Hey everybody! Who

Chatterbox: Blab About Books

Favorite author: Elizabeth George Speare
Hey everybody! Who...

Hey everybody! Who is you your favorite author? J. K. Rowling, perhaps? Or maybe Lemony Snicket? Mine is Elizabeth George Speare. She wrote The Witch Of Blackbird Pond, Sign Of The Beaver, and my new favorite, The Bronze Bow. 

Have you read any of her books? Who is your favorite author in general?

Rick Riordan for sure. My reason is just everything! He's so funny. I've never heard of Elizabeth George Speare, so I'm going to have to read some of her books!

Oooooh this is a hard one!!!! Favorite author…. Umm I really like Tony Hillerman (the Jim Chee mysteries and stuff), and I like Robin McKinley (the Hero and the Crown, The Blue Sword, the Door in the Hedge), but then again there's JK Rowling, (Harry Potter, duh) and Trenton Lee Stewart (the Mysterious Benedict Society), and Derek Landy (Skulduggery Pleasant), and oh my, I forgot Phillip Pullman (The Golden Compass, The Sublte Knife, The Amber Spyglass, and HOPEFULLY SOON The Book of Dust). So I'm really not sure. This is hard. I also to a lesser degree like Rick Riordan's works, and Kate Milford (Greenglass House). And, OMG how could I have forgotten, JOHN GREEN (the Fault In Our Stars, An Abundance of Katherines, and Paper Towns)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm probably gonna have to say John Green, since his are the most recent books new to me that I've read.

Love and bookmania, SHERLOCK IS ALIVE!!!!!!!

John Green is literally my spirit animal. 

P.S. My captcha says natt. Like Nat Wolff who plays Issac in The Fault in Our Stars movie or Quentin in the Paper Towns movie?

He also wrote a LOTTTTTT of other AWESOME books that you should most DEFINITELY read. Sorry. That was strange. And mean because I yelled at you.

There's some swearing and like kinda suggestive things, but all in all they're really awesome:)

Love, SHERLOCK IS ALIVE;)

JOHN GREEN IS AMAZING!!!! AHHHHH!!!!

I cried about 100,000 times reading his books. Maybe that's an exaggeration. But if your parents will let you read some of his books (because there is swearing and some innapropriate things), you should.

GAHHHHHH I CANT DECIDE!!!
