TEN FAVORITE BOOKS BY SOME OF THE FAVORITE AUTHORS
When it comes to favorite authors, I have a feeling I repeat feature them a lot (and will probably feel bad about how much while I put this together), but when they pen favorite books, it’s easy to spotlight them. Plus, we all love to feature favorite things, right? So, the ask today is to again take a look at these favorite authors and books.Â
LIST | THINGS TO WATCH LIKE ‘IT’S NOT LIKE THAT’
TEN FAVORITE BOOKS BY SOME OF THE FAVORITE AUTHORS. #Read #Reader #Reading Share on XI have lots of additional favorite authors, but I tried to only feature the names that I’ve read multiple books from or books that aren’t in the same series. Contemporaries will also probably be the main genres, but let’s dive in and see what we’ll find.Â
FAVORITE BOOKS by FAVORITE AUTHORS
- AGAINST the TIDE by ELIZABETH CAMDEN
- TIDEWATER INN by COLLEEN COBLE
- ALWAYS WATCHING by LYNETTE EASON
- THE BACHELOR GIRL’S GUIDE to MURDER by RACHEL MCMILLAN | This one is easy and fun reading and is book one in a series I remember really enjoying. Goodreads
- SUBMERGED by DANI PETTREY
- A PORTRAIT of EMILY PRICE by KATHERINE REAY
- THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY of LOVE at FIRST SIGHT by JENNIFER E. SMITH | Loved this book so much. The film adaptation was also really good and I think, captured as much if not slightly more of the emotion of the novel. Goodreads
- THE CHOICE by NICHOLAS SPARKS | Haven’t read a book by him in years, but I remember enjoying the four or five I read by him, and it seems like at the time The Choice was one of my favorites. Also, fun fact, I would also read a spoiler on whether either of the main characters died before reading the books! Goodreads
- STAY WITH ME by BECKY WADE | I’ve read almost all of Becky’s books from her first novel to her newest release, I have enjoyed many. However, I do think my most favorite by her is Stay With Me. The first in one of her series, this one features a flawed heroine, redemption and a deeper and more emotional love story. Goodreads
- P.S., I LIKE YOU by KASIE WEST | I cannot remember which book by Kasie I would consider a favorite (and at this point, I’ve let three or so books by her release that I haven’t read!), but I rated Lucky in Love and Listen to your Heart as five star reads in addition to this one. So, while I don’t remember which I like most of all, I know these three have been top favorites. Goodreads

Linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl May 26:Â My Favorite Books by My Favorite Authors (Pick your ten favorite authors and your favorite book written by each one of them.) (submitted by Cathy @ WhatCathyReadNext)
Jennifer E. Smith is such a fun writer.
My list: https://headfullofbooks.blogspot.com/2026/05/ttt-favorite-audiobooks-for-road-trips.html
Definitely! And I’m glad there are more by Jennifer I still get to discover. :)
Nicholas Sparks was a must-read for me in high school. Any time a new book came out, I was first at the library waiting to get my hands on a copy. <3

There is lots by him I haven’t read, but the ones I did I enjoyed. I think I’m curious now about the one they are next adapting as a film. It’s a mystery with some supernatural hints. :)
These look good. I found it tough to just pick 10!
Have a great week!

Right? It IS hard to share just ten. I found myself wanting to share more favorite books but decided to only share authors I’ve read multiple books by. :)
Some more restrictions needed to be in place and it was still hard 😂
Some are indeed a challenge and others are easier. :)
Yep 😊
😄
I think I’ve only read Nicholas Sparks from your list, and I have enjoyed several of his books.
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
I’ve read a few of his and enjoyed them! It’s been a long time though. :)
P.S. I Like You looks adorable.
It was! So adorable. :)
Kasie West! I haven’t read many of her books lately though they are definitely on my TBR. I remember really loving PS I Like You :)
I have to read her more recent releases, but I did always enjoy Kasie’s books. :)
I have to say I haven’t read any of these authors, though I know I’ve heard of a couple.
Here’s my TTT for the week: https://readbakecreate.com/favorite-covers-for-murder-on-the-orient-express/
I discover that quite a lot when visiting lists too. :)
I have never heard of THE BACHELOR GIRL’S GUIDE to MURDER by RACHEL MCMILLAN! I think it is one I would enjoy. I know I have heard of her, but I am not sure if I have read anything by her or not. Have a great week!
I really enjoyed that series. It was quite of like a female Holmes and Watson. :)
It does sound fascinating! I do plan to investigate further ;)
Fun! Hope if you ever read them, you enjoy. :)
Thanks Rissi!
😊😊😊
I really enjoy historical romance, so several of these sound very interesting! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Great. Hope maybe you discover something new to enjoy. :)
