Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish. This week I'm sharing the top ten authors I've read a book from, but need to read more of their work.
1. Rainbow Rowell
What I've read:
I've heard great things about ALL of her other books, such as 'Eleanor and Park', 'Attachments' and 'Landline'. I gave Fangirl five stars so I'm hoping that the others are just as good!
2. Marie Rutkoski
What I've read:
What I've read:
This is another book I gave 5 stars to and so Marie Rutkoski has gone onto my 'auto-read' author list. Her book 'The Shadow Society' looks particularly interesting so I might give that one a go when I can.
3. Jessi Kirby
What I've read:
'Golden' was beautifully written, so I can't wait to read 'Moonglass' and 'In Honor' which both look like great contemporary reads as well!
4. Jessica Shirvington
What I've read:
Since 'Disruption' was pretty darn awesome, I think it's time to work my way backwards to the 'Embrace' series which I have the first two books of (they're watching me as I type this right now...)
5. Markus Zusak
What I've read:
Since this is one of my favourite books of all time, it's fair to say that I definitely want to read more from Markus Zusak. I'm thinking 'I Am the Messenger' is next on my list.
6. Katherine Longshore
What I've read:
Historical fiction is one of my favourite genres, and as it so happens, that's what Katherine Longshore writes. I have a copy of 'Gilt' which I'm looking forward to getting into, but 'Manor of Secrets' looks great as well.
7. Stephen King - Carrie
What I've read:
It was super creepy, better than the movie, and I loved it. Stephen King has written a lot of novels, so I guess I'm going to have to take my pick from his collection. If any of you guys have read some that you'd recommend then let me know :)
8. E. Lockhart
What I've read:
This is one of my top reads of the year, and with such a fascinating storyline and piercing writing style. Her other books 'The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks ' and 'The Boyfriend List' look good, plus I'll definitely be reading whatever she writes next.
9. Patrick Ness
What I've read:
Apparently his 'Chaos Walking' series is a hit, and 'A Monster Calls' looks like a pretty intense read so that's what I'm expecting.
10. Melissa Kantor
What I've read:
Her next book 'Better Than Perfect' is coming out next year, so I'll definitely be looking out for that!
Patrick Ness and E. Lockhart are on my list too! I definitely need to read more from those authors. Also, Jessica Shirvington is an awesome writer! I really enjoyed Embrace and her standalone Between the Lives; it was so unique and was overall a great read. I'm yet to read Disruption, though I do have a copy of it. :D Great list! This post has reminded me, once more, that I STILL need to read a Rainbow Rowell novel! O.o
ReplyDeleteI know that her Embrace series is really popular so I'm looking forward to seeing what the hype is about, and one of my best friends loved Between the Lives so I'm also hoping to get to that soon! Glad my list could help, if you like contemporary then I'd definitely recommend Rainbow Rowell :)
DeleteGreat list, a few like Patrick Ness are on my list too to read more of. I've only read More Than This too and can't wait to check out the Chaos Walking series. I really enjoyed Elenore and park, but I'm not a big fan of Rainbow Rowell, I really didn't like Fangirl and she's one of those authors I can help but think is severely overrated. The Winner's Curse! Gosh, that's been my book of 2014 so far, absolutely adored it. Definitely have to check out more of her work. Thanks for sharing <3
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly :) And yes, The Winner's Curse was definitely amazing (both inside and out) so I think at this point I'll try anything by Marie Rutkoski!
DeletePatrick Ness is on my list!! OOh, yes, you should definitely read Eleanor and Park. I absolutely LOVED IT. I Am the Messenger is fantastic as well - very meta. Markus Zusak is seriously a brilliant writer. Oh, and I had no idea Jessi Kirbi had written other books!!! I can't wait to read Golden :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads-up! I'm even more excited to read The Messenger Now, and I hope that you like Golden :)
DeleteEugenia! Please read Attachments by Rainbow Rowell! It was the first book of hers that I ever read, and I feel absolutely and completely in love with it, and maybe like it even better than Fangirl. It's such a sweet story and it is written so well and just YES. READ, READ, READ. XD
ReplyDeleteI want to read more from Marie Rutkoski, as well! I was quite enamoured with The Winner's Curse, so I think I would enjoy her other novels, as well. Her writing style is lovely.
I was a bit disappointed in Embrace by Jessica Shirvington, but Between the Lives was absolutely fantastic :D
The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks looks pretty awesome, and is definitely on the TBR.
Other than Markus Zusak, I haven't read any of the other authors on this list. Maybe I should get on that ;P
After that message I think I'm DEFINITELY going to read Attachments now (I trust your judgement!)
DeleteThanks for sharing your thoughts on some of the other books on my list as well :)
I don't know if I've mentioned it or not, but your design is so pretty - I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteI really hope you love Eleanor & Park! I was disappointed by Landline and Fangirl, but thought that Eleanor & Park was amazing! I've yet to read Attachments though.
I've only read one Marie Rutkoski book too, and I have The Shadow Society on my TBR too.
Reading more Zusak is a must for me as well. He also made my list this week.
I really need to get my butt into gear and read Jessi Kirby, Jessica Shirvington, Katherine Longshore, Stephen King and Melissa Kantor.
Thanks for sharing a wonderful post, Eugenia! :)
Eleanor and Park seems to be the most popular Rainbow Rowell book, so after this I'm definitely going to read it soon! Markus Zusak seems to be quite the popular pick this week as well for this TTT feature I've noticed. Thanks so much for stopping by Ebony, and it's nice to hear that you like the design :)
DeleteGreat list, I've only read three of them (We Were Liars, Carrie and The Book Thief) but all the others are on my want-to-read list!

Thanks :) I'd definitely recommend checking out some of the others, especially The Winner's Curse!
DeleteI can't wait for The Winner's Crime! It's going to be fantastic. I have The Book Thief here at home but I haven't been able to get into it as of yet.
ReplyDeleteMe either, I can't wait to see what could possibly happen next. Hope you like The Book Thief, it's a great piece of YA historical fiction that has ALL THE FEELS.
DeleteFantastic list!! I have Melissa Kantor on my list too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa :) I loved Maybe One Day so I definitely can't wait to read more from her!
DeletePatrick Ness is a seriously wonderful writer. I'd definitely suggest giving A Monster Calls a go next- it's incredibly beautiful. Jessica Shirvington is amazing too- I haven't read Disruption yet, but the Violet Eden Chapters/Embrace series is really, really good. I hope you get to read some more of these authors soon!
ReplyDeletex Ely
Thanks for the recommendation - I'll definitely be looking out for A Monster Calls now. I am really excited to get started on the Embrace series as soon as I have time! :)
DeleteYou know, I haven't read a single book on this list.
ReplyDeleteI haven't even read a single author on this list.
But I do want to read Disruption, We Were Liars and The Book Thief. And I've been debating for a while now whether I should read Fangirl. I'm tempted...but I'm not really a contemporary person...
Well I guess now you've got a lot of different books to possibly check out :p
DeleteDisruption, We Were Liars and The Book Thief were all AMAZING reads for me, so I would definitely recommend them! If you're not usually a contemporary person, Fangirl might still appeal to you, but I've heard that Rainbow Rowell's other books are great too.
