How did you discover your favorite author?


I need to post about something happy today.  I will update about Ashleigh & the boys later tonight or tomorrow.  It was a bad couple days.

Here is my topic today: 

How did you discover your favorite author? 

My favorite author is Susan Mallery.  I discovered her through one of my libraries' e-books sites.  I was looking for a e-book to read & I saw one of her books.  I read the description.  Back then, I had my Nook.  I put it on my Nook & I was glued to it.  The first book I read of Susan Mallery was Under Her Skin.  It is from the Lone Star Sister Series.  I fell in love with Susan Mallery's writing & this series.

Then, discovered Susan's Fool's Gold series.  This is my favorite series.  It is the best!!  It has 13 books in it, but the last 3 is not out until next summer.  There is time to catch up!  ;)  I love it because it is set in a town called Fool's Gold, CA where everyone in the town helps one other.  It is centered around a family, who we learned about in each book.

I have read more than these 2 series by Susan Mallery.  I love the Bakery Sisters, Buchanans, Los Lobos, & Blackberry Island Series.  It is another great series to read.  Accidently Yours, Full Time Father, One in a Million, & There's Always a Plan B.  Right now I am reading Already Home about Jenna, who is divorce, she returns home, & opens a store.

How did you discover your favorite author? I would love to know.
