I saw myself as Joey from the Chalet School (and she is actually Jo from Little Women, don't you think?)<br />Interesting comment, though, that, although we usually like working our way through the back catalogue when we discover a new writer we like, sometimes a writer can become too prolific and put us off!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870044152540639314.post-41113030356188821382014-01-13T16:00:17.367-08:002014-01-13T16:00:17.367-08:00Your list bought back sweet memories!

I did read "Sycamore Row" and enjoyed reading the old Grisham style! Jodi Picolt does make me think! Wally Lamb is someone I would add to my list. Oh... and if Michael Connelly tweeted me I would have freaked out!!

Thanks for bringing back memories. These days, there are so many writers, I usually just read one piece of writing from their work and then move on. Jean Thompson, Jonathan Franzen, Christoph Paul, Rachel Thompson, Wright Forbucks, Paulo Coelho...the list goes on and on, doesn't it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08355885933630440936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870044152540639314.post-43226218837527506602014-01-13T02:40:23.665-08:002014-01-13T02:40:23.665-08:00Well, I think that's because I am referring to...Well, I think that's because I am referring to books where the authors have quite a few books and I've gone on to read their back catalogue. Most indie authors I have read only have 1 or 2 books out, except for your good self, of course, and as you know, I've read and enjoyed all of those, so you can happily add yourself to my list. I did say it wasn't exhaustive!!! I was exhausted when I finished the post!Susan Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787615672680750273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870044152540639314.post-65473394963964272102014-01-13T01:54:57.697-08:002014-01-13T01:54:57.697-08:00I notice there is not one 'indie' writer i...I notice there is not one 'indie' writer in your lists - one of the many things that explains why we're not traditionally published!! <br /><br />I loved the Magic Faraway Tree, Narnia and Jeffo Arch's early ones too - I stopped reading them when I read a boring one. I did love Kane & Abel! Apart from them and dear Emily, we have few in common though.Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.com
