Favorite Authors Each Year
The Homepage, Poetry & Artwork of Steven R. McEvoy
and other lists of books read and movies seen.
This is my homepage but most of my web presence is on my blog, Book Reviews and More. It is a collection of my published and unpublished writing, mostly book reviews, with a few articles and reflection's. If you want to poke around here the key sections are Poetry, Artwork, and Lists or return Home.
​
These are my favourite authors by year. Usually only picked if I have read 3 or more works by the author. Links lead to my reviews and articles about the authors. For all Lists click here.
