This was a lot more difficult for me than the past Top Ten Tuesday topics (trying saying that 10x fast). Anyway, I tried to remember books from when I was growing up and what I like to read now. A few authors I omitted, because I want to use them for next week’s topic (or they only have a few books available). Berenstain Bears – When I was little, I think I read almost every one of these books! Beverly Cleary – I absolutely loved Ramona and read the series over and over again. But I have also read a lot of her other books as well – Runaway Ralph for example. Laura Ingalls Wilder – I love historical fiction and fell in love with this whole series and read a number of the books written by her daughter. Ann M. Martin – Babysitter’s Club, but more so her stand alone books are absolutely fabulous and she’s still writing today! L.M. Montgomery – Again, I loved historical fiction and still do so Anne of Green Gables was right up my alley. Michael Crichton – There weren’t as many great YA books (especially in my small library) growing up, so I jumped up to adult books falling in love with Michael Crichton’s books which weren’t only entertaining, but had a lot of research base which I found fascinating. Patricia Cornwell – I always like watching detective, crime scene shows and Patricia Cornwell’s Kay Scarpetta novels were so interesting. Amy Krouse Rosenthal – I love this author’s books and read every one that gets published. They’re clever and adorable! Salina Yoon – one word – penguin! Her books are the cutest books! Mo Willems – I love his picture books and easy readers! So clever and so much fun to read. Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish.
