Who was the first author you had to read "everything" by?

[karthykat1701]

The first author I had to read everything by was, unforunately, Cathy Cassisdy. I bought ALL her books, which, in retrospect, wasn't a great idea because they weren't that good. Alas, twelve year old me enjoyed the idyllic life of Tanglewood...

[Lela Markham]

Laura Ingalls Wilder was my first "read it all" author, followed closely by Madelaine L'Engle. I think it was because they both wrote "connected" books -- following the same families or characters.

I sort of had this with Enid Blyton. I started reading her books at the age of seven and found once I started a series, I just had to read the rest. But I didn't read all the series.

I would have to say Becca Fitzpatrick! Her hush hush series I love so much. Plus her new book Black Ice kept me on the edge of my seat the entire 2 days! I love her

I was really into Neil Gaiman last summer. I tried to read every book he had written. I also read the Sandman series, which I would recommend.

Junie B Jones

After reading The Da Vinci Code, I quickly devoured the rest of Dan Brown's books. I still continue to grab anything new from this author but none are as good as The Da Vinci Code.

For me, Michael Chrichton. All of his books are engaging and exciting, and even though they're science fiction, they are just realistic enough to be scary. *shiver* My favorites are Timeline, Prey, and of course Jurassic Park and The Lost World.

S.E.. Hinton. After I read The Outsiders in eighth grade I practicality devoured (ands cried through) all of her other books. It also started the wonderful hole of trying to read everything by most authors that I like.

[Hannah-E]

I would say Gertrude Chandler Warner. I loved reading the Boxcar Children books!

Maryann Jordan. She writes about strong sexy men with independant women that always include a few sexy scenes with a bit of suspense to keep the reader on their toes!

The one author I consistently have to purchase their latest book as soon as it is released is anything by Mitch Albom. I fell in love with his story in Tuesday's With Morrie, and I was engrossed with his writing after The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Since then, whenever he releases a new book, I mark the date on my calendar! His writing is accessible to nearly all reading levels, and his stories make you pause and reflect on life after finishing, regardless of if he is writing fiction or non-fiction. For me, Mitch Albom is a must read!

For me, it was Sylvia Day. I just chanced upon Bared To You, and before I knew it, I already read all her stories. Her writing introduced me to the wonderful world of Historical Romance. And so it became my habit, reading everything by: Delilah Marvelle, Shana Galen, Jess Michaels, etc.

From me, that would be Cornelia Funke

I read every Harry Potter book as soon as it came out and I also had to read everything by Sarah Dessen. I think she is still writing new books but as they are written for a youth audience I have somewhat outgrown them now. In adult books I would say I've read through all of Emily Giffin's books and am always looking forward to when a new one comes out as well as I've read most of Jodi Picoult's books.
