Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week's topic discusses what Ten Books/Authors I'm Thankful For.
Authors I'm thankful for:
2. Michael Ende - for writing my favourite book The Neverending Story
3. Stephen King - for all the great books I read through my teenage years.

4. Anne Rice - for the introduction to vampires and witches

7. JK Tolkien - for The Hobbit and introducing me to the fantasy world
8. David Eddings - for his fantasy creations
And for a bonus:
To my mum for encouraging and sharing my love of reading.
To my Uncle for introducing the Harry Potter series to me - he was laughing when he told us what he was reading on the train to work each day and sent me The Order of Phoenix which started me onto the series. He laughed about it because he was around 50 years old when he started reading them.
And, my husband for putting up with my excessive books and need for peace to read them. =)

Sophie Kinsella! Yes! She is always good for a laugh! I need more books from her. I've read everything.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for Anne of Green Gables. That book started my love affair with reading.
I have Harry Potter and The Hunger Games on my list too and for the same reasons. And yes to The Hobbit and LOTR, they are some of the best fantasy reads.
ReplyDeleteI love your story about your uncle. The magic of Harry Potter really transcends all ages. :D
Great list! I grew up on Sweet Valley High/Twins rather than The Babysitters Club but they're such staple features of the period xD
ReplyDeleteTolkien also made it to my list this week =)
Here's my TTT this week =)
I also chose Ann M. Martin! She helped make me a lifelong reader! Great list!
ReplyDeleteWe have three same picks (king, Tolkien, Rowling). Shame on me - still didn't read 'The Never-ending Story' *blush* And from Anne Rice I only read some kinky bdsm about Sleeping Beauty, it scared me from reading more of her books. LOL
