This week's theme: Top Ten Authors I've Only Read One Book From But NEED to Read More. I thought this was going to be difficult but it turns out there are a LOT of authors I've only read one book from! Time to update the old To Be Read List!
Top Ten Authors I've Only Read One Book From But NEED to Read More
Seanan
McGuire
I just
finished Sparrow Hill Road (which I loved) and have added all of her books to
the top of my TR list for the next few months. How I had not heard about her
before now is beyond me!
J.A.
Konrath
I was an
afficianado of Konrath’s blog for a long time a few years ago and yet I have
only read one of his books – The List, back in 2010. I really enjoyed it but
never got round to reading any more.
Mike
Carey
Again,
this dates back to 2010, when I read The Devil You Know. Other series got in
the way, though, so I never continued with his Felix Castor novels, something I
am definitely going to have to rectify in the future.
David
Anthony Durham
Acacia
was a fantastic fantasy debut and one of the first books I ever wrote a review
about. Unfortunately, I never got around to continuing with the series. They
are on my TR list but have been pushed down time and time again. Hopefully I’ll
get to them sometime next year!
James
Ellroy
The
Black Dahlia is my only novel of his I have read. I have Perfidia on my
immediate TR list so I will probably have read a second book by this time next
month!
Paolo
Bacigalupi
A hugely
entertaining and mind-bending sci-fi novel, I never got around to reading
anything more after The Windup Girl. I will definitely rectify this when his
new novel – The Water Knife – comes out next year.
Guillermo
del Toro
You
would think that with all the hype about the TV series recently I would have gotten
around to reading beyond the first book of The Strain, but unfortunately not.
Elizabeth
Bear
I had
heard so many good things about the Eternal Sky series but only got around to
reading the first book in the series earlier this year. Definitely one to
follow!
Robert S
Redick
Another
long-ago debut, The Red Wolf Conspiracy has everything I like in fantasy – a
weird world with steampunk leanings, interesting characters and an intriguing
plot. I think it was the length of the follow-ups that meant I never got around
to reading them but I hope to get on with them next year.
Brian
Staveley
Staveley’s
The Emperors’ Blades was probably my favourite fantasy debut of the year. I
have not read anything else by him for the simple reason that he hasn’t
released the follow-up yet. It will be at the top of my TR list as soon as it
comes out early 2015.
