My Top Ten Auto Buy Authors
1. Markus Zusak.... hello. What's there even to say? :)
2. John Green.... I love his stuff and his books make me happy.
3. Maggie Stiefvater... she is a newcomer to this list, but after the last couple books, I think I'll be buying.
4. Brandon Sanderson... with a little qualification here. I will buy his adult fantasy, but so far I haven't felt the need to buy his MG things. (I have just the one.) And the adult fantasy I haven't kept up on, but I will get there.
5. Shannon Hale... local famous author who writes amazing books. I'll be buying.
6. Ally Condie... ditto for Ally.
7. Patrick Rothfuss.... he has me hooked on the world he's created, and I can't wait for more. When he does start a new series with a new world, I'll be there for that one too!
8. Dan Wells.... I don't care what he writes, I will read it.
9. Suzanne Collins... what will she come up with next? I'll buy to find out!
10. Melina Marchetta... I would like to list her here, but so far, I've only read her books from the library. Let's fix that!
Which authors will you automatically buy? Do we share any of the same? Who should I add to my list?
oh totally agree with your list and maggie is one of mine.
ReplyDeleteJulie: I so look forward to another Maggie bok!
DeleteI automatically get Jessica Day George's books. I agree with many people on your list. I need to read a John Green book!
ReplyDeleteKami: I have many of hers too! You DO need to read John Green, and see what you think.
DeleteThere are a few authors on your list that I haven't read anything by! I'll have to get on that. You know Green and Zusak made my list too!
ReplyDeleteMelissa: I bet you'll love 'em!
DeleteYou've put together a great list. You've got a few on there that I've been meaning to try. kelley—the road goes ever ever on
ReplyDeleteKelley: I hope you can soon!
DeleteI've liked each of John Green's books, and I've only read one by Melina Marchetta and liked it too. I'll be reading more by her if my library purchases my suggestions. :)
ReplyDeleteHere's Mine @ Pinkindle Reads & Reviews
Angie: Which Melina Marchetta one? Jelicoe Road?
DeleteGood list! I've been trying to think of the authors I'd auto buy too, but ever since The Casual Vacancy, my auto buy was wavered a bit, lol.
ReplyDeleteJenni: LOL, I wondered about that!
DeleteI own and have read most of Hemingway's books. I'll buy anything by Geraldine Brooks and Anne Tyler. I have most of Shannon Hale's books too.
ReplyDeleteUtah Mom: Geraldine Brooks is a good one, I haven't been keeping up her though!
DeleteGood list, I love Maggie Stiefvater, John Green and Markus Zusak as well.
ReplyDeleteLilly: Love them!
DeleteFantastic list! Totally agree with ya on John Green and Maggie :)
ReplyDeleteTop Ten Tuesday @ The Brunette Librarian
The Brunette: John Green and Maggie seem to be very popular on these lists!
DeleteStiefvater is one of my favorites too - my fave by her so far is The Scorpio Races.

Tanya: Yep, me too. I'm already ready to re-read. :)
DeleteI can't believe you picked Markus Zusak. I mean, you hardly ever talk about how much you love him! =P LOL. I'm eager to see what Suzanne Collins comes up with next, and I think Shannon Hale might end up on my auto-buy list one day. I know Princess Academy was a great start! :)
ReplyDeleteMegan: LOL! I know, right? I need to talk him up a little I'm thinking!! :)
DeleteYeah, obviously I agree about Markus. Maggie has convinced me too.
ReplyDeleteOh, and of course Dan too. Can't forget Dan!
ReplyDeleteJenny: I almost forgot him and then I was like, wait, is he NOT the author I bought a freaking 30$ book that I already read? That says a lot.
DeleteOoh. We have three in common, and you have several on here that I seriously considered. Melina Marchetta and Dan Wells, in particular.
ReplyDeleteJessica: This prompt this time has made my TBR and want to read list go crazy more than even the other lists! Argh!
Delete1, 2, 3 & 9!! MOST DEF.
ReplyDeleteJohn Green is on my list, too (http://worducopia.blogspot.com/2013/02/8-authors-id-read-anything-by.html)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of Suzanne Collins, but you're right--I definitely want to know what she'll come up with next!
I can't wait to see what Suzanne Collins will come up with either! She made my list too! Awesome list! I need to try a John Green book...more to read!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
I haven't read most of these authors, so I need to get on that! Definitely like Shannon Hale and Suzanne Collins. J.K. Rowling is a must-buy for me. I would have a hard time narrowing down the rest though!
