If you enjoy reading crime and mystery novels, you will love Gillian Flynn. She is known for her best-selling book, Gone Girl, which recently graced the silver screen and even garnered a few Oscar nominations.

Number Three: Alice Clayton.
Alice Clayton is an author who is known for the Cocktail series. Her books are also categorized under “Chick Lit.” The Cocktail series consists of five books about a young group of girlfriends going through life and trying to find Mr. Right along the way. Clayton’s writing is quirky and honest, while also managing to come off as genuine. These aren’t your typical cheesy romance novels. This series is smart, witty and is the perfect fun read for a twenty-something woman.
Number Four: Mara Leveritt.
Mara Leveritt is an Arkansas-based reporter best known as the author of Devil’s Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three. This crime novel is nonfiction and based on the infamous West Memphis Three, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jesse Misskelly.

Emily Kokidko was born March 27th, 1996 in Newton, Massachusetts. Always an expressive child, she enjoyed making up characters and stories with her friends and family. Though she long had a strong desire to act, she officially began her journey her junior year of high school.

Also during her late high school years, she was an extra in the film "Tumbledown", which enticed her to explore film acting.
Harlequin Enterprises has been able to capture 80% of the series romance market. Our great existing strategy (see exhibit 1) has allowed us to be the biggest player in the series romance market. Now we face the opportunity to capture a rapidly growing market of single-title women 's fiction novels. I recommend that Harlequin aggressively pursue the single-title market, using its extensive back list collection to reissue novels by best-selling authors.

I found all of them; her different series and her novels. All together, she has thirty-seven but out of her thirty-seven books I only want to read sixteen; excluding Crank, Glass and Fallout all of which I have already read and am reading at this moment. Four of her series, all having two books in each, three of which are stand-alone books, but also two more which are novels. I really enjoy reading her books because they are not only interesting, but true but also they are exceedingly relatable. Ellen Hopkins has inspired me to read more young adult non-fiction because they can be so true and enjoyable, but at the same time, possibly wretchedly relatable, but also reading her books I have figured out it is good to read these types of books because it shows that everyone goes through tough points in their life.

The case study that sticks out when I think about knowledge is our first case study that focuses on the question of who owns knowledge. When it comes to who owns knowledge we have to keep in mind what type of knowledge is available.

The target audience of the article is teenagers to young adults as they use vocabulary that can easily be understood by the younger generations. Most of the information is gathered through the novels and other works of the members of the Lost Generation and is strongly credible as the article bases its factual interpretations based on primary sources. The article covers multiple members of the groups, addressing the topic while covering both literature and art aspects, the great war, its symbolism and the aftermath. The source is valuable as it offers a deeper understanding of Ernest Hemingway, his beliefs and the connection that he holds to the “Lost Generation”. No exact date is provided in the article but as it deals with a topic that came into light almost a century ago, the source is still considered to be accurate.
