This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is My Favourite Books by My Favourite Authors, a topic suggested by… me! I didn’t realise how difficult this was going to be when I proposed it because I could have come up with many more ‘favourite’ authors. However the authors I’ve chosen are ones who when I learn they have a new book coming out it invariably gets added to my wishlist. And in some cases it wasn’t that easy to pick out just one book from their backlist as I’ve loved so many of them.
For those who know me well, it will come as no surprise they’re pretty much all historical fiction. Links from each title will take you to my review.
