Yohan I used to look forward to that series but yeah, not so much anymore. Checked out 17th from the library but I think it was out of habit 😉

Yohan There are some really good books of his out there but most of them are from his earlier writing. My personal opinion is that when he writes the book by himself, you’re more likely to get a better story.

Colleen McCullough. I used to love soap opera, saga type books when I was young but they’re just too much for me now.

Josh same. I haven’t even tried her new stuff or her Galbraith stuff. I have no interest.

JK Rowling for me. I absolutely love Harry Potter but could not for the life of me get through any of her books after Harry Potter. I tried to read Casual Vacancy three times and didn’t even get 100 pages in. 😝

Ashley her newer books haven’t been as good I’ve noticed. too much focus on interpersonal relationships or sexy times rather than actual storyline. of course I haven’t finished her last two, as I stalled out halfway through Crimson Death. so maybe Serpentine focuses more on storyline again *she hopes*

Ashley

Tracey I had the same problem. I like smut as much as the next person but it got a bit…boring. Like that was all there was. I gave up a long time ago but the first handful of books were some of my all time favorites.

1
Tracey

I’ve loved most of them honestly, & as I’ve been reading about Anita et al for almost half my life I will probably eventually read them all, but it would be nice for the animator/executioner/marshall/police consultant parts to become more of the focus again instead of the backdrop to interpersonal drama & increasingly complicated relationships/sexual encounters
heck even just more balance between ‘work’ & ‘not work’

1
Ashley

Tracey I’m with you on that…I miss the investigative/animator/executioner stuff being at the heart of the stories too. I started reading her books while I was still in high school, and they have had a huge influence on me since then, but when I need a fix I just go back to the classics and steer clear of the new stuff.

J.K. Rowling. Everything that came out after Deathly Hollows was just… Meh. Also, she panders to minorities a lot without doing substantial research.

Jodi Picoult. Everyone is too interconnected. EVERYTHING is sad. There is always a twist ( but these twists became far fetched to me). After reading the book about the little girl with osteogenesis imperfecta, I decided she’s a hard pass for me. She needs electric shock therapy for depression

Christine yes! I find her books so far fetched.

Christine which book was that?

Handle with Care. Honestly,19Minutes also bugged me,but it was Handle with Care that turned me off completely. I just can’t be this sad anymore.

Keira

As an author, I should not answer, but I CANNOT NOT SAY FRANCINE RIVERS because the last book of hers I read had the exact opposite of a happy ending and NOT in a good way. NO MORE FRANCINE RIVERS FOR KEIRA. That was literally 25 years ago. I am still angry.
