This week’s topic is Mainstream Popular Authors That I Still Have Not Read, a topic suggested by Rissa at Pretentious Reader. Prepare yourself for a shock horror list.
- Stephen King – I’m a scaredy cat, why would I want to give myself nightmares?
- J K Rowling – Books involving magic don’t appeal to me although I can see myself – possibly – reading one of her Cormoran Strike books
- Richard Osman – Just too cosy for me
- Lee Child – I’m partial to an action thriller now and again but have never read one of his
- Taylor Jenkins Reid – Never say never…
- Ken Follett – As a fan of historical fiction I probably should have read one of his books but I can’t get past the fact they’re doorstoppers
- Colleen Hoover – Not a fan of contemporary romance
- Matt Haig – This is my guilty one because I think I actually might enjoy his books
- Lisa Jewell – I just know people will be screaming, ‘No way, you must try one of her books!’
- Suzanne Collins – Knock forty years off my age and there might be a chance, but not now
This week’s topic is Books That Would Make Great Newspaper Headlines, a topic suggested by. . . me! What a great idea, I thought when I submitted it. What a tricky topic, I thought once I sat down to come up with my list. . .
