Which author's books would you buy unreservedly, knowing that you will definitely enjoy ?
My choice would be Deborah Moggach.

Mitch Albom

Philippa Gregory

Also Sue Townsend and Douglas Adams but sadly we'll never have any more from them. Eoin Colfer's attempt just didn't do it for me.

Ellie Griffiths - crime drama set in deepest darkest Norfolk- loved all of them so far. Agatha Christie. Penelope Lively.

TyneTeas · 20/08/2016 01:04

Ted Allbeury, though I doubt that there are many recent books

Also Gerald Seymour

Ursula Le Guin.

I can't help but wonder if all the people mentioning Stephen King have read Rose Madder, Dreamcatcher or The Tommyknockers!

For fantasy (which I do enjoy along with a bit of scifi)

Robin Hobb
The great Terry Pratchett (I know he has died but if you haven't read before then really worth a try)

Scorbus · 14/08/2016 20:58
