This month I challenge you to share one of your favourite authors every day. As an additional challenge also share a song that connects in some way with that author.

As I mostly do, I’m featuring a favorite book instead of author. To me, favorite author means I get all their books and wish for more. If I like one book by an author, that doesn’t make them a favorite author, though the book might be.

I just noticed a couple of things. First, today is International Dog Day! Funny I’d already planned these books for today and I didn’t even know it was a special day. Another thing I noticed, both authors have the same initials. Just saw that! JS & JS 🙂 and … they both had black poodle dogs!

I am featuring this author because I’ve read most all of her books. It was a long time ago, but I do remember how much I liked them.
