Each and every book written carries a part of the author. They include a bit of their life, breath, heartache and soul. The books you like would not exist without their authors.
Sue Grafton in order to finish the alphabet series. She had just finished Y and passed from cancer. Selfish of me, but I want Kinsey Milhone(protagonist) to find a happy ending in her life. That would only happen with the final- Z.
I would bring back Charles Perrault or Jean de La Fontaine. I love these two authors. Charles Perrault is definitely fantastic as a fairy tale author. Jean de La Fontaine’s fables are beautiful.
There are too many. I’m inclined to say William Shakespeare…who could probably broaden our understanding and portrayal of all humanity EVEN FURTHER through writing more plays.
Jane Austen ❤️
She Grafton
Oops…sue
Emma Martin it is coming up on one year. She succumbed to cancer 12/28/17.
Robert Jordan.
I think I would have preferred if he’d finished out WoT, instead of Sanderson.
Or William Goldman.
Buttercup’s Baby would have been an entertaining read.
Sue Grafton. I’m still sad that she was one book short of completing her series.
Ernest Hemingway❤️

Has to be Charles Dickens and Sir Terry Pratchett (can’t choose one).

@Leonie I’m not saying I hate the author. I’m just saying I judge the book by the book not the author. Does that make sense?

Sue Grafton. Seriously the woman got to the second last letter of the alphabet and died. I want to read the series but what if Y is a cliffhanger!!

James D. Doss. I loved all his books featuring Charlie Moon. I really miss those characters.
I would bring back Charles Perrault or Jean de La Fontaine. I love these two authors. Charles Perrault is definitely fantastic as a fairy tale author. Jean de La Fontaine’s fables are beautiful.
