A READER'S BLISS

We readers like our books. We like our stories, we like finding bits of quiet time, and we might occasionally like a bath full of warm water AND a book. We definitely like finding new authors we love.

But for me, there's no reader's bliss like discovering a "new" author with a backlist. Oh the joy! For a picky reader, this can be sheer bliss. Sometimes in the past, I've discovered a "new" author only to be let down by the backlist. But sometimes, less than once in a blue moon, the backlist doesn't disappoint.

This happened to me over the holidays (author Kristan Higgins) and I've been happily reading her backlist ever since. Six good books in a row. Color me happy!

What's your Reader's Bliss?

PS Kristan Higgins is not a CBA author. I would put a PG13 rating on her books.

Thanks for the rating, Denise. I appreciate that. My bliss is a series of great books read all at once. I hate waiting for the release dates so I'm saving them up (like Colleen's Lighthouse series, I won't read it until I have them all!!)

You're more patient than I am, Suzanne! Cheryl, the books are 1st person. Some people don't like that, but she does it very well. Reminds me a lot of Kristin's voice.

The same as yours. I love it when I find an author I like and don't have to wait another year for the next book. :)

I think my favorite reader's bliss is opening for the first time a new book. Any new book will do. It is the excitement of seeing where the author is going to take me 'today.' What adventures are we going to have together? What fun places will we visit?
Oh the excitement of the places we will go.
