My favourite Author.

As you can probably tell my favourite author is Heidi Swain. But some of you may ask why?
Well I’ve been an avid reader since I was young. I grew up reading some of the classics, Enid Blyton’s Famous Five and the Secret Seven, Roahld Dahl and Michael Bond to name a couple. These books I found would always make me picture myself in the scene, not so much as a main character but sort of if you like sitting on the shoulder of a main character or as they like to say like a fly on the wall almost. I found the same as I got older and I got into JK Rowling it was the same. Although I like a wide variety of authors Heidi is the top of the list, each of her books are heartwarming and it’s great to see them all linking together. My all time favourite is Poppy’s recipe for life although you will have to read it for yourself to see if you agree. The best News is Heidi going to be writing 4 more books.
