Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week there is a new topic for bloggers to choose and list their top ten. This week’s theme is Top TEN Authors that I Love!
First, I want to say that I’m currently trying to catch up! I had a pretty intense week last week and I was away from my blog. I had posts that were scheduled and I believe I’m caught up on replying back to all the comments. I am now trying to catch up on everyone else’s posts. ❤
This was supposed to be books that I still haven’t read by authors that I love. Well, I don’t even have enough for 5. If I love an author, I read any and all by them! So, I’m going with 10 authors that I love!
1. Fredrik Backman
I randomly found his book, A Man Called Ove on Netgalley one day. It sounded interesting and it was a “Read Now.” What?! Yeah, guys. Backman used to be a “Read Now” author on Netgalley. haha.
My favorite book: I actually have two for this one. AMCO beats out Beartown but only by a little bit!
2. Sarah J. Maas
I’m definitely a bigger fan of the Throne of Glass series. I don’t know which is my favorite, it’s been a while since I’ve read most of them. I think either Crown of Midnight or Heir of Fire are my favorite out of the series.
3. Cassandra Clare
I know a lot of people either hate or love the TMI. I love it. It really opened me up to YA fantasy and I just love the whole Angel vs. Demon aspect. Plus, Magnus Bane <3.
My favorite book: Oh gosh… I’m going with Lady Midnight! This book was fantastic!
4. Marissa Meyer
If you haven’t read The Lunar Chronicles, you are missing out! My favorite book would be..
I have not read Renegades yet. This would have been one of the few for the original post topic.
5. Holly Black
I still have to read a few of her books but oh well. My favorite book by her so far is…
I know, I’m cheating.. it hasn’t come out yet but I loved this one so much. I had to choose it.
6. Kristin Hannah
I haven’t read all of her books but I’ve read a good amount. I have loved so many of them but she’s got a lot. I haven’t loved them all. I will still read anything she releases.
My favorite: I’m choosing two here because they are both exceptional.
7. Liane Moriarty
I will read anything she puts out. I was disappointed with her last book. It’s okay though because they can’t all be winners.
My favorite book:
8. J.K. Rowling
I’m literally just adding her for the Harry Potter series. I’m not picking a favorite either. Okay, I guess I’ll pick one of my favorites. 🙂
9. Colleen Hoover
I love, love the Slammed series. I know that I’ve talked about it a lot lately. I also really enjoy so many of her other books. I’ve read all but 2, I believe. I met her last month and she’s pretty cool!
My favorite book: I’m putting the whole series here.
10. Jay Kristoff
I’ve read the Illuminae Files that he did with Kaufman. I also read The Nevernight Chronicles and LifeL1K3. It’s official that I love him!
My favorite book:
Honorable Mention: Victoria Schwab
I’ve read 4 of her books over the last two months and I loved them. She is definitely going to be added to the auto-buy!
My favorite book:
Alright… So, there’s 10 of my favorite authors, in no particular order. Also, I know there are more but my brain is pretty fried today. Do you love any of these authors?! I would love to know your thoughts!
Such a great list!! We’ve got such similar tastes in books I know I can rely on you for a good recommendation… I really, really, really need to read Nevernight… oh, and The Cruel Prince… 😀

I don’t know whether I want to read Renegades yet. I’m scared nothing will live up to the Lunar Chronicles.

I tend to get obsessed and want to read everything by them. There’s a couple on the list that I haven’t read all of their books but only a couple. It was not enough to make a whole list from!

Awesome list! I still have to check out Beartown. Since it’s got hockey I figure it’s mandatory reading requirement for every Canadian. 😀 And I was a little iffy about Nevernight because of the hype, but I’ve heard so many good things about it so I’ve decided to check it out!
LikeLiked by 1 person
Haha- Yeah, you totally need to get on that one! Beartown is really good. I wasn’t sure how I would like a book about hockey but it’s about so much more! 🙂 Ohhhh, yeah I felt the same. I read it though and it’s hyped for a great reason. Nevernight and Godsgrave are so good!

As usual, I share most of these authors too

J.K. Rowling and Liane Moriarty are both on my list today! I could have put Kristin Hannah on my list, too, if I’d thought of her. I adored THE NIGHTINGALE and I really liked THE GREAT ALONE. I haven’t read THE WINTER GARDEN or a lot of her others, so I definitely need to catch up. Thanks for the reminder!
Happy TTT!

I love Marissa Meyer but I have only read her Lunar Chronicles.I also love Cassandra Clare but I don’t plan to read the series about Emma and Julian. I don’t really know about Holly Black though because I have only read one of her books. I loved Sarah J Maas’ books last year but now not so much. I’m not that exited over Kindom of Ash anymore and Nesta ruined ACOTAR for me so I’m not going to continue ACOTAR.

Aw, I’m sorry that you are not a fan of ACOTAR! I actually liked Nesta.. I do prefer the Throne of Glass series though.
