9 Authors I Always Read – No Matter What They Publish
Some authors become instant favourites. You see their name on a cover and you don’t even need to read the blurb — you just know you’ll pick it up.
In this episode of A Life in Chapters, I’m sharing nine authors I always read, no matter what they publish. From the emotional depth of Maggie O’Farrell to the puzzles of Anthony Horowitz, the comfort of Richard Osman, the atmosphere of Donna Tartt, and more — this is my eclectic list of trusted writers.
Along the way, I’ll talk about the themes that connect them, why we’re drawn to certain authors over and over, and what our “always read” list says about us as readers.
I’d love to know yours, too. You can share your list with me over on Patreon, where there’s a public post waiting for your favourite authors — and if you’d like to go deeper, this month’s Clarity Audio is all about The Power of Small Shifts.
