Author Talk

Hi Betty,
I LOVE J.K. Rowling! Meg Cabot is a little too girly, but that's just my opinion.
Louisa M. Alcott is one of my fav's, coz she wrote such a touching story abt 4 sisters,their dreams,their loves,their anxieties and their life.Its brilliant! Give it a read if u have time-its AWESOME!

Scott O' Dell and John Knowles. Two very good authors. :)

Heres another fave author of mine..... Agatha Cristie. She writes a whole bunch of murder mysteries and the hero in her books is a detective name hercule poirot. Its sooooo awsome.

I like Frances H. Burnett and L.M. Montgomery.
(Authors of the Anne of Green Gables series, Emily of New moon series, The Secret Garden and A Little Princess) Actually QUALITY reading. Not like Judy Blume trash.

Defintiely check out Nora Roberts (aka J.D. Robb). the J.D. Robb books are mysteries and the Nora Roberts books are romance. they're both really great, I love reading them.

COMPLAINT
None of you guys in the comics notice me! AUGH!
Why dont you answer my advice problems-or once-just once-MENTION ME!! AUGH!!!!!

Stephenie Meyer, deffinitly, the Twilight books are amazing, they're even making a movie!

R.L. Stine is my favorite! I don`t like his goosebumps series but the fear street is the best! I also love Richie Tankersley Cusick. I love all horror stories though...

Ann Coulter &
Jonah Goldberg

Hey Betty! I have a favorite author! Her name is Sarah Mlynowski?

I LOVE Melody Carlson. You should read her books, betty. They sound so, well, You!

Nicole Clarke is more of a glamorous writer but you might like her.
Have fun reading!

If you enjoy fantasy, try Tamora Pierce and Jane Lindskold. They are both amazing...!

Hey Betty!
I was feeling really down so I thought I would come peek in on the blog. Do you mind if I unload? I could really use some cheering up. My birthday was Monday. That's not a problem. The problem is that my grandma just remembered today. Okay normally this would be bad, but her birthday is just two days from mine. It makes me feel real low. Any suggestions on ways to cheer myself up?

Ok, favorite authors...hmmm...that's actually hard to say. I love to read.
I agree Carolyn Keene is completely awesome.
Franklin Dixon is too (Hardy Boys).
Nora Roberts and her alter ego JD Robb.
Cornelia Funke.
Agatha Christie (and not just her Hercule Poirot).
Dorothy Gilman (Mrs. Pollifax series).
Dick Francis (mysteries with a horse background).
Margaret Peterson Haddix.
and many many more.

Oops. Forgot to say Happy Earth Day!
Did you do anything special?
We went to a local national park and helped clean up, plant flowers, and a little touching up on some of the buildings.

Hi Betty!!!

I have a favorite author too! I like Ally Carter! Especially her books: I'd Tell You I love Tou, But Then I'd Have to Kill You, and Cross My Heart And Hope To Spy!! Has anyone read these?

Annie Byrant, who writes the Beacon Street Girls.

Hey Betty!Thanks so much for the guy advice!You should definatly check out Jodi Lynn Anderson!

Your welcome betty!!!

I know Anne Mazer is such a good writer? dont you agree?

Omg...Hi, im back! Im not sure anyone will remember me :( . well my fave authors are...hmm...so hard to decide...weeelll...I'd have to say Frank Peretti Ted Dekker and Lois Lowry. Later!

This is just my opinion, but I think any book that you like can be considered quality reading. Any book that makes you laugh, cry, think or one that you just can't put down is good. For some, Anna Karenina is a quality book, while for others, it's Clifford the big red dog. I think it doesn't matter who wrote the book, as long as YOU like it, it's a quality book.

-Sona

L. M. Montgomery!!
L. M. Alcott!!!
Dee Henderson!
Brock and Bodie Thoene!
Lauraine Snelling!
DiAnn Mills!!
Gilbert Morris!!

