Day 13: My Favorite Author
This is a tough one. I have so many "favorite" authors that I can't choose just one. Instead, I think I'll choose a few--but from different genres. That's not cheating is it? It is? Well I'm doing it anyway!
Favorite YA Author:
Um DUH--it's J.K. Rowling. BUT veryone says J.K. Rowling and she hasn't written anything since the Harry Potter series (except for Tales of Beedle the Bard which I still consider part of the HP franchise). So I'm not going to go with J.K. Rowling. I'm going to go with someone else:
Michael Scott, author of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel series, is a true storyteller. I haven't read a book he's written that I didn't absolutely LOVE.
Favorite Fiction Author:
Leslie Silbert is my favorite adult fiction author. You've probably never heard of her. She's only written one book and that was ages ago. I really wish she'd write another one. Leslie, if you're reading this pleeeeeease write another book. For me? Because I loved The Intelligencer and I think you rock.
Favorite Mystery/Crime Author:
I read A LOT of gruesome murder mysteries. The grosser it is, the more horrific it is, the better it is. I read James Patterson's Lady's Murder Club series. I have read every Patricia Cornwell book out there. My favorite author in this genre, however, is one I have met on occasion. In fact, she taught me anthropology. She's also good friends with most of my department (at my grad school). Maybe I'm biased. But I love her books and I love the tv show based on her books. It's Kathy Reichs. My husband says I like the series so much because I am a lot like Temperance Brennan (which is unfortunately pretty true).
Favorite Fantasy Author:
He's probably your favorite fantasy author too. He's everyone's favorite. I don't know anyone who doesn't love his books. My absolute favorite book of all time is one of his books. It's called Neverwhere. That's right folks--It's Neil Gaiman.
