READ TO 0 PROJECT || 6 authors I'd like to read to zero

[@kimhoot2044]

I'm curious about how many reading projects you have going: Authors to read to zero, Newbery winners, recommendations cart, book exchange, patron recs, Christian NF read alongs, buzz words, alphabet… Maybe when you do your next goals check-in, you could touch on this subject? Thanks for the video. I think I've read a couple of classic authors to zero if you limit it to their published works, not juvenilia or letters etc. Except for a short Amazon exclusive, I think I've read all of Andy Weir.

[@louisesanto-dontaddnumber]

I'm curious as well. I get so confused as to which projects she's obtained her goal.

[@BooksAndJams]

I can definitely touch base about the challenges I have going. I already created a spreadsheet for this one so I can easily keep track. haha. I have loved some Andy Weir, but don't really want to read Artemis, so he's not on my list.

[@sandyokey7728]

You have some of the best projects!

[@BooksAndJams]

Thanks! It's fun to have an excuse to make another spreadsheet! haha

[@soozie4him308]

Have you read anything by Diane Chamberlain? I really like her books and during the pandemic, one of my grown daughters and I read a bunch of her books, about 7 each. Our favorite of hers was Necessary Lies. All her books take place in North Carolina.

[@BooksAndJams]

I love Diane Chamberlain's newer stuff. I read one backlist and didn't like it as much, so she's not on my list. Necessary Lies was so good! I think Dream Daughter (which was my first) is still my favorite.

[@RobinReads]

I love this project idea! That’s a great stack of authors to get through. Fredrik Backman and Silvia Moreno Garcia are definitely two of the authors who I want to read their entire backlist

[@TheChronicReader]

Silvia Moreno Garcia is an author I want to read to zero too!

[@BooksAndJams]

Love it. Once I get thinking about it I could probably add a few more authors to this list. It's fun to have a challenge to work on.

[@Readingindarknesss]

The rose garden sounds fun!! I’ve been wanting to read her books!

[@BooksAndJams]

You should try one out! Rose Garden was my first Kearsley book.

[@tammyd4208]

Hi Krista! Great goal! Added Hazel Gaynor and Jaimie Jo Wright to my TBR. I found a signed copy of Anxious People by Fredrik Backman at a library sale recently! I was so excited. 😊

[@BooksAndJams]

Thanks, Tammy. What a great find! How fun.

[@pamgossett6085]

I have read Rosemunde Pilcher to zero.

[@BooksAndJams]

Nice. I just looked her up. She has quite a few. And used to write as Jane Fraser. Did you read those as well?

[@lizziefayelovesbooks]

Great idea for a project! I haven't read most of the authors you mentioned, only Fredrik Backman. I've read a few to zero and a couple of others that have had some published since I read them. I've finished Jan Karon, Fannie Flagg, Ann B. Ross, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and almost Donna VanLiere and Lucy Maud Montgomery(they keep finding lost writings and I haven't kept up).😅

[@BooksAndJams]

Oh man. I should add LMM to this list. There are more than I think though. Maybe if I just start with her full novels and not the short stories I can do it. Hmm....

[@lizziefayelovesbooks]

@@BooksAndJams Yes, there are just 5 standalones and 4 series including the duologies. It's the short story collections that get you.

[@TheChronicReader]

Great project idea!! I’ll have to plan something similar for my reading next year.😀

[@BooksAndJams]

I think I will make it part of my goals for next year too. I did make a spreadsheet already so I can track it. AND added a few more authors! haha.

[@hsmom3120]

I've read Katherine Reay to zero and eagerly await her new releases each time another is in the works. Spring can't come some enough!

[@BooksAndJams]

Sweet! I am glad you've liked her books. I am excited to read her two most recent. The last I've read is The London House, but I have 2 backlist to read too.

[@hsmom3120]

The next two are more historical and I can't wait to hear what you think of them.

[@von20808]

I’ve read all of Sidney Sheldon’s books. He was a very good writer and some of his movies books were made into tv movies.

[@BooksAndJams]

Amazing! There are a ton, right?

[@susanfryman5156]

I’ve been thinking about this for several months. Coming up with a list of authors I want to read to zero. Your list was interesting. I even had a few of the same authors on my list. Looking forward to seeing your progress on this project. Have a great weekend.

