I don't understand why people like to shit on authors that recycle some characteristics from one book to another. I'd much rather find a book I like and have a reliable author that I know I'll like their books, than spend hundreds of dollars trying to find another book by the same author that I'll like again. "I spent money in something and I got what I expected" is always better than "I wasted money and was disappointed".
#this!#one of the reasons I love Nora Roberts#and#Susannah Nix#and Jayne Ann Krentz#and so on#they know their genre#they know their specific flavor of characters#and they’re brilliant at writing them#I buy those books BECAUSE I know they’ll have stuff I know I’ll love#and it’ll be comforting and safe#and hella enjoyable#like I love trying new stuff and weird stuff and discovering new favorites#but especially when I’ve been working a lot and writing a lot#I don’t have the mental energy for that stuff most of the time#I always fall back to my favorite authors#I trust their work
