  1. I’d have to say that my favorite author right now is Diana Gabaldon. I loved the Outlander series.

  3. It’s hard for me to pick one favorite author, but I’m going to say Barbara Kingsolver.

    I’m not sure if it counts as a follower, but I subscribe in Google Reader.

  4. My favorites are Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child (when they work together)

    I’m a follower!

  5. I’m going to say Sara Shepard– it was her series “Pretty Little Liars” that got me into reading. Her books are addictive, mysterious, and SO easy to read. 🙂

    I subscribe by e-mail. I don’t see a follower button…so…unless you mean RSS?

    Tweet tweet: http://twitter.com/cc9309/status/19345420531

  6. Oh right. I kind of forgot that PLL is part of this giveaway. I don’t have any of the series, so I’d be ecstatic if I won. &, well, all those books are in my TBR/wishlist.

    Got Books is great! Does it seem like July has been a giveaways blowout in the book blogging community?

  7. My favorite author is Patricia Briggs! Thanks for the contest!

    This prize pack looks phenomenal! Thanks!

  13. Great giveaway! I don’t have a favorite, but right now I am loving Andrea Cremer 🙂

  37. My favorite author ever is hard to pick. I love so many for so many different reasons. Overall, though…I think I’d have to pick Janet Evanovich. She managers to take something somewhat ordinary and makes it absolutely hilarious! Plus, her Stephanie Plum series has not one, but two very hot guys. What more could a girl ask for?
