Top ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week's Top Ten topic is "Top Ten All-Time Favorite Authors" (we were given permission to narrow it down to a genre, so I went with YA). On this list are authors who's books I'd buy without even knowing what they were about. Well, here goes...
Cassandra Clare
The Mortal Instruments & The Infernal Devices
Lauren Oliver
(I've never met her but I'd LOVE to!)
Rachel Caine
(Morganville Vampires, etc
A.S. King
Jennifer Murgia
Cyn Balog (aka, Nichola Reilly)
Melissa Marr
(Yes, we've met, but I have no pictures)
Rachel Vincent
(We've met, no pics)
Gayle Forman
Simone Elkeles
Who are your favorite authors?

Wow. You've featured some great authors! I definitely need to check out more of Melissa Marr's work. Thanks for stopping by My TTT!
ReplyDeleteI actually named my son after a character in Wicked Lovely (Seth). Thanks for stopping by over here!
DeleteGreat choices! Cassandra Clare was definitely on my list, she is such an amazing author :)

I had Cassandra Clare on my list, but I CAN'T believe that I left out Melissa Marrs... especially as I'm re-reading the Wicked Lovely series right now!

Love how you've met so many of these authors! Good job.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine!
OOOoh very nice! I loooove Rachel Vincent too! She made my list as well! Rachel Caine is another fave though she's not on my top 10 list! So hard choosing especially since I've been reading for like ever! Lol! I want to choose my starter authors, but then there are all the new authors I started reading and loving!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I don't do this meme, but wow! What a great list of favorite authors.
ReplyDeleteI've not read any of these author yet, but I'm definitely planning on reading Cassandra Clarence soon

The only one of these I've read is Perfect Chemistry. It was totally not my kind of book, but I did enjoy it! Great list! :)
ReplyDeleteHere are my Top Ten!
Every time I see anything about The Morganville Vampires it reminds me that I haven't started my series read of it yet! I've still only read book one and I so want to get on with it! The number of books and short stories is pretty daunting though!
ReplyDeleteI'm o glad to see Lauren Oliver on many lists, it great to see such an amazing author being we'll loved. I like you picks, there are some new authors that I will check out. Thanks for sharing!

Simone Elkeles made my list too! Her books are such emotional roller coasters but at the same time they are funny. I love her characters because they're so real. The other authors are not my favorites but I love the If I Stay series, The Morganville Vampires and Before I Fall. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely list. :)
I've never read anything by any of these authors (except for Lauren Oliver! And I can't believe I forgot about her on my list!) But a few of them are on my TBR! :) Great list!
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! Amazing list. I've read a few of these authors. I'm so jealous love all the pictures. I do see a few I haven't read yet and think I should check out. I'm anxiously awaiting The Stars Never Rise and I'm shocked I forgot Rachel Vincent!!! Have a great week!!! Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteI love Rachel Caine too! She's awesome
ReplyDeleteI haven't read books by any of the authors mentioned in your post this week, so I now have a few new authors to explore!!
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to my TTT post for this week: http://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2015/04/top-ten-all-time-favorite-authors.html
Wow you've met some amazing people!! I love the pics with A.S. King! And isn't Gayle Forman a riot?? I never knew she was so fun until I saw her at a library book conference thing last year. And Lauren Oliver is fast becoming one of my new fave authors... I'm reading Before I Fall right now :)
ReplyDeleteI had to opt-out of this one! GAH! I have hundreds of favorite authors and I can only pick 10??????! Lauren Oliver and Cassandra Clare are only some pretty big ones for me! Looking at your list, it's surprising to me how I haven't read books from some of these authors. I'll have to fix that!
ReplyDeleteYOU'VE MET SIMONE ELKELES AND MELISSA MARR OH MY GOSH. And oh my gosh, RACHEL CAINE. The envy is big, and I love the Morganville Vampires series SO MUCH so high five and just OH MY GOSH.
ReplyDeleteRachel @ Beauty and the Bookshelf
These pictures are FABULOUS! Especially the Gayle Forman one hahhaha. And A.S. King was SO CLOSE to making my list. The struggle was real. Also, you have met ALL the people, no? I am insanely jealous, of course, but so happy for you, because that is so great! I have NEVER met an author. Ever. Not even like, some local guy who self-pubbed a pamphlet or something ;) I suppose that will change at BEA? (Fingers crossed, anyway!) Great list, they are all amazing!
ReplyDeleteShannon @ It Starts At Midnight
A lot of authors live in or are from my area. I work in a bookstore, plus there are several other bookstores in the area that have signings regularly. Plus, there are YA festivals every year here. It's so weird because we'll have someone walk into the store and tell us they have a book coming out soon, and three years later they're HUGE successes. I've known Amy King for years (as you can see by our goofy pictures). You'll definitely meet some authors at BEA. If it's a big author, you should get in line early. Last year the lines were ridiculous. I wish they'd release the author signing schedule!
DeleteSo incredibly envious of your pile of author meets. You have some great picks on your list. I even ended up adding two more to my list to try (I also learned about Cyn Balog's altar ego...I had no idea about her Nichola Reilly books.) Elle @ Erratic Project Junkie
ReplyDeleteI didn't have any of your authors on my list but I am currently reading Panic by Lauren Oliver, so I'm glad you think her books are good.
ReplyDeleteGreat list with some really fantastic authors. I really need to try more of Clare's books. I've only read City of Bones and feel I need to try more by her.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay! It's amazing how many authors you got to meet. Lucky you!!
