&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I decided that in this first post, I would simply list some of my favorite authors.&amp;nbsp;Then I thought it would be fun to&amp;nbsp;open the floor for all of you to let us all know what your favorite authors and books are. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I love series. 8, 10 or 12&amp;nbsp;books that basically tell one long story are the best. My favorite authors include: &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Servant-Bones-Anne-Rice/dp/0963192566?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=theinde-20&amp;amp;link_code=btl&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969" target="_blank"&gt;Anne Rice&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=theinde-20&amp;amp;l=btl&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=0963192566" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gunslinger-Dark-Tower-Book/dp/0452284694?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=theinde-20&amp;amp;link_code=btl&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969" target="_blank"&gt;Stephen King&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=theinde-20&amp;amp;l=btl&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=0452284694" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Semper-Fi-Corps-Book-1/dp/0515087491?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=theinde-20&amp;amp;link_code=btl&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969" target="_blank"&gt;W.E.B.

I just love to read. When a book is well written,&amp;nbsp;I lose myself in the story. With some stories I even find myself thinking in the way the characters speak. With &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/STEPHEN-GUNSLINGER-DRAWING-WIZARD-SUSANNAH/dp/B001E0MFZ8?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=theinde-20&amp;amp;link_code=btl&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969" target="_blank"&gt;Stephen Kings Dark Tower Series&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=theinde-20&amp;amp;l=btl&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B001E0MFZ8" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, I even catch myself using words and phrases from the books, out loud. Let me tell you, people who have never read that series give me some very strange looks. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;That's enough about me for now. I hope that in the weeks and months ahead that we get to know each other well and can help each other find new and exciting books that, maybe we wouldn't have found or even thought of reading on our own.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So, here you go, these are the questions for you to answer:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Who is your &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;favorite&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; author and why?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What is your &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;all time&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; favorite book?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;one sentence&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; tell us what makes it your all time favorite.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt; no more than 3 sentences&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, tell us who you are and what you're about.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;There you go, get to work,&amp;nbsp;Remember, the point of this is so we can get to know each other and make sure to have fun with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until we meet again, I look forward to hearing from you...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4600433378755746499-8290397912949353844?l=thebookreports.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
