Auto-Buy Authors

After celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving, I thought I would share my appreciation for some of the authors whose books have been a source of inspiration, hope, knowledge, and delight over the months, years, or in some cases, decades. The concept of having certain authors on auto-buy because all of their previous books have been just that stellar has been helpful to me as a reader as I am already familiar with them. Plus, it makes it incredibly easy to know which books to add to the wishlist!

Here are the auto-buy authors that are on my fiction list (so far!):

Historical

Kate Breslin: I own all of her books, but have not yet read them all
Kristy Cambron: I own all of her books, but have not yet read them all
Elizabeth Camden: I have read all of her books, but don't own them all
Jennifer Delamere: I have read some of her books and own most of them
Kristi Ann Hunter: I have read all of her books and own them all
Julie Klassen: I have read most of her books and own most of them

Contemporary

Tari Faris: I have read all of her books and own them all
Rachel Hauck: I have read most of her books and own most of them
Liwen Y. Ho: I have read most of her books and own some of them
Denise Hunter: I own all of her books, but have not yet read them all
Bethany Turner: I have read all of her books, but don't own them all
Becky Wade: I own all of her books, but have not yet read them all

Both Historical and Contemporary

Pepper Basham: I have read some of her books and own some of them
Nicole Lam: I have read most of her books and own some of them
Gabrielle Meyer: I have read some of her books and own some of them

I'm grateful that I've been able to read such good titles from all of these authors, and look forward to what's next for them!