[@BooksAndJams]

Ooo I'm curious what other authors you would like to read to 0.

[@bytesofmemory]

ohhhh LOVED The Berlin Letters!! SO GOOD!! It was my first of hers. Look forward to seeing how these go!

[@BooksAndJams]

I'm so glad to hear that!

[@sassykassispages]

Love this idea 😊

[@BooksAndJams]

Thank you! 😊

[@CafeCynthia]

You're going to LOVE Making Faces! I've read it and reread it many times! This is a great idea and video, such great S authors mentioned!

[@bnbbowen1]

Agreed. Making Faces is incredible.

[@BooksAndJams]

I'm so glad to hear that!

[@lindadashner9205]

i am trying to read louise penny. have you tried her? i love her books!

[@BooksAndJams]

I do love Louise Penny. I think I'm on book 12 or 13. I am taking my sweet time!

[@Bookworm_Bron]

What a great idea, Krista!! I’ve read all of Kate Morton (7 books) and Jane Harper (5 books). I’m working on reading all of Sally Hepworth’s books now - I’ve read 3 out of 9. Keep us up with your progress, I get so many wonderful book suggestions from you!!

[@BooksAndJams]

Ooo Kate Morton is a good one. I have just a couple left of hers.

[@eileennielsen5165]

Hazel Gaynor is one of my top favorite authors. A very, very long time ago, I read my first book by her; A Memory Of Violets. I will never forget it. To this day I think about it. I have or have read all of her bks. you mentioned. I would like to finish reading the ones I haven't Want to re-read A Memory of Violets and The Lighthouse Keepers Daughter. Also want to read all of Rosamunde Pilcher's bks. I have a few Louisa May Alcott's left to read(she wrote many). Did you ever get to see her house in Concord when you lived in Massachusetts? That was so interesting to find out. I remember Foxboro, vaguely, but do remember. Mary Stewart, Barbara Pym, LOTS others. Thanks Krista, this was fun!

[@BooksAndJams]

I'm so glad to read your comment. I still have to read A Memory of Violets. Thrilled that you loved it. I loved the Alcott house. It is still one of the best house tours I've ever done!

[@andrearyan816]

I would be surprised if anyone has read Nora Roberts or Danielle Steel to zero 😮

[@BooksAndJams]

haha. Seriously. That would be quite an achievement!

[@marianacaffaro]

Joanne Harris, Kate Atkinson, Niña George, Penina Keen Spinka.

[@BooksAndJams]

I see your reading taste runs a bit more literary than mine. I am not familiar with the last author you mentioned.

[@paperbacksandponytails]

Jaime Jo Wright is also on my read to 0 list, so if there are any crossovers we can buddy read😂. Bonaventure Circus is on my list if you want to buddy read it.

[@BooksAndJams]

I am eager to read more from JJW. I think I haven't picked one up since last fall. I do have a buddy already for Bonaventure Circus but we can do another one for sure.

[@heatherdegreeff1092]

What is your favourite Fredrick Bachman book? I read probably 75% of Beartown then DNF'd it. I loved the first half, then it just got too heavy for me, but i was very entertained by the writing style. Im interested in Anxious People, and one something about a grandma? Can't remember the long title!

[@BooksAndJams]

I love Backman. A Man Called Ove was my first so it has a soft spot for me. I do love the Beartown books, but can understand why they're not for everyone. Anxious People is probably my least favorite. My Grandmother...was an interesting one. I ended up loving it, but took me a while to get into it.

[@Readingindarknesss]

I love hazel gaynor! Haven’t heard about the book about fairies though. Sounds fun!!

[@BooksAndJams]

I am hoping Cottingley secret is a good one!

[@GloriaZThompson]

Amy Harmon is on my list too! Although, I am nervous about her older titles... I think you'll enjoy Making Faces!

[@BooksAndJams]

Yeah, I am hopeful that I'll like her contemporary, but we'll see. I'm ok changing my mind on any of these authors too. It's fun to have a challenge, but they're not set in stone. I have high hopes for Making Faces.

[@CozybooksandCrochet]

Hello Krista! I used to read all James Patterson Women Murder Mysteries, J.D.Robb In Death series, and Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series. I used to listen to them on audio. Now my interest has changed to Rhys Bowen Royal Spyness and Emily Brightwell Mrs. Jeffries series. I would like to read Victoria Thompson Gaslight series but she is very popular since she has passed.

