message 1503: by AF (last edited May 09, 2016 09:02PM) (new)

AF (slothlikeaf) Hello everyone! I live in Washington state. If I like a book, I usually find myself wanting to read everything by that author. Most recently I've read all by Gillian Flynn and Kristin Hannah. I am reading my way through the Pop Sugar reading challenge and love how it is opening up my reading style.

Rose | 1 comments Hello! I am Rose from Washington DC, and like many others I do not have a "favorite" author because I love such a huge variety of authors that picking one wouldn't make much sense. I just love that each is unique, which is what makes the reading experience beautiful, right? :)

message 1521: by Michelle (new)

Michelle | 1 comments Hello, my name is Michelle Johnston. I have lived all over the US but, right now I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I really do not have a favorite author. I suppose, I am inspired by many. Flannery O'Conner and Shirley Jackson are two from the past that come close in my mind. Today Toni Morrison may come in as one of my tops. If I read a powerful story, I am typically drawn in and will usually, read more of what they write or have written. I love great literature. I enjoy reading new and old alike.

message 1542: by Momm (new)

Momm  (smilingpg) | 2 comments Hi, all! I go by Momm Gill on here. I live in Columbus OH (Worthington area) and love nearly every genre of book. I agree with so many that it is hard to pick my favorite author, because I enjoy and look forward to so many. Examples: Laura Childs and her Indigo Tea mysteries, Kate Morton, Kristin Hannah--nearly everything she writes, Anthony Doerr, the Brontes, Louisa May Alcott, James Rollins, Jodi Picoult for current issues, Bill Bryson for humor+- A Walk In the Woods for starters, Lauren Hildebrand's books, esp. Seabiscuit and Unbroken, Gene Logsdon's Wyeth People, and so on. I love the book I'm reading (most of the time!).....

message 1548: by Michele (new)

Michele Paynter | 17 comments Hello My Fellow Oprah Book Club Members!
My name is Michele. I am originally from Maryland, however, for quite some time, I have made Kansas City, MO my home. It's a lot slower in the city's pace than is my original home.

I am excitedly joining this book club, hoping to exchange thoughts and interpretations of a great book well read and appreciated. It is difficult to limit my favorite author to just one. The authors' books I read time and time again include: Charlotte Bronte, Maya Angelou, Anita Shreve, Charles Dickens, James Baldwin and Marita Golden. Books are my most treasured companions, and I am greatly looking forward to interacting with other book enthusiasts!
