I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists. Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much. This is the last Friday of the year and I've been giving some serious thought to my reading for 2026. My reading in 2025 wasn't bad but it wasn't what I wanted to be. One of the issues I think is constantly trying new authors/series instead of reading more of authors I know I really enjoy. I've got quite a bit of "one hit wonders" where I read one book by an author but then never read more of them. I found 5 books that I only read one from that author and here are the next books on my list.
1. The Wandering Season by Aimie K. Runyan - I loved A Bakery in Paris from this author and this book involves genealogy and family secrets. I bought it last year at a local bookstore and it's just been sitting on my shelf.
2. A Talent for Murder by Peter Swanson - Nine Lives was a surprise favorite for me and this one looks really good.
3. The Garden of Small Beginnings by Abbi Waxman - The Bookish Life of Nina Hill provided all the warm fuzzies I could want and this one is next on my list.
4. Peril at Owl Park (Aggie Morton, Mystery Queen #2) by Marthe Jocelyn - I really enjoyed the first book in this middle grade mystery series loosely based on Agatha Christie and am really looking forward to reading this second book.
5. Everyone on This Train is a Suspect by Benjamin Stevenson - I had zero interest in Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone but this one caught my eye so I went on and read the first book. I absolutely loved it and was so excited to pick up this second book - and then didn't read it and it's been over a year.
Who are some of your one hit wonders?
