Today is the fall equinox. Soon leaves will be changing colors and the air will get cooler. I love curling up in the fall/winter with a good book. The fall is a busy time for book release as publishers release many new books in the hopes that people will buy books for the holiday season. Do you have a favorite author you like to read? One you get on the reserve list at the library for before their new book is even published? I have several authors I follow and anxiously await the release of their new books. Here are just a few of my favorite authors:
Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson series)
Megan McDonald (Judy Moody series)
Nancy Springer (Enola Holmes Mysteries)
Ron Roy (A to Z and Capitol Mysteries)
Sarah Pennypacker (Clementine series)
Jeff Kinney (Diary of a Wimpy Kid)
Pam Munoz Ryan (a variety of titles)
Deborah Wiles (a variety of titles)
I’ll stop now because I could go on and on into the next century. I want to know the authors you like. Post a comment and let me know.
Currently it's Barbara Kingsolver (She needs to write another one for me, though. I've read all her fiction, though not all the nonfiction.)
