The Booking Through Thursday question of the week:
Do you read any author’s blogs? If so, are you looking for information on their next project? On the author personally? Something else?
*******
Well, I read Lois Lowry's blog
and if Madeline L'Engle were alive and had a blog, I'd read that one. Before there were blogs she published a set of her journals, "The Crosswicks Journals" and I read them and loved them.
from Wikipedia:
L'Engle wrote many nonfiction works, including the autobiographical "Crosswick Journals" and other explorations of the subjects of faith and art. For L'Engle, who wrote repeatedly about "story as truth," the distinction between fiction and memoir was sometimes blurred. Real events from her life and family history made their way into some of her novels, while fictional elements, such as assumed names for people and places, can be found in her published journals
I don't know why, but I am obsessed with L'Engle. Obsessed, I tell you. I love everything about her.
My question is this: why does someone get "obsessed" with an author? I don't know why I love her so much. But I do.
I guess I loved her philosophy of life.
AND...her husband was Dr. Charles Tyler on "All my Children". LOL Remember him? Okay...yes, I'm old....half a century this summer.
I got off track...AGAIN.
No, I don't read many author blogs, I only have one that I keep up on and that is Lois Lowry's. She of course is a YA author. I love the "Coming of Age" genre` and while I don't read as much YA as I used to, I keep up on Lowry.
Other than that, the short answer is "no."
(now I feel like I should check out some of the author's blogs, recommended by other BTT bloggers, but I'm afraid. Afraid I'll become addicted. ~sigh~ oh what to do?)

I don't read many author's blogs either anymore. I do follow one, though. Happy BTT.
Now I'll have to go check out Lois Lowry's!
lol! That was a great answer.
I don't read author blogs at all, but I love M. L'Engle's work. My favorite of hers is Summer of the Great Grandmother. My absolute favorite. Her work is fabulous.
