This week's Top Ten Tuesday focuses on authors who are on our auto-buy list. Check out my choices:
1. Jenny Han- I fell in love with Han's writing when I read the Summer series and although I didn't LOVE Burn for Burn, I will always be a fan.
2. Sarah Dessen - I've read all but two of her books and I hope to remedy that this summer. Dessen is one of my favorite authors and has been for years. Her books are the epitome of what I like in a summer read.
3. Gayle Forman- Her books always make me feel so much. I will read anything she writes.
4. Philippa Gregory- She's the reason I love historical fiction.
5. Cynthia Hand- The Unearthly series is one of my favorite paranormal series and I can't wait to read Boundless.
6. Morgan Matson- After reading Second Chance Summer, Matson secured a spot on my favorite author list.
8. Michelle Hodkin- Only Michelle Hodkin's stellar writing can get me to read scary books.
9. Richelle Mead- She created Dimitri, one of my favorite male characters ever. I need to get caught up with her Bloodlines series. I guess I am still mourning the loss of Vampire Academy.
10. John Green- Ok, so I have only read two of his books, but after reading The Fault in Our Stars, I'll buy anything he writes. Seriously. He's that good. I plan on reading the rest of his novels as well.
So, there you have it! What about you? Which authors are on your auto-buy list? Let me know. Also, Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, so check it out! (Also, all pictures are from Goodreads.com)
Stephanie Perkins is on my list too, I'm almost finished with Lola and I just love her writing, and her characters. Totally forgot about Morgan Matson - I loved Amy & Roger but I still need to read Second Chance Summer!
ReplyDeleteI love Stephanie Perkins' characters as well. Anna and St. Clair are my favorite. Second Chance Summer is really good. I hope you get to read it soon. Thanks for visiting, Kit.
DeleteNice list! I see several authors I need to try.
ReplyDeletePhillipa Gregory should have made my top ten! I love her stories! (My list is http://apenandfire.com/?p=1271)
ReplyDeleteMe too. She is absolutely my favorite historical fiction author. Thanks for visiting, Cindy!
DeleteI really need to read some more Sarah Dessen! I think I am missing out on quite a lot of awesome. Gayle Forman almost made my list and John Green probably should have since The Fault in Our Stars is one of my all-time favorites. Great list! :)
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten
Sarah Dessen is FAB! You must get around to reading her son. I love TFIOS as well- it's brilliant! I can't wait to read more of Green's work.
DeleteCHRISTINA!!! I haven't read anything by the first 3 authors! That is absurd and I can't believe it. I feel like I shouldn't be allowed to call myself a book blogger! I of course adore Michelle Hodkin and Stephanie Perkins as well, both are such fabulous storytellers and I will forever and always buy anything they write:)
ReplyDeleteOMG! You haven't read any Dessen, Han or Forman? You need to read Dessen or Han this summer- perfect for a vacation and I think you would really like Gayle Forman. Thanks for visiting, Jenny!
DeleteYes to Dessen!! She's one of my absolute favorite writers. Mead's a great pick too - her books always rock.
ReplyDeleteFabulous top ten!
Thanks, Lea!
DeleteEven though I haven't read most of these authors, I keep seeing them on people's TTT lists. I guess that means I have some catching up to do, huh?
ReplyDeleteAs for John Green, I'm with you -- I've only read THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, but I loved it so much that I'm anxiously looking forward to enjoying the rest of his books.
Glad to have found you via TTT!
I want to read more of John Green's books as well. Looking for Alaska is next on my list. Thanks for visiting, Susan!
DeleteI've actually read most of these authors and adore them! I guess I need to get my hands on Second Chance Summer. Everyone is talking about it! I have her other book, but haven't read it yet...
ReplyDeleteHere is my TTT: http://thewhiteunicornfiction.blogspot.com/2013/02/top-ten-tuesday-3-auto-buy-authors.html
Second Chance Summer was my favorite summertime read last year. I loved it! Thanks for dropping by, Christianna.
DeleteThis is wonderful Christina, I am still not familiar with many American authors so you have given me a lot to look for, keep up the good work,Sally xx
ReplyDeleteStephanie Perkins is totally awesome! She's on my list, too. I cannot wait for Isla and the Happily Ever After!!!
ReplyDeleteI still have not read Vampire Academy. I definitely need to. Everyone raves about it.
I need to start reading Jenny Han's work! I was debating putting Cynthia Hand on my list and even though she's not in my "top ten" she is still on my list!
