Anne | 308 comments I will be reading Escape to London by Mary Jane Staples.
I have read many books by this author about the Adams family. One I read last year was Family Fortunes.
I recommend Donna Douglas, Rebecca Tope, Miss Read, and Adriana Trigiani, they all write series of books and all are very different in their contents.

1. What are you reading for this category? While We Were Dating
2. What book did you previously read by this author? Which did you like more? She's written 6 books in 5 years so in one way this might not be my favorite, but like how the last place you travelled to is your favorite, ditto with her books. Looking at my GR ratings, Party of Two is my favorite)
3. What authors do you recommend for people looking to read a few books by the same author? Authors who do series are always good

Unless, like others said, I read something in the next two months that changes my plan!"

TJR published a new one this year, Malibu Rising, and I was lucky enough to get it from NetGalley. I loved it! Not quite as much as Evelyn Hugo or Daisy Jones, but if you liked those, you'll like this one. Mick Riva, one of Evelyn's husband, is the focus of the story.

For this one I have read Fantastic Beasts - The Crimes of Grindelwald: The Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling.

2. What book did you previously read by this author? Which did you like more?
Last year my favourite book was Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling.
I enjoyed both, but Crimes of Grindelwald was more exciting.
