Musing Mondays (Nov.14)

This week’s musing asks…

Are you currently collecting any authors? Why?
Do you have all of their books? If not, why not? 
Did you buy all the books in the collection at the same time, or did you buy a book here, a book there? Have you actually read all of the collection? If not, why not?

I used to do this — collect books by certain authors. But, I don’t so much, any more. I just don’t tend to read from the same genre all at once, ’cause I’m a ‘mood’ reader.

In the past, I collected books by Christian Jacq, ’cause I loved his books that were set in Ancient Egypt. He writes very well, too. But then my interests changed, so I stopped reading those, and haven’t finished reading the series’ that I’d collected. I have his “Ramses” series (5 books), his “Stone of Light” series (4 books), and his “Queen of Freedom” trilogy.

I also collected most of Kathy Reich’s “Bone” series (character Temperance Brennan), but haven’t read more than book 1. I have about 8 of the books in the series, though, and do still hope to get to the rest, some day.

I still tend to collect books by author Gaelen Foley, ’cause I still love to read her books (romances set in Regency England). But, I don’t read those as often as I used to, either. Doesn’t stop me from buying the books, though — I love Gaelen’s writing. I have all but maybe 3 of the books she’s written.

I also have a bunch of Anne Perry mysteries hanging around… I was given them in a box of books. I’ve listened to one (audiobook) from the library, and it was good, so that’s why I kept the books that I was given with hopes of reading them, eventually.

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your answer in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks!
