- Suzanne Collins

Great question! Let’s see… Kristin Cashore is a big one, as is Ellen Booraem. (I can’t wait for her next book!) John Scalzi was already on my radar, but bloggers piqued my interest in his work. I read Juliet Marillier, Donna Tartt, Anne Bishop and Glen David Gold due to bloggers’ recommendations, and I loved the lot.
Other great authors I’ve “met” through blogging include Tom Holland, Martin Millar, James Bow, Mary Ann Schaffer & Annie Barrows, John Green, and Michelle Scott.

You’ve got some great sounding authors among that list!
John Scalzi comes to mind. Oh, and The Thirteenth Tale. That’s a good example for me. What typically happens (for me) is that it is through book challenges that I come to discover new-to-me authors. Especially Carl’s challenges. I start looking at other people’s “pools” — they don’t even have to be book reviews, and before I know it, I’ve got thirty books checked out from the library based on me envying other people’s books.

I’ve heard such good things about The Thirteenth Tale!
And looking though the book pools for Carl’s challenges is always a risky business!
There are a couple on your list that would make mine too: Scott Westerfeld and Orson Scott Card. I would also have to list Suzanne Collins and Philippa Gregory.

Right now I am all about Patrick Ness, but also Douglas Coupland, Shirley Jackson (I mean I knew about her – but book blogs were the reason I read her books) and most definitely Sarah Waters. And others – those are just my most best favorites.

I’m just about to start TKONLG, my first Patrick Ness.
Those are all new to me too….except for OSC :p I’ve been reading him for a little while now :p My favorite author that I discovered through blogging has to be Charles de Lint! I don’t even remember who introduced me to him (maybe Carl?) but I can’t thank that person enough!!

Charles de Lint is the one author, I’ve discovered through blogging that I wish I liked better than I do.
