I love this! So interesting to audit the authors you haven't even realized you return to. Pratchett is definitely a staple for me to, I think he's a most re-read probably. It is always hard to weigh love vs prolific chess in counting like this. I probably weigh Susanna Clarke and Pratchett at a similar level of love, but of course she has so few books she would never be a most read author! Fortunately the Milk is a joy, I did a side by side read of two different illustrations of it a couple years ago, it was brilliant. Man I need to get back to rereading his work too... So many here I want to get to, I've got two Kingsolver books but haven't tried her yet. Wow that you read all of Millard's books in a year!
That is so true! There are authors that I would love to read more from but they only have a couple of books! Some authors win by being prolific. It is so worth it to go back through the authors that I read a lot from. Sometimes I notice that I have read 2+ books from an author and didn't like any of them! Being aware helps me avoid that 😅I think you would really like Kingsolver! She does a fantastic job
Oh, great idea for a video! I'm reading Ann Patchett now and I appreciated what you said about her writing carrying you along but that it can sometimes feel a bit boring. Captured how I am feeling at the moment! I loved Commonwealth and Bel Canto - but that ending??
Thank you! I wasn't too angry with the ending in Bel Canto. I think I was expecting the ending to leave me with those types of feelings so I wasn't too bothered but I can see why people would not like it!
Terry Pratchett is the author who got me into reading, you've managed to avoid his discworld books somehow which is his best stuff. I would recommend 'Guards, Guards' or'Going Postal' as a good starting place, as its best to start at the beginning of one of the little subseries. I've never read Patchett or Kingsolver, I read most of John Green's books as a younger man too (I also am subscribed to awesomesocks), he is very samey. I do like Gaiman but the only books ove ever really loved of his were Good Omens and Ocean, American Gods didnt do much for me. The Emperor of All Maladies sounds really interesting.
I am adding Guards, Guards and Going Postal to my TBR right now. Thanks for the recommendations 😀I think you would really like The Emperor of All Maladies! It is a little information heavy but absolutely fascinating!
I’m a fan of Barbara Kingsolver. I think Prodigal Summer is my favorite 😊 Great list!
Thank you for the recommendation! It will go on my list right now 😊

Some familiar names, and some new ones to me! 🥰
I am always surprised when I see what authors I read multiple books from! I don't always remember which authors I have read before 😅
