Top Ten New To Me Authors I Read in 2012!!
Hello again with the "Top Ten Tuesday" which is "an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish". So the authors in question are:
1-Lucy Maud Montgomery who became one of my favourite authors, since her writing style is so adorable and her good humour is but to be cherished.
2- J. R. R. Tolkien, he also became my favourite author after reading his splendid novel " The Hobbit".
3- A. A. Milne, I love him and his "Winnie the Pooh"!!
4- Elizabeth Gaskell, I just finished her novel "North and South", and she's my favourite author also!!
5- Henry James, discovered him through "Daisy Miller", and how I'm fond of his writing style!!
6- Deanne Gist, I don't generally read books that are written by "new" authors, but Deanne's book has captivated my attention, and she deserves every respect!!
7- Danielle Steel, what I like about this author is the inspiring way she writes her romantic novels.
8- Daphne Du Maurier, I just discovered that she was a beauty, but her books are worth being read too!!
9- Charles Dickens, I read his "Great Expectation", and I'm going to read every novel written by this great author!! (God Willing)
10- Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm, I think they both contributed in writing their famous Fairy Tales, and I love them!!
Those were the authors that I discovered this year, and I think they are the majority of the authors I know, for I am but a beginners in the world of reading English books (I was always a book lover, but I've read Arabic and French books, now I'm an English-books lover). Hope you enjoy the post, and HAPPY READING DEAR READERS!!
I want to meet J. R. R. Tolkien; the happiness might kill me if this ever happened :) which is not going to happen :(

ReplyDeleteThis is an impressive list! Like the last time you joined Top Ten Tuesday, I find myself pleasantly surprised by the entry that doesn't seem to belong. Not many people would rank Danielle Steele with the rest of these heavyweights! ;-)
Well for me she's an author whom I discovered this year, and that's exactly why I listed her amongst them!!
