Old Follower :)
I want to read more books by Juliet Blackwell. Glad you like her books.
DeleteI've read one of Erle Stanley Gardner's mysteries; and a few of Juliet Blackwell's books. But none of the other authors. Though I do really want to read the newest by Marie Benedict. Fun TTT list. :D
ReplyDeleteI want t read more books by both Erle Stanley Gardner and Juliet Blackwell.
DeleteTaylor Jenkins Reid and Stephen Graham Jones topped my list.
ReplyDeleteI've read two of Charlotte McConaghy's and loved both of them.
I want to read another book by Charlotte McConaghy. Which books by her have you read?
DeleteGreat list! I need to read more of Akwaeke Emezi's work -- I have a couple on my shelves, but I haven't got to it yet. So many books, so little time, etc.
ReplyDeleteYes, so many books, so little time!!
DeleteI recognise a few names, thanks for sharing your #TTT discoveries
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT to you and happy reading!! I hope you discover some wonderful new to you authors in 2026!

Happy TTT to you and happy reading!! I hope you discover some wonderful new to you authors in 2026!
DeleteI enjoy Erle Stanley Gardner. I have read three or four by him and one I didn't enjoy but the others I did. I am looking forward to reading more about him this year.
ReplyDeleteI'd eventually like to read the entire Perry Mason series by Erle Stanley Gardner. There are 57 books in the series, so this seems like a daunting task.
DeleteI've only read one book by R. J. Palacio (Wonder), but I loved it. I'm currently reading Charlotte McConaghy's Wild Dark Shore (on audio) and am loving the story. Great narration, too. I've only read one by Marie Benedict (The Other Einstein) and need to look for more by her. I read a lot of great new-to-me authors last year. My post is here.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the audio version of Wild Dark Shore too. I read and enjoyed The Other Einstein too. I want to read more by Marie Benedict.