[@BooksAndJams]

It's fun to have a series like those to work on. Love it.

[@rebecca_is_book-hooked]

Have you read everything by Kristin Hannah? I’m working on Agatha Christie, but that’s long-term. I’ve been reading 1 per month of hers. I’ve read all of Austen’s completed novels, but there’s a novella and some short stories I need to get to.

[@BooksAndJams]

I have read a bunch of Kristin Hannah, but not all. I don't really want to read all her contemporary books and actually just unhauled a handful of them off my shelves. Reading all of Christie's books would be quite an accomplishment!

[@JacquelineCaron]

Enjoyed this video -- I am definitely a reader that will seek out everything an author has written when I find a book I really enjoyed. Susanna Kearsley, Hazel Gaynor and Amy Harmon being on my list too. I really enjoyed Mariana - read it very long ago but it was a good one. Love the settings her stories take place in. Susan Meissner and Julie Klassen would be others I'd like to read to zero. Great to have these piles of possibilities - good work! 😊

[@BooksAndJams]

Susan Meissner has a surprisingly long backlist. I love her stuff, but don't really care to read all the older ones. I would like to read another Julie Klassen one of these days. I have quite a few on my shelves.

[@mitzireadsandwrites]

I have a couple of Katherine Reay and never read any!! I need to get to that! I really think I'd love her, too. I do love Jaime Jo Wright and have a few of hers left as well. Do you want to buddy read the Haunting Circus one? I have it and October is the perfect time for her books.

[@BooksAndJams]

I don't LOVE Katherine Reay, but have enjoyed them. It's just fun to think of completing an author's work! Let's definitely buddy read Haunting at Bonaventure Circus. We can be scared together! haha.

[@jayoz15]

Ohhh this is tough especially when authors have a large catalogue or branch into different genres! I think for me my read to 0 author would be Julia Quinn. I think I have 10 left (if I exclude anthologies). Seems like a lot but already knocked off 23! 😲

[@BooksAndJams]

That's amazing. Yeah, some authors I'd love to read a bunch more, but don't have interest in some of the back-back list. Good luck finishing up all of Julia Quinn's books.

[@alannaangel1447]

I have read Fredrik Backman down to zero. The Winners is the perfect ending to the Beartown trilogy. Did you hear that Backman has a new book coming out in 2025? It's titled My Friends and releases in the US in June 2025. :) I am on a mission to read through all of Barbara Kingsolver's books! I love her fiction and her nonfiction. I really enjoy your channel! Happy reading!

[@BooksAndJams]

I just finished the Winners yesterday. 😭 It was just so good!

[@MoniquetheBookGeek]

I got so excited to see Jamie Jo Wright come up on your Read to 0 list, Krista! She's one of my all-time favorite authors and people, and she's at the top of my Read to 0 list. 😊

[@BooksAndJams]

Yeah she's great. Perfect for this time of year too! Good luck reading them all. How many do you have left?

[@MoniquetheBookGeek]

@@BooksAndJams - I believe I've read 4 of her books so far, so 7 to go, 8 when "Specters in the Glass House" comes out next month, which I've pre-ordered. Having acquired all of her books as they've come out, I feel SO guilty for not getting to them sooner and need to make this a priority. My plan is to be caught up by the time "Tempest at Annabel's Lighthouse" comes out in April.

[@MoniquetheBookGeek]

@@BooksAndJams - With "The Vanishing at Castle Moreau" and "The Lost Boys of Barlowe Theater" being 2 of the 3 finalists for the 2024 Christy Award for best Mystery/Suspense/Thriller... I'd like to read these by the time the winner is announced on November 14th.

[@Coffee_and_a_Book]

I don't usually make it a point to read an author to zero, but I understand why a lot of people do. The only author I think I've read to zero is Sarah Dessen, which was not entirely on purpose. In college, I did decide to read her entire backlist, and then would eventually get around to reading her newer books, even though I wasn't specifically focused on reading everything she published. I probably wouldn't pick up any of her new books because YA contemporary doesn't interest me anymore, but she also hasn't released any new ones since 2019. Nadine Brandes and Kate Morton are two I would like to read to zero. I have 3 of Brandes' left and 2 of Morton's, for now. Good luck with all of your picks!

