Lérowen's Challenge - Days Eleventy-Twelve

Day 11: Your favorite female author.


I think picking the male was easier than this, and when does that happen? I have to hold to my "rule" for picking favorite authors in that I have to have read more than one of their single books or series'.

But right now, I'm obsessed with Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games.  (Though I've only read the first installment.)  The first person / present tense style works perfectly, and...and...this book is just amazingly written.  :D  Read it now.



To go back to my rule, though, Shannon Hale is very good.

Her Books of Bayern series are all right, but Princess Academy and her new graphic novel are what I love the best.



Click on the link above to read my review of this book! It's fabulous.





The drawings are beautiful in this graphic novel, and I love the Wild West spin on Rapunzel's story.  I can't wait to read its sequel, Calamity Jack.

Shannon Hale has a rich writing style, and weaves deep themes into her stories.


Day 12: A song about writing or books.


This song isn't about writing directly, but I find it very inspiring.
