In answer to the Alternative Read blog hop question, 'In your opinion, who are the best bestselling and worst authors out there?'
I'll start with the worst (that way I can end on a positive - lol!). My current grouse is against anyone who writes self-help books on 'how to get fit in two days and lose half your body weight' Are they sanctimonious or is it me who is tetchy? The latter, probably.
However, I am a little peeved to have accumulated more extra pounds in weight than I care to admit at a time of year when I should be shedding it. So what should I do? Not lie down and read a book, that's for sure.
In fact, perhaps that is how it all started. Holiday reading this year has been a delight and I have immersed myself in novels by such authors as Wendy Holden, Catherine Alliott , Maeve Binchy and Bill Bryson to name but a few. So are they the best authors ever? No. But they are all light and entertaining - ideal holiday reading - even if they have a lot to answer for (Yes, I'm back to the weight issue! Well, I can't blame myself for inactivity, can I?)
So to answer the question and name the best bestselling author. Oh dear, I'm afraid I can't. There are just so many great authors out there. Sorry!
