In 2016 I read several new-to-me authors along with my standby favorites. Not all their books were new releases; several were older.
Today I want to share twelve authors with you that I enjoyed last year. The list is a mix of contemporary and historical romance genres because I read both, though two books are not romances: the first and the last. Most of the authors are women except, yes, the first and the last.
This is by no means a comprehensive list of authors I enjoy, nor is it more than a sampling of the dozens of books I read during the year. There are many more because, as an author, when I’m not writing, wrangling words with my creative-writing students at the college, or traipsing back roads with Blue the Cow Dog, I’m reading.
I hope you’ll find a few new-to-you books in this pile for the coming year.
Happy reading!
Randomly listed in no particular order of enjoyment:
- Louis L’Amour – Ride the River

Thirty daily devotions for women to start off the new year.
I’ve read a few of these, but I’ve read Courting Morrow Little at least 16 times. It’s a lesson in the use of inner and outer conflict to build tension and character. And I LOVE the story!!
Thank you for the list1
Jennifer, it was your mention of Morrow Little that prompted me to read it … and I was captivated! Thanks for stopping by.
