♥Books, Coffee, Music & Ireland♥ discussion

I know we already did a "fav book" topic and characters n such, but I was wondering about authors; their a bit easier to pick from cause favorite book is just such a hard question! LOL so!- list your fav authors and, if possible, what you like about them! if you WANT to put down what book makes them your fav you can, but don't feel obligated like this is a re-do of other book topics. lol

Fave Authors, its hard to decide! Agatha Christie, jane Austen, Lena Woods, C. H. Lewis, Author Conan Doyle, and L.M. Montgomery. Oh! And Mark Twain! Those are so far who remember!

Agatha Cristie!! never read her stuff but love the stories!!

well not the stories, the mystries :D

lol ;D Ive never read one. :*)

have you seen any of them?

Hmmm nope don't think so.

i like Agathe Criste's Poirot's :)

Agatha's books are wonderful! Her mysteries are written with taste, and Poirot and Ms. Marple are wonderful detectives! You gals should check out the shows!

thanks Alish!

love them and wanna read some! love to watch them. ;)

As hard as I try, I can never guess who the culprit is! And that say a good mystery to me. Its just boring if you know who it is :)

yes same!! i never get it right...

ikr? its always so ....simple. I really liked The Poyson Garden it was one of the few I couldnt fig out, although I will warn: there are quite a few unnecessary woreds. :/ but the plot was SO well thought out and I COULD NOT figure it out!!!!!! XD

That si another nice thing, there are very few unnecessary words in there, especially in any Ms. Marple story because she is so proper, I love her!

I cant stand bad words in books that I dont own, cause I cant cross them out. :/

LOL my sister did once on accident and got in trouble! XD it was from the library! lol but I wish I could. ;)

lol oh well! not my problem I guess. its a shame, but yup. thats the way it is. lol ;/

IKR? Its so annoying! It sounds terrible, but I usually do a quick read-through of the book BEFORE I buy it, so I don't waste my money. I am a horrible person :(

This list looks really long & pretty sloppy (to me anyway), but I did want to share my fav books by these authors. Maybe some of y'all will find some new authors/books that you like... :)

I'm not all that loyal to authors so I can't really pick a favorite. I'm all over the board. I may like books by an author but hate others by the same author.

Julie Kagawa is an new author of mine that I love.She wrote The Iron Fey series about faeries and The Immortal Rules about vampires.Both series are really great and if you like YA Fantasy do try her.

I'll look her up Nicole - those books sound right up my alley - thanks!

I have a TON of fav authors!!!! XD Natasha would know. ;P lol
