Thankful For Authors Who… #TopTenTuesday #ReadingLife #blogger #bookblogger #BookX #booksky #bookworm #booklist #AuthorShoutout

I’m forever thankful for authors who transport me around the world, create memorable and inspiring characters, and offer thought-provoking themes.

I’m Thankful for Authors Who…

Happy Thanksgiving surrounded by colorful autumn leaves and a few pumpkins

Of course, I’m beyond grateful for my dear family and friends (including virtual blogging buddies). However, since this is a bookish blog, I’ll focus on my other love: READING. I’m linking up today with That Artsy Reader Girl for Top Ten Tuesday: Thanksgiving Freebie and shouting out a few special authors who have brought joy to my reading life.

  7. I thank authors who don’t have to swear in their books! Looking at Project Hail Mary, thanks Andy Weir!

    • Yes!!! I should have included that! Solidarity 💯 I heard Weir say that he didn’t realize so many high school kids would read his work, so for PHM he deliberately cut way down on the profanity! Good for him!
