Recognise this? You finish a book by an author you’re reading for the first time and think to yourself, that was great I must read some of their previous books. Then you never get around to it. This year I’m actually going to do it. I’ve chosen six authors whose books I’ve enjoyed and picked two books from their backlist to read some time over the course of this year.
Links from the title will take you to my review, if I’ve read the book, or the book description on Goodreads, if I haven’t yet.
Any thoughts about my choices?
