November 19 - Thankful for: Writers

I love to read, watch tv and movies and appreciate good writing talent. My current fav authors are: Vince Flynn, David Baldacci, Lisa Scottoline, Harlan Coben, Patricia Cornwall and lots of chick-lit authors and generally anytime someone says: you HAVE to read this - I will.  


I like shows like Law & Order, Revenge, The Tudors, Big Love, Seifeld, Frasier, etc.  Shows with good writing. 


I don't understand all of the trash reality shows when there has got to be a gabillion young (and old) writers just waiting to be discovered, waiting for their break. I think it's a shame that the entertainment is now Snookie (or maybe their  30 mins of fame is over) and that Judge Judy makes $45 MILLION a year while a Supreme Court Justice makes $214,000 a year. 


I am thankful for talented writers (and that includes you).

  1. Amen to that! I loathe reality tv! Harlen Coben is one of my faves too. We better not talk books next weekend or I will have you drowning in suggestions!

  2. I LOVE chick-lit! And Harlan Coben is one of my fav fictional crime novelists. Have you read anything by Jennifer Crusie? If not, I'm sending you a package! Lemme know. :)

  4. Seriously! The fact that a "Snookie" is rich AND famous is a real tragedy.
