I definitely agree that a little romance can only help pretty much... anything.

I have a super small auto-buy list when it comes to AUTHORS. I have a longer list when it comes to SERIES. But anyway!
- Charlaine Harris ~ I've read bits of two of her series so far, and I just love her style.
- Kristan Higgins ~ Love love every book I've read by her.

I agree. Not so many contemporary auto-buys here, except for Larry Correia, Peter Hamilton, John Ringo, and Michael Z. Williamson. But back in "the day", whhooo-WEE! Heinlein, Asimov, Niven & Pournell, Zelazny, Herbert, Crichton, Clancy...

You know - I don't think it will be long before I start adding independent authors to this list. I've ready some great books this year already.

I don't have any authors on my autobuy list. I have a huge pile of books to read already, and I'm picky about what I read. Even my favorite authors have written on topics I don't care to read about.

It used to be that if I saw a new Terry Pratchett Hardcover I would buy it straight away, although for the last few years I think it was more habit than anything, as his latest books I havent enjoyed as much as his older ones, however, since I got my eReader I didnt buy his latest (I Shall Wear Midnight)....I put it back.
I will probably get it at some point, for completeness of the collection, but as an automatic purchase, the eReader has killed off my habit.

None, really. Even my most favourite trusted authors whose works I've almost all enjoyed have produced the occasional dud that killed a tree for no good reason.

So even they have to go through the "wait and see" process where I look at whether their new book is in a series I wanted to see continued, or if the setting/plot overall looks like something I'll like, or it has certain elements that I'm otherwise very likely to enjoy.

And if the answer to those is "answer hazy, ask again later", then I'll wait for the library to get it in, and buy my own copy afterwards if it's good, and sometimes wait for some sort of extra sale/discount coupon/remainder/used afterwards if it's not that great but I still want one anyway (especially if I'm being completionist about the duds).
