Top Ten Tuesday


This is my first Top Ten Tuesday.  :)

Top Ten Tuesday was started by The Broke and the Bookish. Every Tuesday there’s a different topic. 


This week's Topic is:  

Top Ten All Time Favorite Authors

It is difficult to choose ten, but My Top Ten Favorite Authors in no particular order are below:

1.  Kate Morton - love all of her books.  My favorite is THE FORGOTTEN GARDEN.  THE FORGOTTEN GARDEN  was pre-blog so no review, but I also liked THE SECRET KEEPER.

2.  William Kent Kruger - ORDINARY GRACE and TAMARACK COUNTY were quite good.

3.  Lucinda Riley - love her books.  My favorite is THE LAVENDER GARDEN.

4.  Renee Rosen - loved both of her books that I read.  DOLLFACE and WHAT THE LADY WANTS.

5.  Pam Jenoff - I met her at the BEA...lovely person.  I have read almost all of her books and she has a new one out.  Can't wait to read it.  Here is one I have reviewed on my blog THE WINTER GUEST.  

6.  Todd Borg - Awesome mystery/thrillers.  I am quoted in his book TAHOE TRAP. Another good book by Mr. Borg is TAHOE CHASE.

7.  Beth Hoffman - You must read her books. LOOKING FOR ME is just as wonderful as SAVING CEECEE HONEYCUTT. SAVING CEECEE HONEYCUTT was pre-blog days so no review, but I think everyone knows the book.

8.  Bette Lee Crosby - All of her books are superb.  Here a few:  THE TWELFTH CHILD and PASSING THROUGH PERFECT.

9.  Karen White - she is awesome.  I am reading her newest book, THE SOUND OF GLASS....very good.  I loved these books:  A LONG TIME GONE, THE TIME BETWEEN.

10.  Barbara Davis - loved her book, THE WISHING TIDE.

    I'd have a hard time just choosing ten as well. We have a few in common though. Beth Hoffman is at the top of my list and so is Karen White. I just got Pam Jenoff's new one the other day. It's not due out till August I think so I'll keep it for summer reading. And as bad as this sounds I have never read one of Kate Morton's books. I know - bad me. Lol.

      Interesting you and a few others don't know these authors. Must be out of your genre, Jessica.

      Thanks for stopping, Jessica.

    Pam Jenoff is has been on my TBR since your review of The Winter Guest and I had forgotten all about William Kent Kruger. I haven't read him in probably 10 years but I always enjoyed his books. Lucinda Riley is another author I'm really looking forward to trying. Great list!

      Thanks, Katherine.

      I think you will enjoy Pam Jenoff and Lucinda Riley. I hope you get to read something of theirs.

      Glad to hear you have read William Kent Kruger. Isn't he wonderful?

      The Kommandant's Girl by Pam Jenoff is the first book I read by her. I was hooked. :)

      Thanks for stopping, Katherine.

    Hi there - Good list of authors. Not sure if I could name 10 without thinking more about it. I know one of those would be Sarah Jio. Her book, Blackberry Winter, has been a favorite of mine.

      It was difficult to choose only 10, but these came to mind first.

      Thanks for stopping, Diane.

    I have read and enjoyed several from your list, especially Renee Rosen's What The Lady Wants. I liked that for portraying Marshall Field so well, as his store was my all time favorite before Macy's took over.
