Thought I'd do Weekly Geeks, because this looks like a fun meme!
You know how when someone asks you who your favorite author is? And you feel a bit crazy coming up with just one? Now is your chance to come up with 26 (at least) favorite authors by making a list of them ABC style. (See my above link from the past for an example.) There are no rules, list a couple per letter if you feel the need. Skip a letter if you draw a blank. Make it be categories if you want to. For instance, a favorite YA author list. A favorite classic author list. A favorite "new to me" author list. A favorite mystery author list.
Or simply an all time favorite author list... from A to Z!

Nice list. I'm playing for the first time...I couldn't resist making a list. My list is here
ReplyDeleteI'll have to come back to this one when I have more time to make a list of my own. All good authors though, my favorite was your "y" selection! Very clever!
ReplyDeleteCool list..
ReplyDeleteI don't see Ann Rule on much people's list - but I personally love her recap of true crimes - she does bring a certain something to the re-telling and she has a define style that works for me...
Have a great week...
