Hello everyone! The holidays are nearly here, but I have a treat for you! If you haven’t liked the Savvy Verse & Wit Facebook page yet, go do it now.
Beginning Dec. 12 (sometime this afternoon the first pick will be revealed), I’ll reveal one of the books on my Best of 2014 book list, through Dec. 24.
That’s one book from the list per day, with a tidbit about why I loved the book and a link to where you can buy it.
Today, I wanted to talk about those authors we love so much that we buy their books automatically no matter what the subject. I used to have just a few of those authors, but my list is now growing! I thought today would be a good day to share not only the older ones on the list, but also the newer ones that have joined the ranks.
My previous list:
- Yusef Komunyakaa
- Tim O’Brien
- Stephen King
- Anita Shreve
- Amy Tan
- Isabel Allende
- James Patterson
- Anne Rice
- Mary Oliver
- Billy Collins
My additions to the list:
- Beth Kephart
- Jeannine Hall Gailey
- Jane Odiwe
- Syrie James
- Abigail Reynolds
- Karen White
- Beth Hoffman
- Jill Mansell
- Janel Gradowski
- Diana Raab
- C.W. Gortner
- John Shors
I find it interesting that there are many more female authors being added to my auto-buy list.
I’m not really sure why so many great female authors are being added to my auto-buy list these days. It isn’t that I haven’t read some great male authors, but perhaps I need to read more of them to get a true sense of their work and whether I want to buy it automatically no matter the subject.
Do you have auto-buy authors? Who are they? What attracts you to their work?
