My read author list, part 1: A-K

Here's a list of authors I've read throughout the years, from A-K. Each genre/subgenre has a code in parenthesis, after the first time I've mention it. Please let me know your thoughts on who you've read or who you haven't read. If you have suggestions for next year, let me know. I'll be starting my TBR list in October/November.  I'll be posting L-Z later on this month.

 I'll be adding new authors at the end of every month in this same blog post. New: Every new author will be underlined for one month, every time I update my list.
