I’ll be back…
15 September 2014 
This week over at The Broke and the Bookish the theme for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday is ‘authors who I’ve only read one book but intend to read more.’
Ray Bradbury. I loved Something Wicked and want to read Dandelion Wine next.
Django Wexler who wrote The Thousand Names. I definitely need to set aside some time to read No.2
Sarah Lotz. The Three was an excellent chiller. I will definitely read more Lotz! (I see a future with lots more Lotz – sorry, couldn’t help myself!)
Joe Abercrombie. Can’t believe I’ve only read one book by Lord Grimdark. In fact I feel quite ashamed of myself!
Diana Wynne Jones. I loved Howl’s Moving Castle and have a copy go Charmed waiting patiently on my shelves.
Charles de Lint. Such a well respected fantasy author. I’ve read The Blue Girl and intend to return to more by CdL very soon.
Christopher Moore. I loved Serpent of Venice! Loved it!! And, it will defo be on my end of year list. Need to read more of The Fool.
Jo Baker. I really enjoyed revisiting Longbourn and spending time once again in the Bennet’s household. I seriously hope that this author will revisit other classics in a similar way.
Richard Matheson. I am Legend is so good. I want to read his Stir of Echoes next.
Jacqueline Carey. Read Kushiel’s Dart last year and want to continue with the series!
I had quite a lot of authors that I could include this week! What about you?
Books and travelling with Lynn 
Funny you mention de Lint. I’d like to read more of him too, but I feel like people are so rarely talking about it…I was starting to wonder if nobody enjoyed his stuff quite as much as I found myself doing or if it was just coincidence. I think Im going to go with coincidence. I read Dreams Underfoot and have a couple more of his on my shelf waiting for me.
I’m really looking forward to reading lots of Lotz too. 🙂
Oooh, I forgot about Ray Bradbury! He should have been on my list. I’ve only read Fahrenheit 451, and would want to read Something Wicked This Way Comes next.
I have a hit-and-miss relationship with de Lint. I really liked Jack of Kinrowan, as well as Blue Girl, but I hated Forests of the Heart and was ‘meh’ about Yarrow. Perhaps I tried the wrong books. But yeah, I’d recommend Jack of Kinrowan.
I love Howl’s Moving Castle, and I love Charmed Life second best from the books I’ve read by her, so that’s a good book to have waiting for you. And you’re right, I am Legend is so good!
I’m reading Something Wicked This Way Comes next month for book club, glad to hear such good things about it 🙂 Also, Sarah Lotz’s book is amazing! Loved I am Legend as well, but I have heard his other books are not as good. I’m scared to find out, so have stopped on a high note.
Dandelion Wine has probably got to be my favourite Bradbury novel. I hope you enjoy it too. I have only read one Agatha Christie so far and I would love to read more.
I want to read more Lotz myself, and I should hunt down more books by her. She’s written under a couple different names though, so I’ll just have to do some digging 🙂
Ooh. A bit of detective work. I like it!
Hooray I’ve read 5 authors on your list – but lets see I think I’ve read two Matheson books…and two Jacqueline Carey ones – the recent Agent of Hel books – I still need to read her Kushiel books that I’ve heard nothing but good things about. I’ve read the Half a King by Abercrombie…and Svaha by Charles de Lint is one of my fav books (I didn’t enjoy Moonheart so much) but I own a ton of his books all sitting on my shelf unread.
Thanks for the Charles de Lint book mention. I will go and look that one up. He’s not so easy to come by in the uk tbh. Have to import
Lynn 🙂
I really liked “I Am Legend” but I have not read any of his other stories. kelley—the road goes ever ever on
I know one of my friends also liked Stir of Echoes and enjoyed it so that’s why I’m thinking of it – plus I’ve see the film and it would be interesting to compare the two.
