My theme this year is authors that I've read. More about the books I've read than the authors themselves.
I'm an avid reader. I'm a member of 2 in person reading groups through my local library. I'm gradually working my way through an old BBC reading list of 100 books (I'm about half way through) and I'm taking part in the online 52 Book Club Challenge for the third time this year where the challenge is to read 52 books over the year based on 52 different prompts. You can also find me on Goodreads here.
The D authors I've read are:
There is a tie for my most read D author – I’ve read 6 books by Jeffery Deaver and Lucy Diamond. Very different authors.
The ones I’ve read by Deaver all feature Lincoln Rhyme and unusually I’d seen “The Bone Collector” film before I’d read the book. But I then carried on and I’ve read books 1-5 and 8 in the series. I must track down 6 & 7 at some point.
Lucy Diamond’s books would probably be cast as chick lit but they do have a bit more depth to them than most.
A couple of classics on there by Charles Dickens. I started with his “A Christmas Carol” which is of course quite short but then I moved on to “David Copperfield” mainly because I wanted to see if all the hype around “Demon Copperhead” was warranted and that meant reading the Dickens first. All 900+ pages of it! And soooo many characters. It ticked a box on the BBC list of books too.
And who cannot have read something by Roald Dahl if you have children?
As for 5 stars the one that stands out for me is “All the light we cannot see” by Anthony Doerr which I must get around to watching on the TV as some point.
One that I have read and seen the film of is “Room” by Emma Donoghue.
