Top Ten Tuesday - Please Write a New Book!
Happy Tuesday, dear readers! This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt from That Artsy Reader Girl is ten authors I wish would write a new book. This one was kind of tough because most of my favorite authors are usually very good about writing new material, so I had to reach way back for a couple of these (like the early 1980's, so waaaaaay back).
🩷 Nan Ryan (1936-2017) - When I was a teenager, years ago during the dinosaur age, I LOVED reading romance novels by Nan Ryan. I collected her books and reread them many times. She will always be one of my favorite romance authors.
🖤 Sylvie Sommerfield (1931-1994) - Another one of my favorite romance authors. The first time I read her book, Betray Not My Passion, I was so moved by it that I wrote Miss Sommerfield a letter to let her know just how much I loved it. To my surprise, she wrote me back, and I still have her letter to this day.
🩷 Delia Owens - I hope Where the Crawdads Sing won't be her last book.
🖤 Stephenie Meyer - It's been four years since Stephenie blessed us with Midnight Sun. Time for a new vampire series!
🩷 Bonnie Garmus - Lessons in Chemistry was one of my favorite reads from 2022. I hope Bonnie writes another book soon.
🖤 Shelby Van Pelt - Another favorite book from 2022 was Remarkably Bright Creatures. I fell in love with Marcellus the octopus, and that book stayed with me a long time, so fingers crossed the author is working on something new.
🩷 Kim Michele Richardson - I decided to listen to The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek and The Book Woman's Daughter on audiobook, and I'm so glad I did because the narrator, Katie Schorr, really brought these books to life. They're still some of my favorite audiobooks.
🖤 Francine Rivers - It's been a couple of years since Francine published The Lady's Mine, so hopefully we'll get a new book from her in the very near future.
🩷 Kelly Mustian - A fellow Mississippian, Kelly's debut novel, The Girls in the Stilt House, is still one of my favorite debut novels. I look forward to reading more from her.
🖤 Miranda Cowley Heller - The Paper Palace is another debut novel that really blew me away. I don't know how many times my jaw hit the floor while reading this book. I hope Miranda's next book is just as shocking and unforgettable.

DeleteI haven't read a Stephanie Meyers novel although I think I did star reading The Host years ago, but still I forgot about her! Same with Suzanne Collins, although she has now published THG prequel. Hope some of these authors write new books for you to enjoy. Thanks a bunch for visiting my website today! :)
