Bubbles and Books

What author(s), no matter what they write, do you buy their books? This week's topic of conversation was inspired by bookstagrammer Megan, @The_Spines. She recently did a reel of authors she will always buy their work. Ellyn & Amanda discuss which authors are on their list. Share with us who your auto-buy authors are!