[@BooksAndJams]

Thanks. Yeah, there is no pressure to do it, but it's a fun challenge.

[@hulda2002]

Read everything by Arnaldur Indridason, Icelandic crime writing author, he's been translated into many languages

[@BooksAndJams]

Nice. I am looking forward to saying I've read everything by .... some author! We'll see who will get there first.

[@bookwalk1]

I've read books by all these authors, except Katherine Reay. I just bought the digital copy of The Haunting at Bonaventure Circus, which looks so good! I want to read more by the other authors you named. They are all ones I greatly enjoy! Thanks for the recs. I don't think there are any authors I have read all of their books. Probably the one I have read the most of is Agatha Christie, maybe 30 of hers. I don't like all her series, such as Miss Marple, but I really enjoy Hercule Point. I have one author, J. D. Robb, aka Nora Roberts, I have read six of, that has written more than 50 in the series, so I doubt I will ever read all of them. I've read almost all of Rhys Bowen's Her Royal Spyness series. which is a cozy mystery series that is hilarious and wonderful on audiobook. I've read some of her other books that are historical fiction as well. She is a good author, you might like. Another author of historical mystery you might like is Jacqueline Winspear. She is just finishing the book that will end the Maise Dobbs series, which will have 19 books at its conclusion.

[@BooksAndJams]

Give him a try for sure! I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love his books.

[@sblbooks]

I love Hazel Gaynor, (I have not read your choice yet) Amy Harmon (Making Faces was excellent) and Susannah Kearsley. (Mariana was a 4 Star, I read it so long ago it's hard to remember details)

[@BooksAndJams]

Glad to hear you enjoyed Making Faces. I'm looking forward to trying one of Harmon's contemporary books.

[@stargater2892]

Hi Krista. I have 4 authors that have been on my 2024 TBR. Traci Hall x1, Alan Hlad x2, Guy Morris x2, and Margaret Pinard x2. (Of note, I like how you mentioned checking on this goal next year. I've found not all goals have to start on Jan 1st.) Think about you when I pull up NetGalley.

[@BooksAndJams]

Haha. I am making good progress on reading Netgalley books, but not such good progress on writing reviews. I need to get on that! I think I have 19 to write! YIKES!!! Maybe that needs to be a focus of some upcoming sprints. Thanks for checking in.

[@JulieSmilingShelves]

I love Katherine Reay's contemporary books! I haven't read any of her historicals yet, but they're on my list!

I didn't absolutely love The London House, but I think it was her first historical. I'm hopeful for The Berlin Letters and Shadow in Moscow. We shall see.

[@katsnoveladventures1863]

I love this reading project, Krista. I thought about doing one; maybe next year. There are quite a few authors I’d like to read to zero with Stephen King being at the top of my list. 😊

[@BooksAndJams]

I don't know how long it will take me, but it's fun to have a list! haha. I started a spreadsheet.

[@agohl85]

I have a few authors I've read to zero and then several authors that I'm like 1 or 2 books away from reading to zero. Some because they've only written a few books so far and some just because I love them and binged them until I finished all of their books. I don't necessarily make a project of it, I just tend to keep reading an author that I really love until I finish them up and then go looking for the next author that I love that much. I think over the last two years, I finished like 40 books of one author just because I got hooked and binged them until I finished them.

[@BooksAndJams]

OH man. You didn't say which authors! haha. I'm so curious.

[@agohl85]

@@BooksAndJamsoff the top of my head, I know I’ve read Dee Henderson, Elisa Rae, and R.E. Scott to zero, and I’m one or two books away from reading K.M. Shea and Tara Grayce to zero. I’ve been on a bit of a fantasy kick the last couple years and I really like that these authors (except for Dee Henderson of course who isn’t a fantasy writer) are clean fantasy authors. I think there are a few others but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head :)

[@jenniferm.2142]

I believe I’ve read everything by Grady Hendrix, Ruth Ware, and Riley Sager (at least under this pen name). My favorite thriller authors. I loosely aim to read all of Stephen King and Agatha Christie as well, although they’re both so prolific that it might not be possible. 😂 I’d have to think on which other authors I’d like to read to zero. I have nearly read everything by Rainbow Rowell, Blake Crouch, and Karina Yan Glaser. I didn’t have a specific thought to read all of those ones, but I do tend to like their writing so have just tended to pick up their books.

