When I was little, I used to read quite often, but once I got into high school I became extremely busy and just found other things to do in my spare time. I kicked reading to the curb, not seeing any importance or interest in it, but I have decided to start reading recently. But even still, I do not exactly have one favorite author, so I will talk about a few of them. I started reading the Harry Potter series when I was in 4th grade, and I fell in love with the creative and imaginative writings of J.K. Rowling. I love how she creates a fantasy type world, but still makes it seem so realistic. There are 7 books in the Harry Potter series, and there are so many ideas and plots that tie into each other, and she writes in a way that makes you attached and able to envision the characters. Her imagination for the books just leaves me in awe.
Much like the Harry Potter series, I absolutely loved Lemony Snicket’s A series of Unfortunate Events, which include a total of thirteen books! And yes, I have read them all! I love how Snicket makes the books such a mystery, and every time you think you have it all figured out, he throws a twist. It was rarely ever what you expected would happen, and that always kept me on the edge of my seat, wanting to keep reading. He is such a clever author. Every time I read a new book, I couldn’t even imagine trying to think of all of it and tying it all together. His way of writing just always fascinated me.
The last two authors somewhat fall in the same category. R.L. Stine and Stephen King are both authors I really like for their frightening and scary sense of imagination. During middle school, I always read the Fear Street books by R.L. Stine. I wasn’t much into his Goosebump books, but I probably read all of his Fear Street ones. He never made them too long which was nice, but they were so suspenseful and I loved how he let you try to figure out the suspect or how everything was happening. I’ve never actually read any Stephen King books, but I’ve seen many movies based on his books, and I love his somewhat twisted imagination and unusual plot lines. People a lot of times think of him as creepy and sick, but I find his story lines intriguing and interesting.
