Will Storr. A "Loaded" journalist who writes books, his debut book "Will Storr vs the Supernatural" about his paranormal investigations absolutely fascinated me.
Anne Bronte. Everyone remembers Charlotte and Emily, but Anne is only just starting to be noticed, despite the fact that her two novels were worthy of the Bronte canon.
Gavin Maxwell. I first discovered him when reading his biography, but loved his "Ring of Bright Water" series and also his travel books.
And I would have to include myself in this, of course. Since I've mentioned supernatural writing, I'd like to draw your attention to "I Heard Your Voice".
Tamar
Steele’s life was never supposed to be like this. A sensitive working with a
team of paranormal investigators, she is trapped in a loveless relationship
with the team’s medium, Reed James, who believes that having sex on haunted
ground enhances paranormal activity. Tamar maintains their partnership for the
sake of the crew, forcing herself to ignore the burgeoning sexual tension
between her and fellow investigator Jason Bray.
Until one
night when, alone and bored, Tamar sings to herself and is knocked to the
ground by an invisible force. Somehow she is able to invoke spirits with the
power of her voice. And one particular sexy, matchmaking spirit is determined
to turn her life upside down.
So who would you like more people to read?
I've heard of Anne Bronte, but I'm a little embarrassed to admit I've never read anything from her. Which book of hers do you recommend reading first?
ReplyDeleteMy post.
"The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" is her best one, I think. It has more emotional range.
DeleteI'm with Lydia ... I thought I had read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (the title was familiar) but reading the blurb, it doesn't ring a bell.
ReplyDeleteGood choices all! My post is live here.
It's her best, I think. "Agnes Grey" is more restrained.
DeleteOkay, I'm going to have to check out Will Storr just because of the book you mentioned. Great list!
ReplyDeleteHe's written some good ones, but that's his best.
DeleteI am a fan of all the Bronte's, including Anne. Amazing books! Also, I love the cover of I Heard Your Voice! It sounds like something I'll enjoy reading! Adding it to my TBR list! :)
ReplyDeleteIf you like paranormals it's worth a shot!
DeleteGood list. I've read the other Brontes. Must check Anne out.
ReplyDeleteI'm unusual in that I never liked Charlotte much. I definitely prefer Anne.
DeleteWell, the prompt seems to be working, since aside from Anne Bronte and yourself, I'm not familiar with the authors on your list -- and they sound really interesting.
ReplyDeleteMy list is here
Will Storr and Gavin Maxwell are definitely worth a look.
