This year I decided to do something a little different. I will be showcasing 3 authors each month. Y’all gave me so many wonderful authors that I wanted to include as many as possible. It meant I had to change completely how I was doing things and let me tell you that was not easy.
Before where I just shared three books and a little about the author wouldn’t work as well now. It would mean the posts would be far too long. So, I shortened it all up just a bit to make sure that things read a little better for y’all.

Lani Lynn Vale
I can’t believe I haven’t showcased Lani Lynn Vale before now! I mean is is one of my all-time favorite authors and I haven’t had her as an author f the month yet. What an oversight on my part.
There are so many books and honestly breaking it down to just four was not easy. I am a huge LLV fan if you didn’t already know. So, I decided to share four of my favorites with you. Each book is linked to my review so you will know how I feel about them.
As I said this is just a very small number of the books that Lani Lynn Vale has written. Pretty much every single month I share her newest book that I always enjoy. She is one of my all time favorite authors.
M.C. Beaton
I haven’t read any of M. C. Beaton’s books as of yet. However, I love the television shows that were created from them if that counts at all. Agatha Raisin is one of my favorite detectives and Hamish Macbeth always makes for an interesting afternoon.
There is a new Agatha Raisin book however, Marion Chesney (a.k.a. M.C. Beaton) died in 2019, but her series has been continued by the author’s good friend, R. W. Green. So that is how the new books are coming out.
The books listed above are now on my to be read list and I went ahead and ordered them. I am very interested in how they different they are from the shows. I am certain I will get hooked on the Agatha Raisin ones.
Diana Gabaldon
If you follow me on either of the blogs you know I love Outlander. I mean the show and the books are both so wonderful. I can’t believe I haven’t featured Diana Gabaldon before now.
Her work is something that many of you already know and love. If you are someone who hasn’t read anything by her then I highly recommend it. While it is a romance there is so much more to it than that. It’s a romance, historical, sci-fi, and fantasy all rolled into one. It is certainly one those series that doesn’t fit into any one genre.
I have read all of these and loved each and every one of them. I love all of her work and when I want to fall into a series and just get lost this is the one that I do it in.
