Good evening all and welcome to another Tuesday.. This week's topic to which I must turn my thoughts is authors who I'd like more from.... the easy route here, as a reader who loves the classics, would be to go down that route! Who wouldn't want to see Jane Austen's take on social media? Or Mary Shelley's imagination spliced with our AI technologies! Dickens' response to the cost-of-living crises... It is quite scary to imagine how similar some of our concerns are to theirs, how little the world has progressed in some ways. But let us turn our thoughts to contemporary writers instead, those whose books I love but from whom I have heard very little recently. Of course, the fact that I have not been aware of them may not mean that they have stopped writing; it may reflect more on my not being up to date!

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018.
