Nice to peek at bestsellers at the library, just to see what the writing is like. The last really awful, unreadable book I remember scanning was Left Behind by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins.
Here's one of the reasons to follow a wide variety of authors. I've never read Barbara Kingsolver's books, but would like to. She's so personable. Perhaps I'll start with this new novel in 2022.
Another imminently likeable author that I have read is Kate Quinn, of the excellent novel The Rose Code (among others). Here are her favorite 21 books read in 2021.
