Weekly Tête-à-Tête - Automatically Buy/Read

[Shanon]

Do you have authors that you automatically plan on purchasing/reading all of their books as soon as they come out or do you wait for a couple reviews to come in first?

I have a few...
Carla Neggers
Jude Deveraux
Julie Garwood
Debbie Macomber
Nancy Atherton

I only read new hardcovers from the library though as I can't afford $25+ for a single book. I will however, buy anything they've written in paperback and have a sizeable collection.

Oh. I have a lot of autobuys.

JR Ward
Jeaniene Frost
Larissa Ione
Kresley Cole
Lilith Saintcrow
Nalini Singh
Rachel Caine
Maggie Stiefvater
Richelle Mead
Colleen Gleason/Joss Ware
Kim Lenox
Melissa Marr
Keri Arthur
Gena Showalter
Lara Adrian
Suzanne Collins

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, but I know there are more.

See this is what I love about Goodreads, just when I think I am bad along comes someone else who is just as bad as me!!!!! Thanks Jan, I feel better about myself now since I know my author list is probably as long as yours!!!! Although I agree with Briansgirl, I usually borrow the hardcover from the library, but then buy the paperback.

A sampling of those I *have* to buy:

JR Ward
Laurel K Hamilton
Anne Bishop
Keven J Anderson
RA Salvatore
LA Banks

When my book embargo is lifted it will also include:
David (& Leigh) Eddings
Jacqueline Carey
Juliet Marillier
Timothy Zahn
Kate Forsyth
Jennifer Roberson
Rosalind Miles
Kate Elliot
JK Rowling
Rosamunde Pilcher

I'm a big library girl so I don't necesarily buy books unless the wait is too long or the library doesn't carry their book.

Rachel Caine & Kim Harrison are top on my lists. I will also be heading to the bookstore when Patrick Rothfuss publishes the sequel to The Name of The Wind if my library isn't cooperating with me :).

Others include:
Devon Monk
Rhiannon Frater
Patricia Briggs
Jeaniene Frost

There would be a lot more if I had an abundance of money... but alas, I don't, so I have to watch my book money carefully.

[Carolyn F.]

Mine are Eileen Wilks, Patricia Briggs, Laurell Hamilton, Kim Harrison, Jeaniene Frost and Diana Gabaldon. (so far)

I have a few autobuys. Ugh, I don't even want to think about it! They caught me good, LOL!

I LOVE to buy books - there's just something about adding another book (or 10) to my already crowded shelves! I don't go to the library hardly at all anymore...

Patricia Briggs
Kim Harrison
Laurell K Hamilton
Vicki Pettersson
Caitlin Kittredge
Charlaine Harris
