Challenge: Show an Author Some Love hosted by Katie @ Doing Dewey

Bout of Books is such a fantastic way to interact with and support other bloggers, I thought it would be nice to share that love with our favorite authors too. As described on the Bout of Books site, you can tweet about an author you love using the hashtag #showauthorlove. You can also share in the comments one thing you have done to show an author some love today, whether that’s writing a blog post about an suthor you love or following an author on social media.

I figured I should use the opportunity this challenge provides me to update my following of some favorite authors on social media, since I totally suck at that. So I ended up visiting the following authors' Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr pages, if they had one, and proceeded to follow them, if I hadn't already. I did check a few more authors, but haven't listed them since I already followed them in these three social platforms.
