Where Angels Go Shirley Goodness and Mercy

Ya, I find that I have to venture out and try other authors every once in a while...because I devoured the current books of my favorite authors! I read Steven King's books when I was younger, too. I read every single one until "Cujo" - that book was so frightening! I haven't read a Steven King book since. Thank you for your list, I added to my authors to check out list and will be doing so when I get to the library next. I agree, reading is wonderful!

Thanks for responding. I'm going to try the authors you mention.

Ya, I agree the adventure books are really good. Good tip. Sometimes I track down a new author by reading the reviews written because sometimes the new author is compared to a favorite author that I already read.

Thanks for the response. I agree, a good book and a comfortable chair are very satisfying. 8)

Thanks for your response and compliment on the topic. I agree with you, books are a realxing, enjoyable, take you places you've never been, let you be a porate, baker, spy...or mage, princess, butler, solve crimes as a detective and so much more! Advemtures await! 8)

Thank you for responding and for your suggestion of Paulo Coehno - I added him to my list of authors to try.

Neat that you, too read by authors! I found J.K Rowlings so good! When I picked up one of her books, I read it entirely within a day because I just couldn't put it down. I added your fav's to my list to try out, thanks. 8)

Thanks for sharing. Your tip is much appreciated.

Thanks for responding. I did read Orson Scott Card (gosh so long ago I hate to even mention that!) but haven't tried the other authors you mentioned - I'll be checking out the books my next time at the library, thanks.

ahaha - well good to know that I'm not the only one that reads by author. Thanks for the compliment on the thread. I've added your authors to my list to try, thanks.

Thanks for the responses - I'm adding the ones that I don't have on my authors to try list.

Thomas Harris,I also appreciate him very much.hehe

Actually, lots of people don't read by author. It is sometimes the genre that interests the potential reader or the suggestion by a friend or relative. Thanks for your response.

Okay, you got me interested. I'm gonna check out the two Paulo Coelho books, Herman Hesse and Issac Asimov that you mentioned. Thanks!

Thanks for responding.

Gee, we do have a lot in common - both with lurking and with authors! 8) I'm adding to my list of authors to try with your favorites, thanks!

Thanks for the response. I'm going to add your authors to my list of authors to try!

I know what you mean about reading through all the books that your favorite author wrote...same reason my list of favorite authors keeps growing! 8) Thanks for responding!

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it out.

Okay, I will try a Dan Brown novel. Thanks for responding.
