I've noticed something recently about myself when it comes to reading and I think I might be missing a lot.
When it comes to reading I have my favorite authors and that's what I buy. Every new king book that hits the stand I'm getting. Same thing with David Baldacci (next month one is hitting the rack and can't wait). We all know the feeling. Same goes for Michael Connelly, Ian Lankin, Tana French, Lee Child,James Patterson and John Grisham. And that's pretty much it. Occasionally I will buy a book that is getting a lot of publicity if I like the content like j.k. Rowling trilogy starting with cuckoos calling. Detective trilogy. Or Deborah Harkness trilogy just bc I like reading different takes on vampire books.
So I think I'm limiting myself and probably missing some great reads out there bc I pretty much got the blinders on and at age 43 know what I like and B line to those books.
I went to the book store the other day and I was purposely going there to buy a book from an author I've never read and some different content. I walked away empty handed. I just couldn't tell if the book was any good.
So the advice I'm asking for is some good reads out there that also will widen my horizons. Something different from thriller/suspense catorgory. I typically read fiction but that's just bc that's typically what the authors I like write for the most part.
