I have beloved authors that I’ve read and loved for years. But one of my greatest thrills is to discover a new author that I haven’t read before now. This year I was lucky enough to find 3 new authors I’m looking forward to reading for yrs to come: in reverse alpha order ( because i wouldnt even try to rank them in order of preference) : @Barbara, @Patricia, and @Bette.
Fiona Davis, Jill Mansell, Louise Penny, Thrity Umrigar, Anne Tyler, Pam Jenoff, Elin Hilderbrand, Cara Black to name a very few of the many I love and read regularly.

Oh gosh…where to start? Cathy Lamb, Adriani Trigiani, Lorna Landvik, Heather Gudenkauf, Mary Kubica, Joshilyn Jackson, Julia Quinn, James Patterson, Lisa Scottolini, Janet Evanovich…I’m probably missing at least a half dozen.
One thing I love about this page is it makes me think outside the box and try books and authors I haven’t read before or even thought of in a long time!
