Ten Authors I Wish Were Still Publishing New Books

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week's topic is Top Ten Authors You Wish Were Still Writing Today

.

1. Katja Millay - Wrote The Sea of Tranqulity and hasn't published since.
2. Leah Garriott - Published Promised and hasn't published anything since.
3. Richelle Mead - Her last published book was in 2018. Granted, none of her later books compared to her Vampire Academy series for me, I would still like to read more by her.
4. George R R Martin - As far as I can tell, George R R Martin is still publishing, but we all know that we're waiting for Winds of Winter which will probably never come.
5. Stephenie Meyer - Your girl has been busy pursuing other paths, but I sure wouldn't mind some of those "other stories set in the Twilight world."
6. Katie McGarry - Last published in 2024, but I still want more.
7. Priscilla Glenn - Priscilla Glenn has two published books that I never knew about, but still, her last published book was in 2014.
8. Robin LaFevers - Last published in 2020 unless she's writing under a different name.
9. Tammara Webber - Last published in 2017. I want more.
10. Jane Austen - I mean who wouldn't want more Jane Austen.

Top Ten Authors (Books) To Read if You Like Colleen Hoover

Top 10 Tuesday is a post hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and this week's topic is Top Ten Authors (Books) to Read if You Like Colleen Hoover.

So Colleen Hoover is one of my favorite authors. So far all of her books have been extremely romantic, but also carry some element of surprise and often deep sadness. The characters usually have some pretty big hurtles to overcome, and the writing really sucks me in. So that was my criteria for this top ten list: 1) romance, 2) surprise twist or deep sadness (bonus if the two are combined), 3) something to overcome, and 4) writing and characters that hook me quickly.

1. Katja Millay (The Sea of Tranquility)
2. Katie McGarry (specifically the Pushing the Limits series)
3. Claire Wallis (the Push series)
4. Rebecca Donovan
5. Rebecca Shea (specifically Unbreakable)
6. KA Tucker (specifically Ten Tiny Breaths)
7. Tammara Webber (specifically Easy)
8. Jamie McGuire (specifically The Maddox Brothers series)
9. Anne Eliot (specifically Almost)

Are there any books you'd recommend to me because I love Colleen Hoover? What do you think? Let me know!

Top Ten Authors Who Deserve More Recognition

Top 10 Tuesday is a post hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and this week's topic is Top Ten Authors Who Deserve More Recognition.

1) Carrie Ryan - Granted I've only read her The Forest of Hands and Teeth series, but I really enjoyed the voices that she gave to her characters--specifically Gabry, in book 2, The Dead-Tossed Waves. I know there are quite a few people who have read her stuff, but not enough man. Not enough.

2) Jessica Sorensen - Everything I've had a chance to read by her has been really good. I believe she self-published a lot of her novels and so they don't get as much press as the books from the bigger publishing houses.

3) Priscilla Glenn - Seriously, I couldn't put Back to You Down. I've recommended it, but I don't know that anyone I've recommended it to has actually picked it up. PICK IT UP PEOPLE!

4) Erin McCarthy - I've only read True by her, but I enjoyed it so much more than I expected. I've only seen a couple of people review this one. But it's worth checking out for sure.

5) Jay Crownover - I enjoyed Rule, but Jet was even better for me. I finished Jet over a week ago and I still can't get it out of my head. I want more.

6) Sophie Jordan - I've only read her Firelight series, but Sophie Jordan hooked me with book 1 and her unique look at dragons. I haven't seen many people fawn over these books either. Shame.

7) Katja Millay - The Sea of Tranquility was awesome. And I've seen tons of praise for it, but I want more--maybe I'm just anxious for her next book or something.

8) Cath Crowley - This Aussie author really impressed me with Graffiti Moon. I don't know how come more people aren't all over both Cath Crowley and this book.

9) Gina Holmes - I've only read one book by her, Crossing Oceans, but it was majorly emotional. She deserves much props and for me to check out more of her work.

10) Francis Chan - I know he has tons of fans out there, but I think many more people could be inspired by him if they gave his work a chance. Start with Crazy Love.

I tried to really focus on authors that I haven't seen the love that I think they deserve. Which authors do you think deserve more recognition? Let me know!
