The Right Writers for Me
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. Every week they post a new topic/top ten list and invite everyone to share their own answers. I'm so obsessed with lists - so it makes perfect sense that I'd love this feature!
Top Ten Favorite Authors
This seemed like an impossible task, so I set some parameters to narrow it down. My two requirements:
(1) I've read more than one book/series by the author
(2) I would generally recommend every book I've read by the author
This was surprisingly effective in helping me determine my list! I debated narrowing it down further, but I was pretty pleased with the results. There are so many authors I could have included, especially ones that have written some of my favorite series. But I wanted to try to highlight authors who have written a number of books I've loved rather than ones where I've only read a series by them or find their backlist hit or miss.
Favorite: The Girl Who Chased the Moon
2. Jane Austen
Favorite: Pride and Prejudice
3. Emery Lord
Favorite: Open Road Summer
Favorite: Heir of Fire
Favorite: Saving Francesca
Favorite: It's Not Me, It's You
Favorite: Anne of Green Gables
8. Jojo Moyes
Favorite: Me Before You
9. Liza Palmer
Favorite: Nowhere but Home
Favorite: After I Do
I love Emery Lord's two books and I really enjoyed reading After I Do by Taylor Jenkins Reid!! I'm hoping that I can get to Forever, Interrupted soon.

I love that you were able to narrow it down so effectively with your parameters, H! It also pleases me that I've read 8/10 of the authors on this list - and loved them too. Definitely hoping to check out some Sarah Addison Allen this year, and of course, after your glowing rec, I need to give Mhaira McFarlane a shot! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out some of these authors.
