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.
- Xarissa Diana
Hands up who thought I'd have to be creative with this letter?
Well not creative exactly but I did seek out an author beginning with the letter X when I was planning for this challenge as I didn't have one.
There are actually lots of authors starting with X, many of which are Chinese. I went for Diana Xarissa who is American. I chose Aunt Bessie Assumes, a very cozy crime story featuring, yes you've guessed it, Aunt Bessie and set on the Isle of Man. Aunt Bessie stumbles across 2 dead bodies in short succession which is surprising given that the Isle of Man, which lies between Ireland and the UK, is only 221 square miles in area and has a population of just over 84,000.
In fact, Aunt Bessie features in her own A-Z series and she's also tackled cold cases. If you thought that small island, famous for its TT race was a safe place to live, maybe think again lol.
Turns out Diana has self published over 100 books! Unfortunately one was enough for me.
Do you have an author that you've read but would never read again?
