Anna James

I love the fact that her stories are all about other people's books and she takes the idea of bringing in other peoples ideas into your work to a whole other level. Her characters are really funny and the main characters are so different yet also similar to each other and you can also get lots of other reccomendations for books which appear throughout the book.