[@BooksAndJams]

Agatha Christie would be quite the project. A fun one though.

I don't have many authors I have read to zero. For example, I have read all of Georgette Heyer's romances and detective novels, but not her straight historical novels. I've read all of Agatha Christie's novels and short stories but not her autobiographies. I commend you for doing this project! I will be very interested to see how it goes.

[@BooksAndJams]

Nice. It's quite an achievement that you've read all of Agatha Christie's mysteries! That's amazing.

[@pattirose54]

I have read everything by Jan Karon and Sarah Addison Allen. I believe Ms Karon is no longer writing but Sarah has a new one in the works. When I was a teenager, I read all of Victoria Holt’s books. That was a loooong time ago☺

[@BooksAndJams]

Ooo Sarah Addison Allen is another author I'd love to read all her books.

[@sassycatz4470]

Mariana is a really good book. I don't know if it's Kearsley's debut novel. There might have been one before that. She has also written under the name Emma Cole. As for reading an author's entire catalogue, the only time I've ever done that is when the author hasn't written much. LOL! Not a fast reader.

[@BooksAndJams]

I didn't know she wrote under a different name. Yes, I think Undertow is actually her first...at least as Susanna Kearsley.

[@susannels4884]

Love Hazel Gaynor. Hoping to read all of hers. Haven't heard of that one but sounds good! Though I've never read anything by her I have a couple of Susanna Kearsly on my piles. I must move her up. I've read everything by Charles Martin, Susan Meissner, Chris Fabry (I think off the top of my head), Francine Rivers, Lisa Genova. Working on Gil Paul and a few others.

[@BooksAndJams]

You should try a Hazel Gaynor. I think you'd like her. Susan Meissner is another author I love, but I'm not interested in her older backlist. I think I've almost read all of Francine Rivers too. That's another good one.

[@AmberLee-ge7eh]

I’ve read most of Tamera Alexander’s books. She writes mostly Christian historical fiction. She recently published a contemporary Christian novel,but I haven’t read it yet. I’m also working my way through Agatha Christie’s works.

I think I've read a Tamera Alexander book a long time ago. Finishing all of Christie's books would be amazing. There are so many!

[@jaynehunter-ar]

The Berlin Letters was so interesting - I hope you like it. I've never read Hazel Gaynor-which one would you recommend I start with?

[@BooksAndJams]

I'm glad to hear some feedback about Berlin Letters. It's really new so I haven't heard too much buzz about it. The Girl Who Came Home was my first Gaynor book and had me wanting to read more. I did also really like The Last Lifeboat, which is one of her newest. Either of those would be a good place to start I think.

[@BooksAndJams]

Nice. I do like Susan Meissner, but she has quite a few older ones that I am not interested in reading.

Great project idea, I have that goal this year, for authors Diane Chamberlain and Susan Meissner. However only read one of Susan Meissner's backlist book and 2 of Diane Chamberlain. I have more of Chamberlain on my Kindle, for I am in a reading slump and hope her books get me out of it. I read a lot of Susan's books already, and they are the ones in the library, the more popular ones, the ones that are way backlisted are hard to find. But still trying. and may do this again for next year.

@@BooksAndJams You as well! I had a great time.

[@orelsa82]

I am 2 books away from 0 with Abby Jimenez. I want to read Stephen King to 0, but I am about 2% on that goal😂

[@BooksAndJams]

Sweet! I would like to read more from her too. King has quite a few and they're all chonkers! It's a good life-time goal. haha.

I read two of Backman's books but when I started to read another... He's on board with LGBT which does go against my beliefs and I can't in good faith recommend him. However, Jamie Jo Wright sounds fantastic!

[@BooksAndJams]

I understand that.

[@BitesOfFaith]

@@BooksAndJams - Thank goodness I didn't upset you! I'm new to your channel and I'm not sure if you're of the faith or not so I'm glad you took it well! I love your other recs and got some from KU!

[@emilyreads5207]

No Brandon Sanderson? lol I think he would be an author who is tough to read to zero.

[@BooksAndJams]

No way. At least not yet. He might get on the list at some point, but definitely not right now.

[@rebekahmackenzie]

This is a great idea! I should do this as a goal for next year.

[@BooksAndJams]

It's fun to have a challenge.
