Latest Review: "Cinque Terre, Florence, Umbria" by Enrico Massetti

Post by AmandaR »

I have reasons for my top favorite authors. The first one is Eloise Jarvis McGraw. That one is because I read her books when I was little. She got me started on loving books. The second is my real favorite author, which is Charlotte Bronte. And my last "favorite" constantly changes. Right now it is John Green, but it very well could change the next time I read a good book.

My top three favourite authors are
1. It is Cassandra Clare, there is not a single doubt about that. I love her books!
2. Rick Riordan. He also writes amazing books!
3. This one is hard… not because I don’t have any other author, but rather because there are too many too choose from… I will have to go with… John Green. I love his books extremely!
My weekend is all booked!

1. Keith Donohue
2. J.R.R. Tolkien
3. Louisa May Alcott

It was difficult to choose between Jane Austen and Lousia May Alcott. I really do love both equally. I opted to list Louisa because I'm currently focused on reading her works.

My top three favorite authors are Richard Paul Evans, Karen Kingsbury, and Beverly Lewis.

Richard Paul Evans books have great stories. They all have trials that the characters learn from and become better people because of them. Karen Kings bury writes stories that are life changing type stories. Hers are more life like, and when I read her books, I usually have to read a lighter type book to regain my emotions, but they do read well and remind you just how blessed you are. Beverly Lewis writes Amish fiction. I enjoy reading about their way of life and how close knit the communities are.

1) Margaret Atwood
2) Chuck Palahniuk
3) Jane Austen

But actually, I love browsing bookshops and finding authors I've never read before.
