It has been a while since I participated in the Book Blogger Hop. Jennifer has added a new "question of the week" feature since I last hopped.
This week's question is: "Who is your favorite new-to-you author so far this year?"
My answer is A. J. Cronin. That's kind of a funny answer, since Cronin published his first novel in 1931 and his last in 1978. So he is definitely not a new author -- just new to me. I read Three Loves this February and reviewed it here. I enjoyed it so much that I added Cronin to my list of authors whose works I plan to read in their entirety, or as close to it as I can manage.
Happy Hopping!
Hi, just hopping by to check out your new author pick. I feel the same way:) My choice is Edith Wharton!!
ReplyDeleteI have so much to catch up on!!!
Visiting via the hop...have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like I need to read some of A. J. Cronin's work. I hope your life slows down soon.
ReplyDeleteA J Cronin is new to me so I will note it down. My current one is Dorje Yudon Yuthok since I'm reading her biography House of the Turquoise Roof. Hopped from the Friday Blog Party. Bring your villain over to Aisle B. I'll be revealing my villain before the night is through ;O

I haven't read Three Loves yet. I'll have to track a copy down. Your Cronin books look lovely, mine are all odd editions picked up here and there. You're doing a great job making Cronin's work more widely known.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! I love your blog!
