Favorite Authors–For your Reading Slump
This Sunday Book Review is going to look a little different. I am going to list a few of my all-time favorite authors. Consider these a place to start if you are in a reading slump or maybe you have never been a reader and was to know where to start to become a book lover like I am. Here are some suggestions in various genres. Choose something that interests you and go from there. Happy reading.
Mystery/Detective
James Patterson: This author has so many books that I cannot pick a favorite. Reading his books got me through the years with young kids. You know what I’m talking about, you sit down thinking you have a few minutes and immediately someone inevitably needs something. These books are easy readers and do not require you to do a ton of thinking, but can transport you and make fall in love with the characters. You can find them all here.
Frieda McFadden: I started out with her Housemaid series (love,love,love) and then realized just how many books she actually has. Check them out right here!
Fantasy
JK Rowling: I couldn’t talk about fantasy without giving props to this woman. She is the goddess of the brilliant Harry Potter series. Once you’ve given them a read, plan a trip to Universal Orlando and feel like you have been transported right into the books. Thank you to my boys for introducing me way back when they were first released!
If you have already consumed this series, my honorable mention goes both to Sarah J Maas A Court of Roses and Thorns Series. Click here.
And Rebbeca Yarros Fourth Wing series found here
These two series combine both the fantasy genre and romance (with a bit of smut thrown in)
Historical Fiction
This genre has quickly become my new favorite. I will give all of the credit to Kristin Hannah. Shop here. I first read The Nightengale. She writes so well that I had to double check if it was fiction. Her books center on a strong woman character during some of the most trying times in American History. I cannot recommend her enough.
If you are more into Nonfiction. I am going to give you a couple books that are both auto biographies and when you purchase the audible version they read it to you themselves. It’s a WIN-WIN
Green Lights by Matthew Mcconaughey SHOP here
Spare by Prince Harry is an interesting dive into a world we know nothing about, even if you aren’t a royal watcher (like my mama)!
