Books I Need to Read by Favorite Authors. A Top Ten Tuesday List
Hello, readers and friends. Like it does every week, Tuesday is here again. All of my fellow bookworms knows what this means. It’s Top Ten Tuesday time, and this week it’s all about celebrating favorite authors.
That Artsy Reader Girl September 25: Books By My Favorite Authors That I Still Haven’t Read
When it comes to favorite authors, I feel like I devour their books in record time. But on occasion some of those backlist titles slip past my notice. Some favorite authors and the books I have not read by them will be down below. Looking over this list, I realize lots of these books are “on repeat” titles. When the same books keep appearing on lists, this is when I kind of know I’m way behind on some of those favorite authors and their respective backlist of titles.
On the list is young adult fiction, mysteries and of course, romance (because I’m a romantic of a sort). Their genres notwithstanding, all are must-reads for various reasons. Let’s get to taking a look-see.
Books I Need to Read by Favorite Authors. A Top Ten Tuesday September 25 List
1: The One by Kiera Cass | Haven’t read this one yet despite having fond memories of The Selection, which was probably my first YA read. I know, I’m old-fashioned and am behind the pop culture, “cool” times. Goodreads
2: Chasing Secrets by Lynette Eason | This is one of my favorites suspense series ever! It’s about a group of female bodyguards and is just so good. Which begs the question: why haven’t I read this fourth novel!? Goodreads
3: A Loyal Heart by Jody Hedlund | What a fun surprise it is to discover Jody releasing not one but two more medieval romances in her YA series. The first three books are charming and delightful, so I anticipate not only this novel, but also her newest, A Worthy Rebel. Goodreads
4: Just Between You and Me by Jenny B. Jones | Jenny is my go-to funny reads author. Her books are contemporary bliss in book format. This is why I cannot believe I haven’t yet read this one! Or her newest novel for that matter. Time to dust these pretties off. Goodreads
5: Murder at the Flamingo by Rachel McMillan | Despite not being an avid historical reader, I do love a good Rachel McMillan novel. This is why it’s a bit surprising for me to discover I’ve yet to read the first novel in her newest series. I mean, the cover alone looks like my kind of bookish party. Goodreads
6: Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins | Loved Anna and her Parisian adventures, and I enjoyed Lola’s story, so why haven’t I read Isla’s!? Goodreads
7: Geek Girl: Model Misfit by Holly Smale | Love the ‘Geek Girl,’ Harriet Manners. Needless to say, I need to revisit her fun world of misfits. Goodreads
8: Rescue Me by Susan May Warren | Oh, look at this. One of last week’s titles makes it onto this week’s list too! *aka I should read this one asap* Goodreads
9: Reclaiming Shilo Snow by Mary Weber | Reading book two in Mary’s latest duo is a must on my to-read-in-2018 list! Considering how rapid this year is approaching its close, I’d say I’d best get to reading. (Also, who else things her upcoming novel sounds amazing!?) Goodreads
10: By Your Side by Kasie West | It’s Kasie West. Those of you who’ve read this blog for any length of time knows this is enough said. Goodreads
BONUS! Authors who also fit on this list include: Sarah Sundin,

I’d quite like to finish the Geek Girl series. I think I’ve only got one book to go! :-) Great list!
How fun! I don’t own all of the ‘Geek Girl’ series books because they haven’t all been released by Harper (the U.S. editions). Now I’m wondering if they place to continue with the series!?
Thanks for the visit, Chrissi! :)
I really liked the first Geek Girl book – I should really continue the series… Happy reading!
I did too,, Lauren. It’s such a cute and really relatable book. :) Thanks for the visit.
Murder at the Flamingo definitely looks like an awesome read! I need to bookmark that one and add to the TBR. I love a good historical mystery.
Right!? Rachel’s books are always fantastic, Greg. Hope you enjoy if you decide to read them!! :)
Appreciate your visit.
Good luck finishing up your favorite authors’ book. Sometimes it feels like we are chasing our tails, huh? I went off the board this week and listed my favorite banned books since it is banned books week. My TTT Favorite Banned Books
Yes, yes it does, Anne! But it’s always fun to know you have LOTS more adventures in favorite author’s worlds. :)
Thanks for the visit!
I haven’t read The Selection series, but it’s pretty popular. Maybe someday.
It is indeed really popular! One of those series that is either loved or hated, too. :)
Thanks for the visit, Brooke.
Aaaaah, I love the pretty photos. Must have taken a lot of effort from you. I haven’t finished Kiera Cass’ The Selection series either.
Thanks for the kind words, Shealea. Here’s hoping we both enjoy the remaining ‘Selection’ books we have to read. :)
Thanks for the visit.
Isla was my favorite out of those three books. So I definitely recommend reading that one.
Here is my TTT: https://thebookdutchesses.com/2018/09/25/ttt-46-books-by-my-favorite-authors-that-i-still-havent-read/
Hooray! I’m so glad to know this, Candyce. I’m certainly most eager to read ‘Isla.’ :)
Thanks for the visit.
I read my first Kasie West book this year and really enjoyed it! I definitely have to read more. Which one is your favourite that you would recommend? Happy Reading!

I love all of the books I’ve read by Kasie (so far). If I had to choose, I’d say either Lucky in Love (though I think I’m the unpopular opinion here) or On the Fence. Hope you enjoy more from Kasie if you read more, Victoria!! Thanks for the visit. :)
It’s tough when I find a new-to-me author, or I just finally read one of their books and then I have a ton of backlist titles I need to get to. LOL From your list, I have read Isla and the Happily Ever After though and I really liked it.
-Lauren
Glad to know ‘Isla’ is good, Lauren! I agree. It is tough. But at the time time, it’s kind of fun to know we have ALL these stories yet to discover. :)
Thanks for the visit.
Oh my word, I loooove Isla and the Happily Ever After!
Dani @ The Restricted Section
YAYYAYYAY! Love reading all the good comments for ‘Isla’ and her happily ever after story. :)
Thanks for the visit, Dani.
I haven’t read any of these, but I like the sound of the Jody Hedlund books! Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
Awesome! Hope you enjoy Jody’s book if/when you have a chance to read it. :)
Thanks for visiting.
I know a lot of people didn’t enjoy By Your Side as much as Kasie West’s other novels, but it’s actually one of my favorites of hers. I hope you enjoy!
I’m still SUPER excited to read By Your Side, Alicia, and am glad to know you enjoyed it. It sure sounds like the ideal and daring little contemporary. :)
Thanks for visiting.
I have yet to do any Stephanie Perkins books, and it fills me with shame.
If you do decide to read one of Stephanie’s books, Jazmin, I hope you find them lovely. :)
Thanks for the visit!!
You always take the best photos for these posts. I haven’t read any of these books, but I hope you enjoy them!
Thanks, AJ! It’s always a fun little hobby. :)
Appreciate you visiting.
