From Huskies To Husbands

This has been floating around the bloggersphere for a while now.  Since I love to read so much and always have since I was very young I thought it the perfect thing to do.  I am including some authors that are from my childhood as well as more recent favorites.  This list for me isn’t about the best technical writing or the most popular even, instead it is about authors that write books that take you there and make you unable to put the book down and just can’t wait for the next installment to come out already.  The list is in no particular order just in case you were wondering.  I hope you enjoy my list and maybe find a new author to try on for size.
