This week's question comes from Christina who blogs at The Paperback Princesses. She asks:
"If you find a book you love, do you hunt down other books by the same author?"
Yes, yes, yes! I do tend to become a bit author-obsessed if I find one I love! I certainly try and read all their books, but not necessarily one after another as even the most amazing authors can become a bit samey after a while. It does happen that I fall out of love with an author as their writing progresses and changes though - Patricia Cornwell is a perfect example here. I read her early books obsessively, paying out for hardbacks as soon as they were published, but her last 4 or 5 books have not grabbed me in the same way.
I think my newest discovery/obsession will be Mo Hayder. I have just finished reading Birdman (thanks Ellie!) and am now hunting down the next in the series!
I'm glad you liked Birdman! I do buy her books as soon as they're out in paperback, I don't think there's too long a wait between releases with her so I haven't been tempted by the hardbacks...yet!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on Patricia Cornwell, probably the only series I've truly given up on so far.
