My Magic 10 Authors ABOUT THE REVIEW This review contains sort of different writers from different corners the world, from history and present. Here are list of authors describing them as a writer on how they started writing; topics that they are interested in; sort of their works and a little autobiography. Some are known ...  Read the complete review

I love reading and generally enjoy most books so choosing my top ten authors is going to be tricky : - ) 1. Virginia Andrews - She is by far the best author I have ever read, she wrote classics such as Flowers in the Attic and Heaven, she writes superbly and really stands out with her fantastic prose. 2. Jaqueline Wilson - I ...  Read the complete review

I struggled to choose 10 authors, so you're getting 9 of them instead. Hopefully you'll like this review, it's my last one before my 200th review so please enjoy. ======== Authors ======== ==================== Number 9: Jodi Picoult ==================== I had to find a number 9 author as I have ...  Read the complete review

I love words, I love reading and I love books - I could not imagine life without them. My favourite author of all time is Kathleen Winsor. She wrote my favourite book, 'Forever Amber', a fantastic novel set in Restoration England and containing such graphic accounts of the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London, that you feel you are ...  Read the complete review

I am an avid book reader. I absolutely love reading. I've picked out ten of my preferred authors and a reason as to why. 1) James Patterson - Is there any question that he is the best author around at the moment? No way! His fast short chapters create a book that is so easy to read. I love the women's murder mystery series with the ...  Read the complete review

I love to read, like most people on this site! I'm quite fussy with my authors, and do have some favourites! 1) Jacqueline Wilson She writes a large variety of books about children and their suffering, such as Lola Rose and Tracy Beaker. 2) Lemony Snicket Writes the Series of Unfortunate Events books about the three ...  Read the complete review

As you might have guessed from the sheer volume of my reviews (the majority of which focus on my varied choice of reading material), I enjoy reading in my spare time, whilst on the toilet, in the bath in fact at any time when I have more than five minutes to spare and am not looking after my seven month daughter. Yes I am a ...  Read the complete review

Edward Gibbon once said that he would not exchange his love of reading for all the treasures of India, and I echo that sentiment! There are so many terrific authors to choose from, that picking my favourite ten was really difficult. I’m not suggesting that these writers are the best writers in the world, but they are the writers that have ...  Read the complete review

Top ten authors is a pretty good idea for a topic to write about not least because it reminds me of some work that I should really go back and experience again. I have assumed that Paul Raymond and his excellent publications are not to be included even if the writing in readers stories is of a most excellent quality. The first few authors are in ...  Read the complete review

I love reading, have done so since when I was about 8 when I discovered Enid Blyton. One of my friends still remembers how I used to read under the table during lessons in early Junior school, and I still do it during lectures that would otherwise send me to sleep! So over the years I’ve read and loved many books and been through phases ...  Read the complete review

Well we all love to read, unless you’re some weird person, but reading is one of the best activities one could be involved in. You don’t need anybody else, it’s a way to waste a bit of time and it’s also really fun if you are reading a good book. I always need a book to read otherwise I feel a little lost. I hate finishing a good book, and I ...  Read the complete review

I am a big reader and actually feel very lost when I have not got a book to read. When I have been reading something I have really enjoyed I actually get a bit sad as I finish it and become very eager to read my next instalment. When it comes to authors I like most people do have my favourites and if I read a good book by an author then I tend ...  Read the complete review

**Please note that this isn't the correct category but then, is there a correct category for challenge ops? When there is it shall be moved!** ***Also, please note, if any non-regular dooyooers are reading this, I do know how to use capital letters properly. Dooyoo appears to have forgotten though!*** Right, now, onto ...  Read the complete review

I am not the greatest fan of challenges, for the simple reason is that I don?t find many of them challenging. I think a challenge should ?stretch? your normal daily thoughts, make you explore boundaries you would normally shy away from and try a different approach to your writing style. However, I also think that sharing thought can help ...  Read the complete review

Thanks to Malu for thinking up this challenge, being an avid reader I enjoyed having to think in detail about the huge amount of books I've read and it also reminded me to track down books that I've read in the past and want to read again! ~*~*~ What is your favourite genre? ~*~*~ I can't really say I've got one ...  Read the complete review

MALU has issued a questionnaire to investigate our literary habits and preferences, and who am I to shrink from subjecting my taste to her scrutiny? Always ready to talk about myself, I'm only too delighted that she seems to be interested. So here's my contribution. _______________________ Question: What is your ...  Read the complete review

Quite possibly the one thing I would choose over chocolate, is a new book. I have always wanted to do a Top Ten Authors list, and have never found the opportunity before now. I began reading at the age of five, and quickly read everything in the school library that I could reach. Our librarian’s theory was, if you could reach it, why ...  Read the complete review

I know, I know: these top tens can be boring. They either tell you too little (no better decisions there then), or they tell you way too much (and everyone falls asleep, so no better decisions there either). Still, Christmas is approaching, lists are being written, and I reckon every child out there should get at least one book in the present ...  Read the complete review

My top 10 authors has been even harder to put together than my top 10 books, and I’m sure there’s some I’ve missed out, but here goes… As ever, these are my 10 favourite, based solely on personal preference, not on influence or anything. Also, I decided not to put any children’s authors in – I want to ...  Read the complete review

I suppose, for me, this is a way to look back across a young life’s worth of reading and say, OK, you, you, you and you – great stuff … thanks! The thing is, the ten authors that come most readily to mind are the ones I have read and enjoyed most recently. I will endeavour, therefore, to sink down into my memory and dredge up the ...  Read the complete review
