It's always nice to discover new authors and their stories. Of the 110 books I read in 2013, 67 were by 63 authors that were new to me. I'd be happy to read other books by just about all of them and no doubt will over time.

Rob - You really have quite a list here! Very well done!
I have my work cut out for me with this reading list. I recently introduced Scott Montgomery (MysteryPeople, Book People) to The View from the Blue House and he complimented you on your excellent taste!
