Over the past few weeks, I’ve been researching different author websites. I started looking at different websites to get an idea of what I wanted or needed for my own.  The trouble was, as I researched I found a lot of authors who were writing amazing books and before I knew it I had a list as long as my arm of books I wanted to read.  I think I’ve bought 10 books so far to add to my already large pile of ‘books to be read’, that sits by my bed.

Not all the books I bought are paper books.  Some are e-books I have downloaded onto my iPad. I like reading from the iPad as I can make the font larger, something I can’t do with a regular book.

The genres are all a little different too, an assortment of Historical Romance, Children’s Fantasy, Women’s Fiction and Crime Thrillers.  The authors are from different parts of the world, USA, Canada, and Australia. But as I went through my recently acquired books I realized all 10 books have been written by women. I don’t think I set out specifically looking for female authors and I definitely have books by my bedside which have been written by males, so maybe it’s just a coincidence.  Either way, I have plenty to read now.

I’ve just finished reading ‘The Duke and I’ by US author Julia Quinn and ‘The Mapmaker Chronicles’, children’s fantasy books by Australian author Alison Tait.

Currently, I’m reading, on my iPad, ‘The Paris Seamstress’ by Australian author Natasha Lester. It’s really got me hooked and I highly recommend reading it.

Do you have a favorite author?  An author you just have to get his/her latest book as soon as it hits the shelves?  I’m interested to know who?

Talk again soon.
