Ten Books I Still Need to Read by My Favorite Authors

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 Books I Still Need to Read by My Favorite Authors.

1. Heartless by Mariss Meyer - I really have no real reason for having not read this except that I don't have it in my possession.
2. From Sand and Ash by Amy Harmon - I love Amy Harmon, but I still wonder if I will enjoy this one.
3. Dark Age (Red Rising, # 5) by Pierce Brown - This series is so heavy emotionally for me that I need time to recover before reading each new book. I hope to get this for Christmas.
4. Kingdom of Ash (Throne of Glass, # 7) by Sarah J Maas - This book is so long that I know I could read about 3 or 4 shorter ones in the same amount of time so I keep putting it off.
5. Restore Me (Shatter Me, # 4) by Tahereh Mafi - I liked the way things wrapped up and I'm not sure how I feel about revisiting this series.
6. A Convenient Fiction (Parish Orphans of Devon, # 3) by Mimi Matthews - Since I was denied a review request for this one I just haven't gotten around to buying it. Maybe I'll get it for Christmas too. I know I'll read it quickly once I get my hands on it.
7. Maybe This Time by Kasie West - Another one I was denied a review copy for and I haven't purchased it so maybe this will be another that I find under the Christmas tree.
8. Never Never Part 3 by Colleen Hoover & Tarryn Fisher - This is one of those rare times when I'm not sure I even want to bother. Everyone seems quite disappointed with this book so I'm not sure I'll bother reading it. Especially since you can't buy it on kindle anymore and you have to get the set to get access to it.
9. Anathema (Casual Enchantment, # 1) by KA Tucker - This series was out before I found KA Tucker. I've read all of her published books (except one) that have released since I found her, but I haven't read this series.
10. The Glittering Court (The Glittering Court, # 1) by Richelle Mead - I started this one. I got about 30 or 40% into it and didn't like the direction it was headed so I put it down. I've actually gotten it from the library on audiobook, but I haven't finished it yet.

Do you have any favorite authors that you've not read all of their books yet? Let me know!

Top Ten Auto-Buy Authors

Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish, but is currently hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is Top Ten Auto-Buy Authors.

Interestingly enough, there are no 100% auto-buy authors for me. I have authors that I've read all of their published books and would certainly check out anything else they publish in the future. But I have certain topics that are just off limits. So *shrugs* this is as close as I get to an auto-buy list. I've done this topic in the past and it was interesting to go back and see which authors have fallen off my top ten list and which have remained. Here's my list from 2015 and 2013.

1. Colleen Hoover - So I've been a CoHort from way back when. Slammed was my first read by her when it was available on NetGalley. I've loved all of her books and have read each and every one of them.
2. Kasie West - I've read all of her published books. And since her content has always been clean I can pretty much guarantee that unless my reading tastes drastically change I'll always count Kasie West as an auto-buy author.
3. Mary E Pearson - I still have Mary E Pearson's earliest releases to read, but since the Remnant Chronicles I at least want to check out everything else she decides to do.
4. Sarah J Maas - Confession: I don't actually own any of her books although I've read all but Kingdom of Ash (cutting my eyes at you Holly). I've just borrowed them all from Holly. But all of her books are good enough to own, and certainly good enough to make this list. I can see where she might one day venture into territory that I'm not up for, but I'll always look into her books.
5. Amy Harmon - There are quite a few that Amy Harmon has written that I still haven't read, but all of the ones by her that I have read have been really good. I'm skeptical of What the Wind Knows because it is about time travel, and I don't usually enjoy that subject.
6. Katie McGarry - I've read all of Katie McGarry's books and haven't found one that I didn't like. Will definitely continue to check her books out in the future.
7. KA Tucker - Another author that I've read all of her releases. Wait no. I take that back. She has some very early releases that I haven't read even though I own the first one. I need to get around to that one soon.
8. Robin LaFevers - I always hesitate to add authors to lists like this when I've only read a few of their books or only one series because a different series could be vastly different. But I think I can trust her writing to be good.
9. Kristi Ann Hunter - Christian Historical Fiction - You can't go wrong. Well...maybe you could, but Kristi Ann Hunter has never led me astray. Probably an actual auto-buy author for me.
10. Jenn Bennett - Ok so Jenn Bennett is a tricky one. I've loved everything I've read from her, and I certainly want to read more of her books. However, I do know that she can trickle into subject matter that I'm not a fan of, and one of her books hasn't gotten the best reviews. So...we'll see.

Which authors are on your auto-buy List? Let me know!

Top Ten Auto-Buy Authors

Top 10 Tuesday is a post hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and this week's topic is Top Ten Auto-Buy Authors.

Ok so I don't COMPLETELY have auto buy authors where the description of the book doesn't matter. Even though there are authors that I've loved every single book I've read that they've written, I still know my reading preferences well enough to know that some subjects are just not enjoyable for me. And so barring any crazy jumps into these territories, here's a list of authors that come closest to being considered "auto-buy" authors for me.

1. Colleen Hoover
2. Richelle Mead
3. Maggie Stiefvater
4. Katie McGarry
5. Jamie McGuire
6. KA Tucker
7. Francis Chan
8. Stormie Omartian

There are a few other authors that I contemplated adding to the list, but I thought these were really the closest to a true auto-buy author list. What about you guys? Who are your auto-buy authors? Let me know!
