Checks over Wulf's list

Okay, I see fourteen that I like, so I think I just found myself a reading list.

Anthony Horowitz (my all time fav, Alex Rider series, Gatekeeper series),

I so second that! I just started reading some of his series and out of all the non manga I've read, his are fav reads! Especially the Gatekeeper Series. 😀

Ahh there are no specific authors that I like. I used to read all those books like Artemis Fowl, Young Bond etc. but I don't anymore. So I can't really say they're my fav authors if you see what I mean 🤣

I read a lot of books, but not because of the author. There is one author that stood out to me though, and that was Sebastian Faulks. Birdsong was a very powerful book 😃 I also read his attempt at the James Bond book - Devil May Care. I actually really liked it.

I used to really like Enid Blyton when I was young as well. Famous Five FTW 🤣 Ahh so many memories

I absolutely needed to condense this one, despite how guilty I feel for leaving so many beloved authors out...
Garth Nix
Lovecraft
Peter S Beagle
Meredith Ann Pierce
GB Shaw
Anne Rice

And, sincerely, a whole mob of other authors I love undyingly.

Franz Kafka
Vladimir Nabokov (particularly Pale Fire)
Dante Alighieri

Probably the top 3 these days, but I devour quite a few books every week, so it depends a bit on my mood. Lately I've been enjoying Kita Morio's small collection of works quite a bit as well. Yuurei was excellent.

and on a slightly lighter end, I do enjoy Murakami Haruki, Geroge RR Martin, and Douglas Adams quite a bit.

I've been reading a lot lately, and I would like to add Albert Camus, Thomas Mann and Jean-Paul Sartre.

Let's see here:

Scott Westerfeld:
Being the scifi-nerd that I am, I can't help but love his works <3.
Anyways, PEEPS (and I love the fact that he actually RESEARCHED for his vampires around unlike a certain someone but I digress) and MIDNIGHTERS were my favorite. Right now I'm reading LEVIATHAN and I really like it <3.
I still have to read the UGLIES series, and find his old, out-of-print books <.<...

Sarah Dessen:
JUST LISTEN is my favorite by her, and THIS LULLABY is a close second. I've read all of them thus far. And the only one I don't really like is That Summer and Someone Like You.

LJ Smith:
Loved the NIGHTWORLD series. Liked the Vampire Diaries series (but hate the TV show, blech.) But I need to read the second series. The Secret Circle is on a somewhat-haitus right now. And I'm currently reading (on and off) Dark Visions. I hope they also do a reprint of the Forbidden Game (it sounds interesting.)

Lauren Henderson:
For "Kiss Me, Kill Me" and "Kisses and Lies" while I have not read all of the sequel yet, I plan to.
I think the rest of her books are adult novels, so I'm probably not going to read them.

Ellen Schreiber:
For Vampire Kisses (mostly, it's cliche, but it's cute XD).
And Teenage Mermaid (I found it funny <.<...)

(Honorable Mention, I guess)
Pete Hautman:
But only for "Sweetblood". I was indifferent to the Invisible, and I tried to read Godless but I had to stop, it was godawful.

[and Stephen King will probably be on here soon, if and when I finally start to read Salem's Lot. I tried to read the beginning of the Shining once, but it was so boring <.<...shot.]
