Last week was a bit abnormal, in that I didn't read a single book. Lately, I haven't really had anything that gets me excited to start reading. I've been thinking about authors that I like though. It seems that each author has certain
characteristics that draw a reader to him/her. I find that I enjoy when I find a good author because then I know what to expect from the book. I enjoy looking forward to a book and knowing, before I start reading it, that I'll like it. For that reason, I like to be
familiar with authors. Here are some of my favorites:
- Brock and Brodie Thoene--they conduct a ton of historical research before writing any of their books and I appreciate the attention to detail.
- Ann Rinaldi--I went through a big phase, where I would devour her novels.
- Lois Lowry--One of my old-time favorites.
So, I guess my question for you is, who's your favorite author and why? What do you like about their writing techniques? What makes you want to keep turning the pages of their books? Feel free to share... might just find a new favorite!
