Top Ten Authors I Wish Would Write Another Book


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's topic is:  Top Ten Authors I Wish Would Write Another Book (debut authors, authors who seem to have taken a hiatus, OR for those who read classics authors you wish would have written another book before they passed)

1.) Anne Rice-I know she is still writing but I would love if she write another vampire or Mayfair witches book!
2.) Ann M. Martin-I was a huge Babysitter's Club fan when I was a kid and wouldn't mind seeing a current book with the old characters.  There's a new Sweet Valley book, why can't the BSC come back too?
3.) R.L. Stine-It would be so fun to read an adult Fear Street book.
4.) Elizabeth Kostova-I loved The Historian and The Swan Thieves was pretty good.  I definitely wouldn't mind seeing a new book from her.
5.) Tracey Chevalier-I have read Girl with a Pearl Earring 2 or 3 times and I enjoyed all of her other books but it's been a few years since she has written something.
6.) Mitchell James Kaplan-I read By Fire, By Water a month or two ago and it was such a good book.  I am really hoping to see another book by him soon.
7.) Paullina Simons-I know she has written a lot of books besides The Bronze Horseman trilogy but I would love it if she would write another historical fiction novel set in Russia.
8.) Suzanne Collins-Who wouldn't want to read a new book by the author of The Hunger Games?
9.) Kathryn Stockett-The Help was such a hit that I hope to see something new from her.
10.) Diana Gabaldon-I know she just had a new book come out but I sure wish she would hurry the heck up and finish the next Outlander book!!!

    Anne Rice is a talented, gifted writer- The Witching Hour was one of the best books I have ever read. Trust me - if I finished a book that thick (lame , I know) it had to be good. I felt like I experienced New Orleans when I read that book. I could see it all , although I have never been...

    I heard Paullina Simons is writing her next books around Alexander's parents, so that sounds good!

    I'd love an adult Babysitters Book. They were the first series I ever loved!

    Totally agree with Gabaldon!

    Tim O'Brien - it has been too long
    Louise Erdrich - can't ever get enough

    Didn't buy into the Stockett book, it felt disengenuous, and gratuitous. "Oh look at me, the southern liberal, am I not so open minded" (sarcasm implied) seriously?

Review: "Oleanna" by Julie K. Rose

Synopsis:  Set during the separation of Norway from Sweden in 1905, this richly detailed novel of love and loss was inspired by the life of the author's great-great-aunts. Oleanna and her sister Elisabeth are the last of their family working their farm deep in the western fjordland. A new century has begun, and the world outside is changing, but in the Sunnfjord their world is as small and secluded as the verdant banks of a high mountain lake. The arrival of Anders, a cotter living just across the farm's border, unsettles Oleanna 's peaceful but isolated existence. Sharing a common bond of loneliness and grief, Anders stirs within her the wildness and wanderlust she has worked so hard to tame. When she is confronted with another crippling loss, Oleanna must decide once and for all how to face her past, claim her future, and find her place in a wide new world. My Thoughts:   I was very surprised by what an absolutely beautiful story Oleanna is.  The ...

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over...

Mailbox Monday (49)

It's time for another Mailbox Monday post!  Once again I could not resist the cheap ebooks that Amazon and Barnes and Noble were promoting this week.  I really need to stop!  I already have more than I can read.  I also was able to spend a little time browsing at the library and I came home with a nice stack of books.  These days, I hardly ever get to spend time at the library by myself for more than a minute or two so it was wonderful to have time to just wander and see what I could find. Purchased (for kindle): The Color of Secrets by Lindsay Ashford The One I Was by Eliza Graham House of Bathory by Linda Lafferty   Purchased (for nook): One Night in Winter by Simon Sebag Montefiore  Becoming Queen Victoria by Kate Williams From the Library: The Messenger by Daniel Silva   The Ripper's Wife by Brandy Purdy Hotel Moscow by Talia Carner Brazen by Katherine Longshore What books did you get...
