These are my LibraryThing authors and the books I own/have read:
Randy Alcorn (RandyAlcorn) Deadline
Meg Waite Clayton (megwaiteclayton) Wednesday Sisters
David Ebershoff (Debershoff) The 19th Wife (read my review)
Mary E. Pearson (MaryEPearson) Adoration of Jenna Fox (TBR)

Melissa Walker (mewalker) Violet on the Runway, Violet by Design, Violet in Private (read my reviews)
Bill Walsh (wfwalsh) Lapsing into a Comma
Sara Zarr (sarazarr) Sweethearts (read my review)
I commented on Sara's page to tell her that I reviewed Sweethearts and she commented on mine with a thank you. Jayne invited me to join the Algonquin Readers Round Table. Meg thanked me for reviewing her book on LT. Michelle commented here on my blog and Melissa comes around here every now and then and comments.
I do think it's quite a nice feature and fun to see what books authors are reading.
What about you? Do authors ever comment on your blog or LT page?

So, because Dawn (and I am sure a few others) missed Emmy last week, here she is in all her book loving glory:
I've had to push all the books back because her favorite trick was to jump behind the books and send them crashing down to the floor. As you can see, I love all those "The Art of

Wow! I'm impressed! I only have 2 authors on LT. I have another one on Good Reads, and I have had one author comment on my blog.
I don't have any of you LT Authors!
I agree with you that it's a fun feature. I always like to know what the authors I read are reading. It's nice that they've commented on you page to thank you.
Emmy's quite a little stinker! :-D I'm currently battling "get off the table!" and "Get out of the clean laundry basket!" right now with my kitties. Fur-children make life so much more interesting, don't they?
I only have 2 LT authors so far, and neither of them really keeps up with cataloging or reviewing their books, though I'd love it if they did. Whenever I attend author signings (or when I host them at work), I always like to ask what they're reading. I think it's very telling.
Hey I read Farwold. I just posted my review. I didn't put in any spoilers. I did my interview with Mr. Savage. I'm making it into a podcast.
What a great picture of Emmy! My cat was always doing that too and so I had to push the books back as well.
This was a fun LT question. I hadn't taken a look at the author's list in awhile and was surprised by how many books by LT authors I own. Eventually I will be able to say I've read them all too. :-)
Love - love the photo!
Emmy is super cute! I also like those "art of" type books, I think they're interesting and nice to look at - good for displaying.
For me, authors tend to comment on/email regarding my blog rather than on LibraryThing.
such a cute cat! i love the pictures. as for authors posting on my blog...i've had a couple every now and then like melissa walker, stephanie kuehnert, kelly parra, etc.
It's quite fun!

Authors have commented on my blog, but I still need to build my LT collection. I've been working most on Goodreads.
Emmy is SO adorable. But aren't kitties a pain in the tush sometimes? Abby is way too athletic and climbs EVERYWHERE!
Love the kitty pic :)
It's great to see so many authors on LT now. I hope they keep joining!
Emmy is adorable, she looks very mischievous. I have a few LT authors but I really haven't taken that much time to look at the feature.
I looked and do no have any authors in my library yet, but I am looking forward to checking out some of the ones on your list.
What a gorgeous cat! She is so adorable.
I have only two LT authors, 2.5 if you count one I listed, but haven't yet read :)
Thanks for the pic of Emmy!
