That’s so awesome you talked to Ruth Ware!! Darayana, have you read Peter Swanson? I love his books. The Kind Worth Killing and Her Every Fear. A little darker than Ware but similar pacing and tone.

We live in an exciting time. There’s so many good authors out there. Dakota Krout’s books are a fun read.

I’m a new author 🙂 my new book Mind Trip can be found at http://www.mind-trip.org/ You may wish to check it out. Mind Trip is a collection of creative thought explorations spanning the period of four years of college attendance, presented with gorgeous artwork that thematically complements the ideas in each clever composition.

I’m not sure if you’re on GoodReads or not – They have Read Alikes Book Lists. I haven’t used those lists as much as this website. I’ve found some new authors that I would otherwise never have discovered on my own. https://www.bookbrowse.com/read-alikes/ [I am not a member but enjoy the 2 author suggestions and subscribe to mailings.]

There is also http://www.literature-map.com/
“The Literature-Map is part of Gnod, the Global Network of Discovery. It is based on Gnooks, Gnod’s literature recommendation system. The more people like an author and another author, the closer together these two authors will move on the Literature-Map.”

Thank you @Michelle. Always fun to learn about another book/reading related website. It’s bookmarked and I can’t wait to “click around.” 🙂

fairly new author: Elizabeth Bonesteel. She has a series called “Central Corps” – 3 books out so far. I found out about her earlier this year when I won one of her books in a GoodReads giveaway – and been hooked since. She writes a sort of “military sci-fi” however very enjoyable, great characters with depth and wonderful story lines.

I recommend “The Shadow of the Wind” by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Hauntingly beautiful…he has a series. https://www.carlosruizzafon.co.uk/news/new-novel-come-2018/

Fiction by Wendell Berry is good. No sex scenes, though, a disappointment for many.
