The following is a little table that I created. The table shows the number of books I read from various authors between 2000-2013. The core authors of the Branches of my reading tree and the ones in bold more information start with the Featured Artist page. The authors whose work I am still reading are labeled as Branches-Leaves, Several artist whose work was read in both eras as list as Roots-Branches.
Links are provided to each existing author page. As I fully develop this site I will be providing author pages for authors that i have read more than 5 books.
In the future I may be providing pages for authors whose books should have been read and books are sitting on my TBR shelves!
C J. Box is one of the pillars of my Branches Era reading. Box’s books in 2005 with Savage Run the second Joe Pickett book and I haven’t stopped since! The nly book I missed was Cold Wind somehow it went back to the library before I fininshed it!
In started reading Stuart Kaminsky’s Porfiry Rostnikov books in my roots era. I read them well i the Branches Era
