I have so many 'favorite authors' and am trying to read a lot of the classics but, lately, I've been reading several of Jojo Moyes books - seems like one of her books is always on my 'waiting list' at the library. The first one of hers I read was "Me Before You" and I was hooked. She is so good at getting you to know and like her characters.debbowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068914403376748330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720424838192854331.post-235686678401216822016-06-24T22:45:19.039+01:002016-06-24T22:45:19.039+01:00Hi Abigail!

I...I love your quilts, Abigail, and your story.<br /><br />I'm an avid reader, too, so "favorite author" moves around a lot. My tastes range all over the map from fantasy and sci-fi to cozy mysteries and on rare occasions a romantic thriller. Of late, I've had a thing for the cozies - especially those that involve needlework, baking, cooking, or vintage stuff. Or all of the above! Victoria Hamilton's vintage kitchen mysteries are a favorite.
