The authors on this list are mainly ones who have written series that I follow. Here they are in no particular order.
Terry Pratchett
Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Of course he is number one. There are over 40 Discworld novels plus a few others.
Rick Riordan
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
He writes the Percy Jackson series and the Kane Chronicles.
Daniel Silva
The English Spy by Daniel Silva
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a series of spy thrillers. This is number 15.
Lindsey Davis
The Ides of April by Lindsey Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
She wrote the Marcus Didius Falco books about a private investigator in ancient Rome and now is writing books about his daughter. I read all 20 of the Falco books and 2 of the next series and one stand alone.
Sherri S. Tepper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
She’s one of my favorite authors. I’ve read 16 of her books and I’m not even close to finishing everything she’s written.
Elizabeth Peters
Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I’ve read the 19 Amelia Peabody mysteries about a family of Egyptologists.
Christopher Moore
Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’ve read 12 of his books but Lamb is definitely my favorite.
Robert Ludlum
The Icarus Agenda by Robert Ludlum
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
He was the first author I purposely binge read. He was also the first author to crush me by dying (though that hasn’t really slowed down the number of books published in his name). I’m not a Bourne fan though. My favorite by far is The Icarus Agenda.
Dick and Felix Francis
Dick Francis’s Damage by Felix Francis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Dick Francis wrote 30 books according to Goodreads and I’m pretty sure I’ve read them all and I’m continuing the read the books his son is writing in his name.
Jim Butcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love the Dresden Files (15 books) and the Codex Alera (6 books). There is a new series starting soon.
Great list! Yay for Rick Riordan, Daniel Silva, Jim Butcher, and Terry Pratchett 🙂
Thanks for dropping by my TTT earlier this week 🙂
I love Jim Butcher–and yet I’ve only read his Dresden Files books. I need to branch out and try his other books too.
I’ve only read one of Daniel Silva books, and I really liked it. He’s been on my list to read more of for awhile now. Robert Ludlum is another one I really want to try.
The Codex Alera series is very different than Dresden. It is high fantasy but also very good.
I need to try more Daniel Silva. These days it seems like I have ARCs coming out of my ears to read first. Need to stop requestimg.
I hate the pressure that comes with arcs. I want to read what I feel like reading, not what i’m obligated to read.
