Who is your favorite author(s)?

I love so many authors and the list grows year after year.  For those of you like me, where picking just one is impossible, don’t worry, list as many as you like.

I’m excited to find out your favorites!  I’m hoping to find some more that I’m not familiar with to add to my list.

 

I’ll start us off.  One of my favorite authors is Jane Austin.  I’ve read almost all of her books.
