5 of the Auto-Buy Authors I Hope to Enjoy! A Top Ten Tuesday List
Hello, there; happy new week and almost-Tuesday. Top Ten Tuesday July 16 is all about author love. (Which I am all about.)
That Artsy Reader Girl | July 16: Auto-Buy Authors
Sure bloggers, reviewers or (booktube) influencers may have an impact on readers and introducing them to new reads. However, it’s authors who deserve all the kudos. Without their creative imaginations, we wouldn’t have what we love and know as stories
Without them, we couldn’t step through a mysterious door into an icy world of wonderment; or we wouldn’t have the chance to hold a saber and fight off creatures trying to invade a kingdom. For some of us, maybe we wouldn’t be able to “see” Italy while travelling with a best friend, or we might not experience the adventures of four best friends as they prepare to spend their first summer apart.
I definitely have an auto-buy (must-buy-forever-and-always) list of authors, but since I will be sharing some of them in a video later (next month??), I thought instead I’d do something a tiny bit different. Today I’m sharing a list of five authors I haven’t read or have only read one book by, but own multiple books by. (Not sure this is wise when it comes to the wallet, but it’s fun.)
HERE WE GO!
5 Auto-Buy Authors. A Top Ten Tuesday July 16 List.
1: Ally Carter | I collected so many of Ally’s Gallagher Girls books (undoubtedly her more popular) before reading anything by her. I finally read All Fall Down. It’s tons of fun, so I’m curious to read more by her. On Goodreads
2: Kiera Cass | These books are my “guilty pleasure” reads. Unbelievably, I’ve only read books one and two – and maybe a novella or two…?? *draws a blank* Either way, I’m still hyped to read more of these and cannot wait to read whatever the mysterious upcoming novel by this author might be. On Goodreads
3: Irene Hannon | Once, I used to auto-buy all of Irene’s books. I still own many, have read a few, and am now very far behind on reading her more current publications. One I have read is Vanished. On Goodreads
4: Morgan Matson | I’ve only ever read ‘Amy & Roger’ by Morgan, but own all of (or most of) her releases. Started buying them prior to reading anything by her, and since they a: seemed liked my kind of reads, and b: were always hyped, I caved. Do you have a favorite by Morgan? I’m thinking I’ll read Second Chance Summer or Save the Date next on my Morgan Matson list. On Goodreads top ten tuesday july 16
BOOK REVIEW | The Selection by Kiera Cass: A Romantic YA Dystopian
5: Beth K. Vogt | Why I haven’t read more by her, I don’t know! One I read was excellent, while another wasn’t my favorite (though not because it’s not well written), and I feel like Crazy Little Thing Called Love would be so much fun. On Goodreads
Comment all the thoughts down below! Who is on your auto-buy list? Why are they; do they consistently surprise you or are their novels constant favorites? Is your auto-buy list “hype” induced? If you joined Top Ten Tuesday – or have a blog, please introduce yourself below. I’d be glad to visit your bookish spaces, too.
Thank you for visiting
ps: please excuse the “disorder.” you can read more about the changes, new follow options and why archive posts are a royal mess in my “Disorder + Feedback” post!
I have a few authors like that, where I’ve only read one or two of their books but I have more of their books on the shelf (or on the Kindle)!
Morgan Matson’s stuff always looks fun. :)
It’s a bookworm problem, right!? :) I’m hopeful I’ll read more of Morgan’s this year. Thanks so much for the visit, Greg. :)
I love Amy and Roger’s Epic Detour, her Second Summer book, not so much. My TTT list
I’m a bit skeptical about “Second Chance Summer” just because its premise seems to promise a sad story. But I have heard it’s good… so here’s hoping! Thanks for the visit, Anne. :)
Ah yes, Morgan Matson is such a great writer. Wonderful list! :-)
I hope to enjoy more of her novels… soon! Thanks for the visit, Chrissi.
I haven’t read any of the books on your list yet, BUT I have authors like that. I own 2 or 3 VE Schwab books (haven’t read her stories yet) as well as one or two books by Kiersten White, and I’ve only read a short story by her so far.
