My New Favorite Author

With so much time away from a computer, I had to keep myself occupied. I always read a lot, and I knew I’d have more time to do so this past summer and fall. I began roaming the library stacks to find new and interesting books. While looking for another author, I happened upon Jodi Picoult, and knew I had a keeper. She’s an excellent writer and her work covers a vast array of topics. I’ve now completed reading all her books, and I can’t wait until her next one comes out. Most of the stories take place in New England, although she ventures out into CA, SD, AZ in some tales. My town library didn’t have all her books, but they began ordering them from the county for me. Once I finished the final book last week, I felt a sense of loss – now that’s a good author! If you’re interested in the progression of an author’s talents, read Jodi’s from the first one [Songs of the Humpback Whale] on through the rest [I think there are 18 in all] and you’ll see how beautifully she writes.
I’m now getting into Jacqueline Mitchard, who has a great style, but not many books yet. Now that I’ll be back on the pooter, I guess the amount of my reading will diminish, but I hope to keep up.
Cookies and candies are finished. Today, just a few quick breads and I’ll stop.
Peace,
