In our (well, my) efforts to organise the world into groups of ten, I’ve collected a group of ten popular authors sourced from the books you told us were your favourites. I thought I’d add some awards as well, since there were some cool choices.
The Nostalgia Award for Making People Want to Learn to Sail
Swallows and Amazons, by Arthur Ransome
The Yay For Original Fantasy Award* [I'm allowed to be biased]
Howl’s Moving Castle, by Diana Wynne Jones
The Zombie-Free Classic Novel Award
Emma, by Jane Austen
The Fang Award
Alex Duval, Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, Stephenie Meyer, Scott Westerfeld…
Here’s the 10 (in library order):
- Meg Cabot
- Orson Scott Card
- Malorie Blackman
- Anthony Horowitz
- John Marsden
- Stephenie Meyer
- Robert Muchamore
- James Patterson
- Tamora Pierce
- J K Rowling
Is your favourite author not on this list? If you feel so moved then comment and defend their marvellousness.
* This was difficult. So many good books.
