Friday Fives - Five Authors I Have Been Neglecting


I'm taking a bit of a break from my usual Friday Linkups to try something a little different.  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.  I've been in a serious cozy mystery binge the last few years which means I've been neglecting some of my favorite authors from other genres.  Here are 5 I'm hoping to pick up books from soon.


1. Hazel Gaynor - I have loved every book I've read by this author but she has so many that I haven't picked up yet.

2.  Beatriz Williams - There was a year or two were I was flying through her books but it's been at least 2 years since I've picked up anything by her.


3.  Sarah Addison Allen - This author was my go-to summer read for awhile and I always enjoy her books.  

4.  Jenny Colgan - I actually have read a Jenny Colgan in the last year but I have at least 4 more by her on my shelf that I need to read.


5.  Lisa Jewell - This is more on the suspense side and I love Lisa Jewell's books in audio.  This looks like a good one to pick up this summer.

Do you have any authors you love that you've been neglecting?

  1. Katherine, if you can snag a copy of Lisa Jewell's new book on Netgalley go do it! It's a great narrative, back and forth and a surprise twist for me.

  2. I love that Williams cover. and Lisa Jewell- I've loved several of her books but have fallen off the Jewell bandwagon the last couple years!

  3. I've never read anything by Gaynor, Allen, or Williams although I have books by all of them on my TBR list. Colgan is one I definitely want to read more from as I've enjoyed the two (?) I've read by her. I just DNF'd Jewell's new one because it was a little too much for me. I hope you can back to reading some of your neglected favorites soon!

  5. These all look good. I'm especially interested in Meet Me In Monaco. I never read that author and it looks really good.

  6. I'm not a completist of any authors on your list but I've enjoyed at least one by all of them. Of them all I'd like to read another Lisa Jewell book.

  7. Then She Was Gone is excellent! Disturbing, but riveting.

  8. I am not a completist of any of these authors but have tried them all and liked what I read. I just find there are so many good books, book gluttony I think I have and then I get indigestion!! But better to have a glut than a lack.

  9. Yes, maybe Alice Hoffman, a little bit, but I have an ARC of her latest Practical Magic series book so I will be reading her soon. 😊
