Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Authors I’d Love a New Book From (These could be authors that have passed away, who have retired from writing, who have inexplicably gone quiet, or who might jut not be able to keep up with how quickly you read their books!)
The first five authors I have mentioned are people who have passed away.
Terry Pratchett - When I was looking at the website, I saw that they have found a "lost" book so there will be something new.
Ariana Franklin - This is an example of a series where a family member continued the series after the author's death.
Sharon Kay Penman - While we will never have a new SKP book, I do still have a couple of books still to read.
Susan Vreeland - I really liked this authors take on historical fiction.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon - I did love Shadow of the Wind so hard
And the next few just don't seem to be writing anymore
Lisa Kleypas - There's an irony that I have three historical romance readers on this list because I just don't really read this genre anymore.
Liz Carlyle - I used to love Liz Carlyle's books but there hasn't been a new one for years now.
Loretta Hill - This author was writing rural fiction featuring women working in really interesting jobs before she just stopped writing.
Laura Florand - A while ago I was going through a huge reading slump and there were only two authors who I was still reading. Laura Florand was one of those.
Tessa Dare - In theory there is going to be another Tessa Dare book but it does keep on getting delayed. The release date is now 3036
A lovely list. It is interesting when "lost" books are found.

This book has become my annual Christmas reread.

That isn't a surprise for me!
DeleteI'm curious about Loretta Hill now. And I loved Here Be Dragons!
ReplyDeleteHer books were really good!
DeleteYes to Sharon Kay Penman!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed!
DeleteI need to finish Ruiz's series but it's so sad knowing that we won't get more books from him. 😭 Shadow of the Wind is one of my all-time favourite books! I still have so many of Kleypas' books to read but I want to get more books from her too cos I've loved all her historicals. 😍 Great list!
ReplyDeleteIt is one of mine too!
DeleteI have not read any of these authors. As often as I see Lisa Kleypas name, I just assumed she was still writing. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI wish!!
DeleteLost books. Those can be good to find. I've never read any of these authors, but Vreeland sounds like someone I should check out. Thanks for sharing.