*high five* SO glad I’m not alone, Brooke. Sometimes I recognize my strange bookworm habits and wonder, “does anything else do this!?” :) Thanks for visiting!!
Great list! I keep meaning to try Morgan Matson’s work, her books always look like so much fun. =)
I agree! Here’s hoping we both enjoy the books we pick up from Morgan. :) Thanks for the visit, Jess.
I used to read Ally Carter a lot! I love her Gallagher Girls series!! I need to read Morgan Mason’s books for sure.
YAY! Glad to know you liked the GG series. I feel like I’d still enjoy them even though they’re now considered “old” releases – and probably not as “grown up” as YA tends to be now. :) Thanks for your visit!
Morgan Matson is a lot of fun! I have only read one of her books so far, but I really enjoyed it. Ally Carter is also an author I need to give a try. Her books seem to be something I would love. And just like you I’ve only read the first two of The Selection series. I really need to continue.
Here is my TTT: https://thebookdutchesses.com/2019/07/16/ttt-88-auto-buy-authors-part-2/
Hope we both enjoy some of Ally’s novels (and the rest of the ‘Selection’ stories too!), and yay for Morgan Matson! I’m so glad to know you liked what you read by her. Appreciate you stepping by, Candyce. Thanks! :)
I absolutely love Kiera Cass! The Selection series was good! Although I think it was great as a trilogy. I didn’t read the novellas or the final book, but I bought them all lol. The Siren was my favorite from her. Great list!
SAME! Her books have been so entertaining for my reading preferences. I’m hoping her next novel comes out in 2020. Goodreads has been teasing us for WAY too long. :) Thanks so much for visiting, Leelynn.
Not a huge Cass fan, not sure why. I have tried her stuff but she just doesn’t work for me. I would like to try Morgan at some point though! Hers look adorable!
Nothing wrong with this, Melanie. :) Hope we BOTH enjoy Morgan’s if and when we read them. Thanks for the visit.
I haven’t read any of these, but I think Ally Carter’s work sounds fun! Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
I agree; her books do sound fun. :) Thanks for the visit.
Same on Morgan Matson.
Whew! Good to know I’m not alone. :) Thanks, Brittaney.
You did a great job with your list this week. It was nice to see someone else who only picked a few authors. :)
My TTT.
Thanks, Lydia! I thought it was better to limit the number since I’m going to be doing a video of my all-time “ride or die” auto buy authors soon. :) Appreciate your visit.
Oh boy, let this stranger babble about Matson at you, since she also made my list: I think Amy & Roger is still my favorite, but Since You’ve Been Gone would have been my favorite if I were more okay with the idea of people getting out of their comfort zone. I think that one has the strongest characters and a pretty cool plot. The Unexpected Everything has fantastic dog focus, plus some excerpts from a character’s fantasy novel, if you like that genre. And Second Chance Summer was the 2nd one I read, so I can vouch for it being a good choice at this stage. Though it definitely made me cry a lot.
(I would advise on the newest but haven’t read it yet)
Please do babble on! I’m all about good bookworm conversation here. :)
I remember liking ‘Amy and Roger,’ which is odd since I’m not the biggest road trip book fan. But it’s cute as I remember. So glad to read all of your thoughts on Morgan’s books. ‘Unexpected’ does look fun, and I think lots of people mention “Since You’ve Been Gone” as one of her strongest. :) Glad you stopped in!
I’ve liked what I’ve read of Carter so far. Great list! :)
Fabulous! I’m excited to read more by her for sure. :) Thanks for visiting, Lauren.
I LOVE the first three books of The Selection but honestly hated the last three. I hope you love them all though!
Bummer! That’s always a disappointment for a read. Thanks – I hope so too. :) Appreciate your visit, Tracy.
I’ve read a couple of Ally Carter books and really enjoyed them!
My TTT post!
SO GLAD, Kyra. They sure do sound fun. :) Glad you stopped in.
I love Morgan Matson! I think Since You’ve Been Gone is my favorite by her so far, but I still need to read Second Chance Summer :)
Great to know this, Lindsey. Thanks for the recommendation. :) As always, glad to chat with you.
