Have you given up on an author only to come back to them

I read, mainly listen to, crime fiction.

It's the genre l like the most and there's plenty of authors,  and books, to choose from. 

 I recently found a new author Nadine Matheson and wrote a post about her book The Jigsaw Man. I'm also planning to read her next 2 books.

Now l have said before that l don't drive and take public transport.  I also have bad hearing and use hearing aides.  My phone is connected to my aides so l listen to more audiobooks than read these days.

I've just finished The Hallowed Man and it was so good. I love this series and think each book is 5 out of 5 stars. For anyone who doesn't know the Strike series can l suggest you start with The Cuckoos Calling. It won't disappoint.

So l needed another audiobook to listen to. That's when l saw the new J.D Robb book. I have such an ambivalent attitude to J.D. Robb books as l feel the last few weren't as good.  So l decided not read anymore. So what am l listening to now? 

The new J.D.Robb book. I can't help myself.  I have recommended these books to others and there have been some really good books in this series. I'm going to listen to this new one and then make my decision. 

I also can't help going into book shops and browsing.  All those shiny new books.  I saw a new Elizabeth George book. She is still writing the Lnley novels. I've read some of those books and am now tempted to start reading them again. There's also a new Thursday Murder Club book out.

Are you drawn into book shops like me?

Do you say I'm not reading that author anymore only to come back as soon as a new book comes out?

Are you drawn to bookshops like a moth to a flame?

I love the arts as you know and authors, poetry and books are part of that life. 

That part is my bookworm life.
