Right now for me, Uzma Jalaluddin, author of Hana Khan Carries on 🎙️

That’s me with Malcolm Gladwell and Jodi Picoult. Thanks for the recco! Looking forward to the Kara Thomas rabbit hole…

shutterbutter68.bsky.social•58 days ago

Oh I love Jody Picoult. Mad Honey was SO good.

homebasebri.bsky.social•58 days ago

Yessss! I also loved Wish You Were Here, and her latest By Any Other Name. The female protagonists are always the best!

Me! I discovered Tana French in late 2020, and she got me through the pandemic. Just now read “Say Nothing,” by Patrick Radden Keefe, and now have all his books on my Libby holds.

I love Tanya French but I couldn’t finish her latest. It drug on. I was so disappointed.

alongmessage.bsky.social•58 days ago

I listened and may have increased the reading speed on that one!

shutterbutter68.bsky.social•58 days ago

😂 It went into my DNF pile

poetsofsweetpea.bsky.social•57 days ago

I discovered Tana French last year and then I read them all. Brilliant!

lisalee333.bsky.social•57 days ago

Yes, I do that all the time!

bananalaska.bsky.social•58 days ago

For me it’s Haruki Murakami - my goodness his books are like reading dreams.

fraidicat2.bsky.social•58 days ago

Same. I do that too.

smdapelo.bsky.social•57 days ago

I'm right there with you. Right now I'm on a Steffanie Holmes rip.

Oh boy, that is the bane of my wallet for sure! 76 books by Jack Higgins, almost 80 by Martin Bowman, Zaloga and Drendel and Rottman are all in the high 60s and 70s... 50+ by Griffin, another 50 by Cornwell.

Honestly, I blame them for writing so many good books over so many years! #booksky

shutterbutter68.bsky.social•58 days ago

lol I spend so much on books!🤦🏻‍♀️

disastergis.org•58 days ago

Thank god for libby and ebooks, otherwise last year alone would have been $2000! That's if I bought each book I read at the lowest price I could find (often used/poor condition).

shutterbutter68.bsky.social•58 days ago

Love love Libby!

poetsofsweetpea.bsky.social•57 days ago

Reading a good authors backlog is the dream. Its the primary consolation to being late to the party.

shutterbutter68.bsky.social•57 days ago

It really is! Now I have my friend reading all her books. Lol

resisterjane.bsky.social•58 days ago

Thank you for the recommendation. I did that with John Irving and it was a wild ride.

heralatus.bsky.social•55 days ago

I’ve just started reading after a 20 year break last year but I have several authors with which I plan to read all of their books Delilah Dawson, Cassandra Khaw, R.F. Kuang, Matt Dinniman, to name a few.

cynthiaabv.bsky.social•58 days ago

That’s what happened to me with Isabel Allende.

shutterbutter68.bsky.social•58 days ago

Oh we read one of her books in our book club last year.

cynthiaabv.bsky.social•58 days ago

My favorite of hers is In the House of the Spirits.

shutterbutter68.bsky.social•58 days ago

That was the one! It’s been a little bit since we read it

whatlaurasreading.bsky.social•58 days ago

I do this too. It's just so wonderful at times. I am working my way through the backlist of a few romance authors, and I'm loving every minute of it.

Ironically, I think I have read a new book in years probably cause I’m spending most of my free time writing new chapters of my various books

But I used to enjoy reading all the time I have a full copy of the Lord of the rings

karencampbellmoore.bsky.social•58 days ago

I’m in the middle of doing this with Becky Chambers

bc30000.bsky.social•57 days ago

I kept going back to the library and checking out Bill Pronzini mysteries. A few years later I realized I had read the entire series. Still trying to read every short story by Jack London and Ambrose Bierce.

janewoodthorpe.bsky.social•58 days ago

I did that with Ruth Jones books! Bought one on spec - not sure whether I’d like her style - but loved it & then bought the other 2 novels she’s written! #booksky

shutterbutter68.bsky.social•58 days ago

It’s as if my #tbr is not large enough, I do this 😂

shorttimer.bsky.social•58 days ago

Started with Kate Quinn - the Briar Club. Then read every book she has written!!

meeyooer.bsky.social•55 days ago

Having discovered Simenon I'm pretty relieved I just read the Maigrets 😂

karendiem.bsky.social•57 days ago

Assuming their other stuff is in a genre I read, yes.

Even if it's not, if it's got an entertaining description, I might give it a try unless it's in a total nope genre.

stephhyer.bsky.social•58 days ago

I'm on a Laurie Halse Anderson kick. Read Speak and Fever 1793. Now reading Wintergirls
