Auto Buys-- Authors I will buy without reading the blurb and will always buy new:
- Mary Balogh
- Marsha Canham
- Liz Carlyle
- Jane Feather (getting close to being on the "used to be..." list)
- Diana Gabaldon (the only one I buy in hard cover)
- Juliana Garnett
- Linda Howard
- Madeline Hunter
- Eloisa James
- Laura Kinsale
- Maggie Osborne (I know she's retired, but I can still hope)
- Susan Elizabeth Phillips (may end up on the "almost..." list)
- Candice Proctor
- Julia Quinn
- Nora Roberts (what can I say--she's a comfort read)
Almost Auto Buys--Authors I buy after I read the blurb, occasionally I'll pass on what's new and wait for it to be used:
- Jane Ashford (not a lot of books out there, but I like her writing style)
- Adele Ashworth
- Elizabeth Chadwick (I forget to look for her books, but I always enjoy them and there hard to find new or used)
- Katherine Deauxville
- Rachel Gibson
- Lisa Kleypas
- Karen Ranney
- Karen Robards
- Anne Stuart
- Joan Wolf (if she continues to only write contemporaries, she'll be moved to the "used to be..." list)
Used to be an Auto Buy--Authors I occasionally buy used or have absolutely given up on:
- Jo Beverly
- Suzanne Brockmann (current series got old fast for me)
- Sandra Brown
- Catherine Coulter
- Jude Deveraux
- Janet Evanovich (tired of Stephanie Plum and wont read the romances)
- Julie Garwood ( I think I out grew her writing style, though I still get her books used)
- Susan Johnson (I liked her old historicals with all the footnotes)
- Brenda Joyce (eek--her contemporaries are horrible)
- Katherine Kingsley
- Jayne Ann Krentz/Amanda Quick... (tired of the same book over and over again)
- Stephanie Laurens
- Elizabeth Lowell
- Pamela Morsi (love her historicals, wish she was still writing them and not contemporaries)
- Mary Jo Putney
- JD Robb
- Kathleen Woodiwiss
I was going to be obnoxious and do a list of the "Just Shoot Me If I Ever Buy Them Again", but decided that was rude, even if it is my blog.
Have a great day, and happy reading.

I know - come back Pamela Morsi, come back!
I also feel this way about Susan Wiggs. Love her historicals, cannot get into her contemporaries.
And I love the new look!
Love the new look, Tara!
Tara:
The new design is gorgeous...I don't buy new, but I do have some authors I read everything of, even though (Amanda Quick, cough, cough) I know what to expect. Somehow I just can't stop myself. There are a couple I will never read again, too, no matter how rave the reviews.
ohhhhh
I must do lists. I like! And I would so make Elizabeth Lowell an auto buy again if she would do westerns or historicals again.
I have never read Pamela Morsi
