I've always thought that nothing written nowadays could compare to my most beloved classics but with starting my own blog and all the challenges I signed up for I am warming up to new writers and am pleasantly surprised. There are now quite a few that I am a fan of and can't wait for their next books.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127042690689033583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-40410680776243371622009-03-10T23:23:00.000-04:002009-03-10T23:23:00.000-04:00I love new authors, I've read at least 3 this year...I love new authors, I've read at least 3 this year.
