Top 10: Favorite Writers

I've always been one of those nerdy kids who love to read. Even when I was little. This post is about my favorite writers =)), I encourage you to write about yours.

• Nicholas Sparks

Nicholas Sparks has a way with words. My favorite book by him is probably 'Safe Haven,' or 'The Last Song.' It was different than his usual. He just writes the greatest love stories. I'm so ready for 'The Best of Me' to be published this fall.

• Meg Calbot

Most well known for her 'Princess Diaries' novels. However, she also writes series titled 'Queen of Babble' and 'Size 12 is NOT Fat.'  Both are equally good, and I identify with both ;).

• J.K. Rowling

'Harry Potter.' Need I say more? My favorite teacher ever got me hooked on them. I'm waiting on pins and needles for the last movie to be released, but I'm also hoping to drag it out. It's been a pretty big thing in my life since I was in the 4th grade. But alas, all good things must come to an end =(.

• Stephanie Meyer

Ahh. 'Twilight.' I've always enjoyed the books more so than the movies. This craze started in the 12th grade, encouraged by one of my best friends, Taylor. 

• Danielle Steel

Not entirely sure how this started. I know my first book was 'Southern Lights,' but  my favorite is 'A Good Woman.' I cried while reading this, and appreciate this author doesn't try to tie everything up in a perfect package. Not all of her stories have the happiest of endings.

• Sarah Dessen

'Lock and Key' is probably my favorite. They may be teenage fiction, but I still love them.

• Melody Carlson

Melody Carlson writes some of the best Christian novels I've ever written. Her 'Diary of a Young Girl' books always seem to relate to me somehow, despite all the girls she wrote about had different upbringings and lifestyles. =)

• Deb Caletti

So far I only have four of her novels, my favorite being 'Honey, Baby, Sweetheart.' My list of to-get books consist of 'Queen of Everything,' 'The Secret Life of Prince Charming,' and 'The Six Rules of Maybe.'

• Ann Brashares

'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' spoke to my little clique. We each identify with every character. She's just really well-written.

• Lauren Conrad

I'm obsessed, I know. I have all three of her books so far, and am anxiously waiting on her next. The books are basically an autobiography. I'm so ready to see the movie!
