Welcome to Top 10 Tuesday! This week’s topic is Thankful Freebie. I’ve chosen 10 Authors I’m Thankful For (and Why). These aren’t in any specific order, but if I had to choose, I think that I’d be the most thankful for JK Rowling. Special thanks to  @ThatArtsyReaderGirl who hosts TTT. Let’s get to it!
