Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
I am very pleased that you showed Margaret Atwood at the head of the list! You probably know this, but in case not, she is a dedicated birder, as was her late husband, Graeme Gibson.

Such a great list! I would love to meet Mo Willems and see what he is like in person. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou've met a lot. That's very cool.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely to see. I haven't met any, but maybe someday I can retire and go to a convention or two and meet a couple. After all, readers need writers!
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to go to book launches and meet up with the authors. So much fun!
