Which authors do you always buy?
I’ve read all the Harry Potter books, I’ve read the Twilight series, but I don’t know that I’d buy every single book written by J.K. Rowling or Stephenie Meyer. I haven’t read Meyer’s “The Host” and I haven’t read Rowling’s “Tales of Beedle the Bard.” But I do buy and read every single book Emily Giffin writes. I fell in love with her debut novel “Something Borrowed” back in 2004 when it was released and since then I’ve known the release date of each of her next three books and have bought them all and starting reading them all the day they went on sale. Her next novel “Heart of the Matter” releases next spring and that’s not soon enough for me.
Emily Giffin would be tops on my list of authors whose books I will always buy and buy right away. On that list I would also include Khaled Hosseini, Courtney Summers, Julie Buxbaum, Allison Winn Scotch, and, increasingly, Elizabeth Scott.
Julie Buxbaum’s second novel, After You, releases this summer and I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my advance copy because I happen to think Julie is a phenomenal author and her debut “The Opposite of Love” is one of my favorites.
Whose books will you always buy? Which authors do you track? Whose tales do you make sure to purchase or check out from the library the day they release?