Of course, I AM a major Historical Fiction-Christian-Romance lover. :D

Also, I think her name is Pam Munoz Ryan or sumthing, but she's a good author 2. She wrote Esperansa Rising and Becoming Naomie Leon. They're both really sad stories. And Ella Enchanted and Fairest are really good! They're both books by Gail Carson Levine. And you should read bout Anastasia; its such a sad story, the cartoon version makes it seem so happy though. So Anastasia; the last grand duchess (Russia, 1914) by Carolyn Meyer is also really good. Ellen Raskin wrote the Westing game I think..it's an awesome mystery book. All my friends hav read Twilight and say it's an amazing book, so I'll hav 2 read it also. Obviously, Lemony Snicket is 1 of my favorite authors. I just read Stargirl 4 the second time n it's all about nonconformity in high school(by jerry spinelli) its a gr8 book! - Amal*F

How about Mary Shelley? She wrote one of the most
famous horror stories:Frankenstein. In this story, Victor Frankenstein, the main character, actually created a monster! This story's very exiting, and one of my most favorite stories, too. You can borrow the book from the library, or just sit and read the story on the computer (if you find it on the net!)

(((HopeYouGetThatBook)))

Delina

If you like Harry Potter the Magyk series(Maygk, Flyte, Phisik, and Queste)by Angie Sage are amazing.They are better than Harry Potter!

Whoever wrote 'Pollyanna' and the "Warriors' series.They are awesome! :)

Of you guys like Cornelia Funke and a bit of J.K Rowling, go for Trudi Canavan

Jenni-
I have tons of favorite authors! Hve you read 'whnere the red fern groes' ? It's really good, but it's so sad! Also Louis Lowry is a really good author.( I think that's how you spell her name) But, my favorite series of all time is, Archie comics!

P.S. I have over 100 Archie comics!

twilight series by stephenie meyer is definitly the best!!!!! that's where i got the name i'm using (runs with vampires) from! anyways, read those books! they are great!

I'm doin' good, Simone!

I have waist-length, chocolate brown curls with natural coppertones because of national golden and caramel streaks. And even the brown turns gold at the tips.

I have round, emerald green eyes.

I am quite short also, for 11 years which I just turned.

I was naturally tanned..

And people think I'm exotic!

OMG!! I loved when I saw that you put this article up because I ADORE reading!! Unfortunately, you missed MY favorite- Jacqueline Wilson.. Omg she is AMAZING.. She has such VOICE in her writing.. She is astounding!! I have 24 of her books!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE try some of hers, I KNOW you'll enjoy them
THE BIGGEST ARCHIE FAN IN THE WORLD( Well, at least here in Beirut, Lebanon.)
P.S. And I have proof I am the biggest fan because I did the quiz on your website and won!! Oh and btw I sent my story about the Archie's buisness trip to the Riverdale Candy Factory.. I hope you like it- It's the one that start with : Kids, come on! We have to get to the candy factory before ten o'clock!

I loooove J.K. Rowling, but Terry Deary is my personal fave. He is a British author who writes: Horrible Histories, The Fire Thief series(about Prometheus)and some other books. If you live in the U.S., and want to check him out, google search horrible books. P.S. Greek Myths Rule!!!!!

C.S. Lewis. Author of the Chronicles of Narnia. I can't wait for Prince Caspian to come out this summer!!!

I totally agree. BSG Rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like C.S.Lewis the best(Author of the chronicles of Narnia)

hi betty im ur fan bec. ur the best

hey Coral,

u sound like really beautiful. people usually say i'm really beautiful. one of my best friends is constantly saying how beautiful i am. oh yeah and, i think my skin is slightly darker (natrually). and when i sit out in the sun 4 ages and try 2 get a tan it usually goes red instead lol. but then after about 2 days it goes a really nice bronze/brown. thankfully.

so, what's ur like and dislikes? one of my biggest likes is fashion. i am like MAD about fashion. i am always drawing clothes. if u talked 2 PHEMY, she's be able 2 tell u that!! i am determinned 2 be a fashion designer when i'm older and finished school.

i don't really have any dislikes. so, what about u?

xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

I recommend CS Lewis (Chronicles of Narnia) and JRR Tolkein (Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit)

Hey Bets,

U should DEFINITELY know about Lisi Harrison. She's the author of The Clique Series.(Soon to become a movie)
I totally HEART HER!
