Barnes and Noble asked Readers to identify who their favorite Author was and the reason. Here I share excerpts as Readers chimed in telling all.
- Sarah J. Maas because characters are one of the most real and complex characters of all time because
- Sarah J Maas, because she tells stories of strength, epically and fantastically, and the writing is like music; just as amazing as any symphony.
- Cassandra Clare. Her books inspired me to write more stories, and not stop loving books
- My favourite write is Paul Coelhobecause he impresses me with each sentence and teaches me a lot, both about life and writing
- J.K. Rowling, because she wrote Harry Potter
- Megan Whalen Turner because I love her characters.
- Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, his books changed and inspired so much my life that I decided to translate them in Italian! Such a blessed decision
- J.K Rowling because she gave us the greatest Wizarding World
- Stephen King because his talent is bottomless – as is my fascination with everything he writes
- Agatha Christie because she gave me Hercule Poirot, the greatest detective in the world
- Danielle Steel because she’s a master of romance
- My favourite author is Andrzej Sapkowski because he got me thinking outside the box.
- Danielle Steele because she keeps me entertained the whole book through.
- My favorite author is John Green because his books are filled with mysteries and I love his way of writing.
- Shakespeare because he is just timeless. Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte because when I read their books they take me to another world and the women in their stories are strong and what ever they dream of doing they do and that inspires me to be and do what I want to do.
- Elizabeth Gilbert, because she wrote one of the most inspiring and life-changing books I’ve ever read.
- Jane Austen, because her books are an insight into characters who we can relate to from a time when people and places were different.
- Madeleine L’Engle is my favorite because she was able to write for a range of readers. She wrote children’s books, YA, adult, fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. My second favorite is Jane Austen. Her works transport me to the nineteenth century in England, which is my favorite setting to read about.
- John Hopkins because Lost Cactus is awesome!
- James Patterson. He thought what life is about… I lived through his stories.
- Truman Capote because he somehow makes beautiful stories from such simple words.
