Tweeting my tweeps

For this assignment I decided to choose my two favorite authors who are Stephen King and Jodi Picoult.

I enjoy reading Stephen King’s novels because they are suspenseful and captivating.  I once read an article by him that said he writes of the things that scare him, some of the things he’s apparently scared of are crazy things that I never even thought of as being scary.  The way he writes, like jumping back and forth from different people and places in his story, builds suspense throughout the novel.  He is a great author and it shows, he can juggle all the different parts of his story and it still makes sense as he wraps it all up in the end.

What I really enjoy about Jodi is that she writes true stories about people who have debilitating illnesses, or about victims of violent actions, taking the reader through the trials and tribulations of what they went through in the court rooms, or dealing with day to day life without their loved ones.  These books really knife through the outer shells that we have imposed, and touch our hearts in ways previously unperceived, allowing us a glimpse into the softer side of ourselves.
