Who is your favorite new-to-you author so far this year??
Wow. What a hard question. I would most likely have to say James Patterson. I have read almost all of his Maximum Ride novels and loved everyone of them. He is an amazing author. However there are a whole list of authors that I love also!
I cant wait to see what all your answers are. If you are interested in doing this hop then click the Crazy For Books link above!

Here is my entry:
Well here is my cat that we had to disect in Anatomy. I know it might be gross, but we had to choose the 10th folder, 8th picture so this is what I got.
This is a fun new meme I hope you all join!
The Life of a Sippy Cup Mom!, Mannland5 and The Adventures of Goober Grape and Monkey Man have teamed up to cohost Follow Me, Chickadee Fridays! Each week, simply stop by at any of these three blogs for a chance to link up and meet new and exciting bloggers out on the interwebz!
All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines:
Add a main link to your blog each week (Linky will open every Thursday night at 11 p.m. EST and close at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday mornings EST).
Follow the first three blogs in the # 1, 2, 3 spots.
Visit the blog above and below your listing and leave a *meaningful* comment. Something nice and shiney to make them smile. But make sure to tell them that you found them from Follow Me, Chickadee!
You don't have to follow every blog that follows you...but make sure that you follow the blogs that really interest you!
If you want to put the blog hop code or the Chickadee button on your Friday post on your blog, we welcome it!
Family friendly sites ONLY. The linky list will be monitored and anything not family friendly *will* be deleted. We don't want to see random naughty bits or something that would make our families cringe.
And the most important guideline? HAVE FUN! Make new friends, but keep the old...one is silver and the other's...ack, Girl Scouts memories shining through. Oh, and have a Happy Friday!
I love James Patterson's Alex Cross series. One of my favorites. Have a great hop!

Ashley, James Patterson is one of my faves for his thrillers, have not read the Maximum Ride books yet though... My taste runs more to the Women's Murder Club series books!
ReplyDeleteHopping over from Housewife Blues and Chihuahua Stories
jackie ^_^
I mentioned James Patterson too! He's written so many books I have no idea how I missed him. Crazy, right?
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the Maximum Ride books yet. I'm not a huge thriller fan, but I'd like to check them out. I think my husband would especially like them.
ReplyDeleteI love the Maximum Ride series- amazing! I've not read any of his mainstream stuff either. He sure gets a hold list at the library though.
ReplyDeleteStopping in via the hop.
I just started reading the Maximum Ride series - finished book 2 - and I was surprised by how much I like them as I'm not in to James Patterson at all.
ReplyDeleteGotta love the hop because it brings me to blogs like yours!
Hewo! I'm stopping by from Follow Friday! (Need I say I absolutely LOVE your background?)
ReplyDeleteOh! *GASP* And I LOVE the graphics you have for your rating system! Like OH MY GOD! Totally awesome. I feel this insane urge to copy those. GOD! Why didn't I ever think of something that clever!? (must consider this question carefully).
*cough* Anyways. Not The Point.
GREAT BLOG!
