My pattern is very linear, I discover an author then read absolutely everything they’ve ever written.
I do THIS❣️ hehe ... As a kid during Junior Primary... I don't think I ever managed to get through the whole of Enid Blyton...but I made a valiant effort after The Famous Five haha. I remember doing the same at Senior Primary with Willard Price's Adventure series. I also consumed The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Secret 7...gosh...all adventure/mystery tales. Then when I was older I read all of Richard Bach's books - he combined his love for flight as a pilot with spirituality. I found him profound at a young age. I also discovered Shirley Maclaine as an author whilst at University (who knew she wrote alongside her acting career) and proceeded to devour everyone that she had written too...it's like the longest autobiography that covers every aspect of her life. Fascinating, deep, spiritual. Jodi Picoult and similar authors are my go-to's for a GOOD lighter fiction read. The books that really touched my heart were primarily individual books, although some would be included in the aforementioned - I'll speak of those when I do the winners post 😉💞 ....aah now I just want to do the winner's post already !LOLZ I have some gems from my childhood that I have collected and some from adulthood. Can you believe I have never read Fowles...I have to get on that!!! and your other recommendations... thank you💗

@itsostylish, I sent you an $LOLZ on behalf of @samsmith1971
Use the !LOL or !LOLZ command to share a joke and an $LOLZ. (1/4)
Also, Lecarre (Smiley’s People).
Do try Fowles, but I must warn you that my glowing devotion was born in my 20’s...I don’t know how they would resonate with me today????
Also South African author David Lambkin’s The Hanging Tree
These days I don’t read as much as I used to. My mother, however, is ferocious; consuming 3-4 books per week...thank goodness for Scribd and Kindle Unlimited.
I read every book on your kiddy list too, often at my mother’s knee, when I was a kid. She’s a great inspiration.
❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕💕💕
I will tread with caution 😂🤣
I have some lovely childhood books that I have gone out as an adult and purchased because of the impact they had on me as a child...can't wait to share them too!
Your mother is ....ferocious with books hahahaha ...you chose the best word! That's incredible, truly❣️
I will be looking all of these books up after the contest finishes and popping the ones that appeal onto my kindle 👏
