Top Ten (All Time) Favorite Authors

I'm limiting this list to authors with multiple works, most of which I have read. So for example, while I love A Tale for the Time Being, Ruth Ozeki wouldn't be eligible for this list since I have yet to read any of her other works. Authors with only one book or collection of work may be included. Ann Rinaldi Barbara Kingsolver Diana Gabaldon Erin Morgenstern Gillian Flynn Jeanette Winterson Laurie Halse Anderson Mary Lawson Tamora Pierce Willa Cather   * This post is part of Top Ten Tuesdays run by The Broke and the Bookish.

Teaser Tuesday - April 14th

"My mother would never let the hearth die in her home," Margret said. She felt Agnes turn to look at her, but didn't meet her gaze. "She believed that as long as a light burned in the house, the Devil couldn't get in. Not even during the witching hour." Agnes was quiet. "What do you believe?" she asked eventually. Margret extended her hands towards the flames. "I think a fire is a useful thing to keep a body warm," she said. - Burial Rites by Hannah Kent Teaser Tuesday is  hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading .
