So I just randomly took a poll on the tweets and asked everyone:
Twitter, name one author you will read ANYTHING by. Don't even have to know what the book is about.. it's just a given.
Holy wow at the response! I was worried I may break the tweets. But.... I didn't. We can all breath again.
So what's the consensus you ask? Well here are the authors that were mentioned:
- John Green
- Sarah Dessen
- Richelle Mead
- Jennifer Echols
- Stephanie Perkins
- Melina Marchetta
- Jennifer L. Armentrout
- Jeri Smith-Ready
- J.K. Rowling
- David Levithan
- Courtney Summers
- Simone Elkeles
- Patrick Ness
- Suzanne Young
- Trish Doller
- Veronica Rossi
- Melissa Marr
- Gayle Forman
- Rachel Vincent
- Kelley Armstrong
- Kristin Cashore
- John Corey Whaley
- Jenny Han
- Myra McEntire
- Kody Keplinger
Do you agree? Disagree? Is there someone NOT on this list that is an instant read for you?
I found it interesting there are a few authors listed that only have one published work out right now - wow! what a true testament to their awesomeness (the ones listed that I've read, I completely agree with btw!)
Also, in case you were wondering, I have TOO MANY instant read authors.. but if I had to choose one it would be Jennifer Echols. I love that woman's storytelling so hard.
My vote is Sarah Dessen -- SO reliably good.
ReplyDeleteI want to say John Green. I really do. But I was really disappointed in Abundance of Katherines. I couldn't even finish it. :(
ReplyDeleteJennifer E. Smith should be on there. I can't believe I forgot her. But I've read EVERY SINGLE one of her books and have not been disappointed at all.
Great list. Isn't it fun when your Twitter goes nuts? haha
Richelle Mead
ReplyDeleteVeronica Roth!
ReplyDeleteThis!
DeleteI vote for J.K. Rowling, Veronica Roth and Sarah Dessin. I read one of her books and fell in love with it instantly! For me i would add Ally Carter because i love her works! They're awesome and mindblowing!
ReplyDeleteGreat list!=D
Oh and of course Cassandra Clare!
DeleteWhat about Cassandra Clare! :D
ReplyDeleteSuzanne Collins forever!
ReplyDeleteI would read anything either Julie Kagawa or Maggie Stiefvater writes. No contest, whatsoever!
ReplyDeleteI agree with these authors I would read anything by them too
Deletekristan higgins ~dixie
ReplyDeleteChuck Palahniuk. Ray Bradbury. But I do agree with many on the list!
ReplyDeleteI pretty much agree.
ReplyDeleteI would add Veronica Roth, Susan Mallery, Shannon Stacey, Molly Harper and Kiera Cass to this list.
-Jac @ For Love and Books
I would add Carolyn Hart - mysteries and John Grisham - legal thrillers and general fiction
ReplyDeleteJanette Rallison, Lisa Bergren, Ally Carter, Ally Condie, Rick Riordan
ReplyDeleteI agree with so many of these! Esp. John Green, Jennifer Echols, Sarah Dessen, and Stephanie Perkins. I'd also read anything by Libba Bray and Sarah Rees Brennan!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your list is pretty long! I guess mine would be:
ReplyDeleteMelina Marchetta, Sarah Dessen and Lisa Kleypas :D
MEGAN WHALEN TURNER. All caps.
ReplyDelete*nods head*
DeleteYes to Melina Marchetta and Kristin Cashore in the list! Would like to add Robin McKinley, Juliet Marillier, Elizabeth Wein and Ilona Andrews. :)
I definitely agree with Stephanie Perkins and J.K. Rowling. I will read anything by them! My list would also include Julia Quinn, Lisa Kleypas, and Meg Cabot.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to check out the authors on this list that I haven't read yet! :)
I agree with every single one you've listed
Deletethis is an awesome list!! thank you for compiling it!! i have some auto-approve historical romance authors as well, but this one seems like a mostly-ya list :)
ReplyDeleteOoOO that list is awesome and perfect! Jennifer L. Aremnthrout : I would read a phonebook if she would write it!! Kody Keplinger?Totally on my list too!
ReplyDeleteJ.K. Rowling is not on my list because I'm so not intererested in her adult book...
And.. Karen Marie Moning.... Gosh! That woman is crazy!!
I would have Cassandra Clare, Julie Kagawa, JK Rowling and Charlaine Harris (none YA - shocker) .
ReplyDeleteJohn Green & Sarah Dessen top my list. I would add Maggie Stiefvater, Cassandra Clare & Holly Black.
ReplyDeleteI would add Ellen Hopkins. I totally agree with most of the authors on this list though!
ReplyDeleteFor me its Terry Pratchett and Jasper Fforde
ReplyDeleteI've got a LOT on my list! John Green, Sarah Dessen, Sara Zarr, Sarah Ockler, Justina Chen, Ally Carter, and Suzanne Collins just to name a few. :D
ReplyDeleteInteresting list :) Right at the top of mine would be Melina Marchetta, Patrick Ness and Stephanie Perkins. However I really cannot get on with Sarah Dessen or Jennifer Echols. Once upon a time I would have said Meg Cabot but her last few books have been terrible, unfortunately!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list. My authors would be Deb Caletti, Scott Westerfeld, and Laurie Halse Anderson.
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS LIST. I'll be revisiting this post in the future for sure.
ReplyDeleteOh, man. I don't think I could just pick one. Jen Echols, Courtney Summers, Daisy Whitney and Antony John are definitely on my must-read list, as I've read almost all of their pub'd work (I haven't read 2 of Echols'). But those latter 3 authors are, like, my Trifecta of Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised Megan McCafferty didn't make the list, though!
Capillya brings up an interesting point. I only listed MWT because I've READ everything she ever wrote. But there are authors on my auto-read list whose entire oeuvres I haven't finished yet. (Melina Marchetta is one of them, as well as Elizabeth Wein.) So it depends how you phrase the question...
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's Sarah Dessen, Veronica Roth, Stephanie Perkins, Maggie Stiefvater, Tamora Pierce and Rick Riordan. I really have read just about everything these authors have written - so you know my opinion is based on fact :)
