Must Read Authors

I took last week of Top Ten Tuesday off because I honestly didn't know what to write, but now I'm back for another week!
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 prompt is Auto Buy Authors. At first, I thought I didn't have any but once I consider the spirit of what "auto buy" is, making a list ended up being a lot easier than I had initially expected. For me, this is a list of authors that I will read any book of theirs that I find, even if I just request it from the library, or only buy if I find it at a used bookstore. All of these authors I love and will read just about anything I put out there. So let's get started!

  1. Rick Riordan- The jokes about signing a blood contract for his books? This is me. Heck, I haven't read Magnus Chase yet and own all three books that are out so far despite still not picking it up. I'm currently rereading The Red Pyramid, and the mythology is so much fun.
  2. Margaret Peterson Haddix- The Missing is an amazing series, and I read all of the sequels to Among the Hidden after we read it at school. While I no longer actively seek out her books, if I encounter one, then I'll take it to read with no hesitation.
  3. Audrey Coulthurst- Of Fire and Stars was the first sapphic book I read after I figured out I was bisexual. Not only does it hold a special place in my heart, but it was amazing with great rep. All books with her as an author automatically go on my tbr, especially the sequel which is so close to release!
  4. James Patterson- Slight correction to "all books"- I'll only read his YA but I've read all that I know of. My sister and I were really into the Maximum Ride series, which was the only reason I picked up Witch & Wizard in the first place, which I also love. I won't read his adult stuff, but anything in the teen section I am all over.
  5. Adam Silvera- They Both Die at the End absolutely destroyed me, which is why I picked up History Is All You Left Me which was able to do the exact same thing in a brand new way. I definitely can't wait to read more, because it was definitely worth it.

I can't really think of anyone else that I will automatically pick up any book of, but I would definitely recommend reading any book by any one of these authors. There's a lot of things going right in these books and for many of them, I have been reading these authors for years.

Thanks for reading!
Alyssa

    Ooh, Margaret Peterson Haddix! I've enjoyed a few of hers in my time. My favorites are Don't You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey (which I did not realize until this second was by her, actually), Leaving Fishers and Turnabout.

      She's written so many books and while I don't love all of them, I still try them

    Oooh, I'm excited to see Adam Silvera on your list! I've heard great things about him, and I'll be reading They Both Die at the End next week. :3 I will appropriately reinforce my feels ahead of time.

    Here’s my TTT post.

      They Both Die at the End was the first one I read and was definitely amazing.

Unique Settings

Last week, I ran out of time to do my Top Ten Tuesday post, but I still loved the prompt of settings that I'd like to see more of. Since this week was a freebie, I decided to go ahead and do this prompt. 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. The books I have read from these books have been absolutely amazing in the majority of circumstances, but there needs to be so much more, especially in traditional publishing for a wide range of audiences, though some of these are best suited to YA or NA. So, let's get started! 4H- I spent twelve years as a member of local 4H, and I have only read one book that ever had showing livestock at a county fair as a plotline. It was amazing, but I haven't seen this aspect of my life in any other book. I have a few ideas based on my experiences

August Six Degrees

I recently discovered the Six Degrees of Separation meme for book blogs, and it looks like a lot of fun, so I decided to start this month, and see how it goes! This month's prompt is a wild card. Since I didn't do this last month, I'm starting with the book that I'm currently in the middle of- The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. First Link: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan These books are both by the same author, but also they are both the books that got me into that specific type of mythology in the first place, both Greek and Egyptian. I've learned so much after becoming interested based on these books in the first place. Second Link: Pandora Gets Jealous by Carolyn Hennesy Both of these books are takes on Greek mythology. Percy Jackson is modern day, but Pandora is set back then. Still, the main characters are both awesome and their interactions with the Greek gods and other Greek mythical beings are just amazing. Third Link: The Frog Princess

Anticipated Releases

Welcome back to another week of Top Ten Tuesday! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl with prompts every week! This one was surprisingly hard for me, maybe because I'm not really in the middle of any great series right now and all of the authors I read a lot aren't releasing this fall. I did include multiple books that I already got from Netgalley but they have not yet come out and I am behind but I still want to read them because I'm excited about their potential and hope that they are as amazing as I wish. So let's get started! Of Ice and Shadows by Audrey Coulthurst- Mare and Denna are an amazing sapp hic couple. I loved Of Ice and Shadows, and I absolutely cannot wait to read the sequel, but I have to. I am really excited for this book. Girls of Storm and Shadow by Natasha Ngan- I got my sister the first book for Christmas and still haven't read it, but this is another amazing sapphic series that I need to read. My sister loved
