This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt wants to know which authors will we automatically purchase their next book to read, no matter what it's even about. I have several favorite authors who have won me over with just one book (some even their debut!). There's just something about their story-telling that automatically makes me want to get my hands on their next novel.
Be sure to check out The Broke and the Bookish for more details on this awesome weekly feature.
This Week's Top 10: Authors That I'd Put On My Auto-Buy List
1. Rainbow Rowell [Eleanor & Park, Attachments]
2. Gayle Forman [If I Stay/Where She Went, Just One Day]
3. Tara Kelly [Amplified, Harmonic Feedback]
4. Trish Doller [Something Like Normal, Where the Stars Still Shine]
5. Jenny Han [The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy]
6. Huntley Fitzpatrick [My Life Next Door]
7. Jessi Kirby [Moonglass, In Honor]
8. Jennifer Echols [way too many books to name]
9. Mindi Scott [Freefall, Live Through This]
10. John Corey Whaley [Where Things Come Back]
>>> more authors I will buy whatever they write... Sarah Dessen, Cassandra Clare, Jandy Nelson, John Green, Kirsten Hubbard, Veronica Roth, Melina Marchetta, Kirsty Eagar, Stephanie Perkins, Morgan Matson... and the list could go on!
Gayle Forman and Jenny Han are absolutely on my list- love them! Great list!
ReplyDeleteThey write some of the best YA contemporaries, don't they?
DeleteI definitely should have included several of these - it was SO HARD to keep my list to ten!
ReplyDeleteThat is why you see several added at the bottom of list, haha.
DeleteWe have some overlap! Jenny Han is definitely on my top. (Team Conrad). I'm so in love with your list, I kind of want to change/add some from yours to mine.

I will pretty much read anything Jennifer Echols writes. Even her grocery list, ha.
DeleteThere are so many amazing authors out there! It makes me sad that it's almost impossible to read all those awesome books. Well, looking at the bright side: there are still a lot of wonderful books to read! Love your list!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Agreed. There is never enough time to read all the books!
DeleteI've heard so many good things about ELEANOR AND PARK that I'm already on the waiting list for it at my library! Now that you recommend it just seals the deal. OH MY GOSH YES, Huntley Fitzpatrick. I read MY LIFE NEXT DOOR because of your review and now will buy anything and everything she writes. I have't read any Tara Kelley books but since it's on your auto-buy, I MUST check it out :)
ReplyDeleteOh Farrah, I'm so glad you read My Life Next Door.. love love LOVE that book! I hope you get a chance to check out Tara Kelly. I think she's someone you would definitely enjoy reading.
DeleteI totally agree with Rainbow! Also yes, Huntley! I am SO EXCITED for her next book. Why is 2014 so far away?!?!
ReplyDeleteIt feels insanely far away. I love that her next book is in the same setting, too. Love that coastal New England feel :)
DeleteI'm gonna have to check out some of these authors! <3 some Gayle Forman though!

Vixen's Top Ten!
I definitely need another Huntley Fitzpatrick book in my life ASAP!
ReplyDeleteYes! Gayle Forman! Jenny Han! Huntley Fitzpatrick! I still need to read some Jennifer Echols and I'm reading Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell right now! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
I can't even tell you how close Jennifer Echols was to being on my list! SO VERY CLOSE, GINGER!
ReplyDeleteAlso, when am I going to get around to reading Jenny Han? Sigh.
I feel terrible, because I've only read some of these authors. You sure do love your contemps, and I often stray to the paranormals. I need to read some freaking Rowell already. I do believe she'll be one of the first purchases on the new Kindle :)
ReplyDeleteIt makes me so happy that Huntley Fitzpatrick, Jessi Kirby and Trish Doller are on her - because I loved them LOADS too!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea who Tara Kelly and John Corey Whaley are. But to be honest, I've only read Echols on your list and now I feel less of a book person. Too many awesome books to read!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Top Ten Tuesday post!

I love your picks, obviously. It was hard to narrow it down to 10 & I could've added a bunch more! (I guess that explains where all my money goes!)
