I have a top 3 favorite authors. Though I do have more than 3 fav authors, these are my abso freakin lutly fav authors. I will verbally/tumblr attack anyone that says anything remotely rude about their work!
(AM I JOKING?....WHOS KNOWS?)
Without further ado I present my TOP 3
1.Stephenie Meyer
2.Cassandra Clare
3. Richelle Mead
(In the following posts I will spotlight each author)
Stephenie Meyer
“SM” brought me into the world of reading at the tender age of 15 in 2008.
Sure I read other books before reading SM’s, but it was nothing serious…. But there I was a 15 yr old girl, who never read anything remotely paranormal.
(not even Harry Potter…I wasn’t allowed but that’s another story!) Picture me in this little book store, being forced to pick out a book to read.
I was looking around and didn’t see anything that caught my interest, but then I saw this book cover of these creepy a** hands holding an apple… I briefly recall this girl in my class reading this book and not thinking anything of it, except that she was weird to willfully read a big a** book when she could be doing anything else like texting or gossiping…. Anyways, there I was in the book store looking at Twilight, in all its creepiness and I decided take it back home with me. I read the front and back and realized 3 things…
And then I was obsessed!
I couldn’t stop reading it… I didn’t want to do anything but read.
I was in F*ck’n Narnia! I was sucked into a world of awesomeness filled w/ juicy goodness!... when I wasn’t reading twilight I was thinking about it, quoting it, &looking for other books like it & then rereading Twilight b/c they couldn’t compare(THEY DIDN’T EVEN SPARKLE! Lol jk they just weren’t good enough) any ways I was obsessed…
“SM” opened up my mind to reading. She the reason I read Harry Potter (even though it was a middle grade), The Hunger Games & City of Bones
(She recommended them on her website) and this is why “SM” is number one on my TOP 3….
Cassandra Clare
“CC” is the forbidden, bad boy, ass kicking, writing queen! She writes the most awesome, witty, sarcastic, egotistical characters ever!
“CC” she full of awesomeness!
Not only is she amazing author, she’s great to her fans by always putting out new books or novellas to quench our thirst, she also has a Tumblr to keep us updated on her plans…(but do not go if you have not read all her work or you will be spoiled!)
**weird but so true fact about “CC”**
*She collect fan girls tears in a bottle, to stay young…*
Richelle Mead
Richelle Mead…. Oh My Gosh I LOVE HER BOOKS! “RM” is like the crouching tiger hidden dragon of authors!
**Weird but so true fact about “RM”**
*“RM” has 3rd book syndrome*
What’s 3rd book syndrome?
It’s when authors disguise their 1st two books as regular 3 and a half stars and on the 3rd book she or he slaps you w/ awesomeness & leaves you obsessed, & needing more…
When I decided to read “RM’s” Vampire Academy series, I wasn’t expecting much…. I was dissing the cover & the title. I thought it was going to be some mediocre, wannabe, Twilight book.(this was 4 yrs after Twilight, so I read lots of wannabes…), but anyways I read it b/c I needed something to read & the series was recently completed. I read the first book and it was good enough to read the 2nd book, & that was really good! And then I read the 3rd & BAM!
I was obsessed! After that series I read her Georgina Kincaid series & the same thing happen on her 3rd book…
This is why “RM” is a TOP FAV!
This is a very detailed look at the Bund, Yuyuan Garden, and Mid Lake Pavilion Teahouse in Shanghai. It is very detailed, and includes history and folklore connected with the places. The tone is a bit corny with the jokes. I think they are trying for folksie. But it is not enough to put off a reader and becomes almost endearing because it is also very obivious that the writer(s) love the subject.
