Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Authors (or books by authors) Who Live In My State. I’m including some authors who are no longer living, but who are certainly very much associated with my (adopted) home state of California!
Although I’m not a native, I’ve been living in California for almost all of my adult life — so it’s home! Here are a selection of books by authors who either live or lived in California. I love my literary neighbors!
Featured authors:
- Jasmine Guillory
- John Steinbeck
- Gail Carriger
- Armistead Maupin
- Daniel Handler
- Nina Lacour
- Isabel Allende
- Taylor Jenkins Reid
- Ray Bradbury
- Lisa See
It actually was a bit of a challenge to come up with my list this week — I had to do a bit of fact-checking to make sure that authors who I thought live/lived in California actually did! Did anyone else struggle with this week’s prompt?
