Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This Thanksgiving week the theme is Ten Books or Authors You are Thankful For.
Since I did a list for my birthday of the 33 best books of my life this past week, all of which I am thankful for, I am going to go with authors for this meme. I am selecting those authors who I have read the most often because I heart them so hard.
1. Jane Austen. Obviously.
2. Michelle Moran. Also obviously.
3. James Patterson. Don't hate.
4. Edgar Allan Poe
5. F. Scott Fitzgerald
6. Philippa Gregory
7. William Shakespeare
8. Toni Morrison
9. Maya Angelou
10. Barbara Kingsolver
Who would be on your list of authors you are most thankful for?
I don't know if I can come up with ten but my favorites are:
ReplyDeleteJ R R Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings, etc
Susan Mayse: Awen
Edith Pargeter: The Brothers of Gwyeneth, The Heaven Tree
Richard Adams: Watership Down
Sandra Dallas: Tallgrass, The Diary of Mattie Spencer
C S Lewis: The Chronicles of Narnia
Forrest Carter: The Education of Little Tree
Catharine Marshall
Great list! I would add Adriana Trigiana, Sarah Pekkanen and more!
