Authors to Read When Times Are Tough

Last week my  Read Along With Emilie Richards Facebook Group  agreed that we needed a list of authors to read when times are tough.

Yes, times are tough right now, more so for some of you than others. Depending on circumstances some of you aren’t reading at all, but some of you are finding that reading gives you much needed time to breathe deep and slow.

Need a break from reality?

In times of stress, I do NOT want stressful reading. I want a break from reality, a different world to escape to. I suspect many of you feel that way, too. Our Read Along group always gives recommendations, but at this difficult time in history we decided that having the names of authors we could count on right there in our files was a good idea.

Members had fun listing the authors they felt they could depend on. These authors give them hours of pleasure and a much needed vacation from worry.

Today with our group’s permission and no editing or revising from me, I’m sharing the names we came up with.

I haven’t read all these authors, but look forward to reading more. There are so many wonderful novelists out there, and just because they aren’t listed here doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be great choices to read.

If you’re interested in joining our group, click the link above, ask to join (be sure to answer the two fun questions, that we’ve instituted to weed out spammers) and enjoy not just these names, but the book recommendations that pop up every day.
