Comments on: Favourite novels…They were all written by someone! http://9engf.edublogs.org/2007/10/10/favourite-novelsthey-were-all-written-by-someone/ Another excellent Edublogs.org blog Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:28:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: 9engf http://9engf.edublogs.org/2007/10/10/favourite-novelsthey-were-all-written-by-someone/#comment-42 9engf Mon, 29 Oct 2007 01:49:35 +0000 http://9engf.edublogs.org/2007/10/10/favourite-novelsthey-were-all-written-by-someone/#comment-42 I love the fact that people are able to note how they came across a new author who they love. Sometimes its word of mouth (and there is certainly enough of that in 9engf!) and at other times it is through displays at libraries or other forms of recommendation. Carolyn, my wife participates in a book club which meets once a month after the members reading a particular novel in theory to discuss this book. So far the shared book has generally been less than popular but has lead to discussions about other books that have been a great read: a sort of laterally moving literature circle. How do you find new authors??? I love the fact that people are able to note how they came across a new author who they love.

I have only read one of her books, The Moonlit Cage. from the first paragraph i was hooked. I couldn't put the book down! I think I loved this book because of the story, and the way that it was written. The way that Linda Holeman Described the places, people and feelings in the story were truly beautiful.

Sarah dessen is the best teenage author, i havn't read a better book by a different writer. lyv my absolute favourite author is Sarah Dessen! i can relate to everything her characters are thinking. maybe not the experiences but definitly what is going through their minds at certain times. i have read about seven of her books and i am constantly trying to find more, i get hooked on one of her books and can put it down. i get so wrapped up in the characters lives i nearly feel like im them. i reccomend them to people.
