25 Authors

Ms. Regina tagged me with this little meme…good thing too, because I was about to jack it from someone and do it on my own!

I started reading at age 3, and since then you probably will not see me without a book in my hand. I’m one of those folks who carries a book wherever she goes, just in case I have to wait and there is a chance that I get to read a couple of lines. I love a good book, and if I find an author that I like, well…I read soak up everything they write.

With that said, here is my list, in no particular order:

1. Alice Walker
2. Bebe Moore Campbell
3. Laura Ingalls Wilder (don’t laugh; I loved Little House on the Prairie)
4. C. S. Lewis
5. Judy Blume
6. Alex Haley
7. Terry McMillan
8. Roderick O. Solomon
9. Maya Angelou
10. Michael Eric Dyson
11. Pearl Cleage
12. E. Lynn Harris
13. Toni Morrison
14. Nikki Giovanni
15. Sapphire
16. Tananarive Due
17. Colin Channer
18. Tina McElroy Ansa
19. Octavia Butler
20. Iceberg Slim
21. James Baldwin
22. Richard Wright
23. Ralph Ellison
24. Zora Neale Hurston
25. Edwidge Danticat

This was harder than it looked! I started and ended up with 42! What whittling I had to do…anywho, I’ve seen this on many a blog, so I’m not tagging anyone. Take it if you wish!

Stay real…
