Friday Five: Writers

It started with a bang, my Friday Five.

But then winter hit and it took a dive.

I stopped rhyming and my life turned gray.

It's clear now I need to spout lyrics every day. 

This Friday's post is about Writers I like. 

I'll start with Tehereh Mafi, who wrote about a psych....o

Her main character was in a mental institution, 

But when she met hottie-o-soldier, she found restitution. (No judging, it's a good rhyme.)

Then there's Marissa, who wrote the book Cinder, 

A fractured fairytale about a girl who never carries tinder, 

But instead works as a mechanic on robots and junk,

She's smart, and pretty, but her foot is a piece of clunk. 

I'm excited about Unearthly author, Cynthia Hand.

She finally wrote the sequel, Hallowed, and it's on my bed stand. 

Then there's an veteran, Mrs. Lois Lowry

Author of The Giver, her writing is clean and not flowery.

Last I love a newbie, who'll be publishing next year,

Peggy Eddleman is her name, go give her a cheer!
