If you want to play along, feel free to grab the image and link your post in the comments. One of these days I will start to provide a linky if more people join up. Until then, this way is simpler. Here goes.
Why I Love...???So here's the thing. This has been on my list for a topic for sometime, but I have skirted away from this question week after week. Why? I don't think I have a favorite author. I know that's crazy. Everyone has a favorite author right? There are authors that I enjoy but usually it isn't because of amazing writing style or anything.
I enjoy Linda Howard because I know what to expect. I know what will happen and what tends to be outside of her boundaries and I like that. I enjoy Janet Evanovich but I only read her Stephanie Plum series and nothing else. I enjoyed Stephanie Meyer's Twilight but didn't even consider reading The Host. I enjoy reading Nora Roberts but never read any books under her J.D. Robb pseudonym. In fact when I was younger *cough* twenty-two *cough* I usually didn't even pay attention to the author's name. I realized later that it was very embarrassing that I never knew the author of books I was raving about. I started to catalog this extra piece of information.
I don't tend to get attached to particular authors. I get attached to characters and series. I like predictability. I like knowing that if I'm in a particular mood, I can head straight to Linda Howard and be extremely satisfied. But I don't have a favorite author.
So this week's topic is favorite author. Which author(s) do you love? And why don't I have one? Am I weird? Am I over thinking this? Probably. I'm quite accustomed to it. How do you pick a favorite author?
