Judge, Book, Different

Stana Katic

Great, Parents, Try

Fiction will always be my greatest love, with poetry close behind.
J. Courtney Sullivan

Character development is what I value most as a reader of fiction. If an author can manage to create the sort of characters who feel fully real, who I find myself worrying about while I'm walking through the grocery store aisles a week later, that to me is as close to perfection as it gets.
J. Courtney Sullivan

Character, Real, Through

Tulsi Gabbard

Few, Soldiers, Iraq

Tulsi Gabbard

Working, Between, Religious

Bryan Robson

Said, Board, Sacrificed

Fantasy for me as a kid was real, and I had a fantasy about what life was, whether it was sort of wicked and dire, or wholly normal, or whatever. Anything really close to home is not, it seems to me, what a good book should be about.

Faith Evans

Time, God, Beautiful
