Sylvia Cassedy

*****

I didn't discover a lot of new authors because I was too busy reading books by some authors that I already knew and that I greatly admire. But if you read books all the time, you'll end up discovering new authors.The ones I discovered are: C. S. Lewis, Susan Coolidge, E. Nesbit, Joshua Doder and Virginia Sorensen. I liked all their books a lot! Maybe you should try them too!
