Everywhere I go online there are lists, so I thought I’d do a list this week. I haven’t done one since my “how not to kick the bucket” list. The challenge, of course, is a list of what? I’ve already done the bucket list. I know I haven’t seen ten movies this year. I don’t think I’ve seen five movies this year (if you discount Netflix and I think we should, don’t you?).
I’m a hermit, so that limits list options even further. Not sure anyone but me is interested in my favorite chocolate–unless you’re sitting next to me. Then it would matter.
You probably knew it was going to circle around to books, right? I used to have other hobbies, but I’ve had to let them fall by the wayside (time issue) and focus on words. Which boils down to: I love to read and I love to write. So here’s my top ten list of authors that maybe you haven’t heard of but might like to check out. Because I made a list of them. Or just because:
Mary Elgin doesn’t have a wikipedia page, probably because she only wrote three books. Huge sigh. I stumbled onto Highland Masquerade first. Took the internet and used book sites before I could get my hands on The Wood and the Trees. The title is quite awful, but the story is wonderful.
The Gordons. Did you ever see the Disney movie That Darn Cat? Well, it came from a book written by this crime writing couple called Undercover Cat. They wrote several books about FBI agents and stories. Fun story and a Halley Mills movie? Oh yeah, I’m there.
Sally Watson. She was a young adult discovery, but I never forgot Jade and hunted it down later as a re-release here. It’s a story about a young girl who becomes a pirate and falls in love. Of course, I couldn’t forget it. Action. Adventure. Romance. Sigh.
D. E. Stevenson. My favorite of her many novels is Miss Buncle’s Book and Miss Buncle Married. Because they are about an author, a quirky author. They used to be hard to find, but I found some shiny, new re-releases and audio books. Score!
So, are there any authors here that you’ve missed? Never heard of? Liked, too? Do you love or hate top ten lists? Wish I’d do more? Cause I could do a break down into genres and go crazy with the lists. Write now or forever, okay, that doesn’t work, but remember that all comments are entered in my monthly drawing for a $10 AnaBanana Gift Card. Winner announced first blog post of the new month.
