Top Ten Tuesday (12)


Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!
 
Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun!


Top Ten Eleven Authors That I'd Put On My Auto-Buy List (basically an auto-buy list is no questions asked..you love this author so much that no matter what they wrote next you'd buy regardless of genre or subject matter)
*Yes, I'm cheating by adding 11, but I couldn't make it just 10*


Kasie West
1.) Kasie West - It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Kasie's ... even though she's only written one book. But when you love and author, you just do. It's in your gut. I cannot wait to get my hands on her contemporary she has coming out this year, The Distance Between Us. It sounds nothing like Pivot Point - but I don't care. I'll buy anything Kasie writes forever.

2.) Andrea Cremer - I'll admit, my adoration of Andrea suffered at the end of Bloodrose, but bottom line, she is a phenomenal storyteller. I own everything she's written and I don't see that changing. She has several novels coming out this year and I plan to buy each of them.
Cara Lynn Shultz

3.) Cara Lynn Shultz - Another author I absolutely adore not only for her writing but because she's someone I'd love to grab a drink with. She only has 2 books out (why are there only two books?!) but they are two of my all-time favorite novels. Ever.

4.) Aimee Carter - I love the way Aimee tells a story. I love her pacing, character development and dialogue. The Goddess Test series is a favorite of mine, and I am so, so excited to see what she has in store with her new series that debuts later this year.

5.) Kiera Cass - I knew I would love Kiera forever when she not only met my expectations for The Selection but then proceeded to raise the bar higher in The Elite. Mind = BLOWN. Any author that can make the sequel better than the original gets my vote.


Jennifer Armentrout
6.) Jennifer Armentrout - I've happily read everything Jennifer has written, both as Jennifer Armentrout and J. Lynn. I read her YA series', her adult series', standalones ... You name it and I will read it. She has such a gift for original plots as well as unique, memorable, and HOT characters. She's written some of the steamiest scenes I've come across.

7.) Miranda Kenneally - Miranda has some of the best characters I've ever read in any book genre. Her plots are unique, original, and utterly romantic. I am completely in love with her Hundred Oaks series, and I will happily read whatever she puts out. Even a book on the migratory pattern of herons. 

8.) Richelle Mead - There is something about Richelle is just love. Maybe it's that while she writes YA, I never feel like she talks down to the reader or dumbs things down for the younger generation. Her writing has an intelligence that my mind craves.

9.) Veronica Rossi - Veronica is another author who I respect immensely for her originality and creativity. In a world full of YA dystopians she did was few did - she set herself apart. She made characters I fell hard and fast for. Did I mention she also gave my niece, Aria, a shoutout when she was born? 

Sarah Skilton
10.) Sarah Skilton - Sarah is one of those authors I just click with. She's a total sweetheart and, oh yeah, an amazing writer. Her debut completely blew me away. The way she writes is so evoactive and visceral. Her books make me feel - I laugh outloud, I cry, I grin ... Is there anything better than an author that elicites a physical reaction from a reader?

11.) Brigid Kemmerer - Brigid is one of those people that while I love her for her awesome writing skills (and that amazing ability she has to put 5 hot guys into one novel repeatedly), she just seems like a totally cool person outside of writing. She's cool and fun and she infuses all that awesomesauce into her writing. How could I not want all of her books?

  1. Ummmmm yes to this list of epicness Hannah! Kasie West is a new favorite, Pivot Point just blew me away and I'm so excited that we're getting another book from her this year! I'm sure Sarah Skilton will be on my list after I read Bruised, and I just adore Jennifer Armentrout and Brigid Kemmerer. I have mad love for all of these ladies.

  6. I love that you included Cara Lynn Shultz. I have read Spellbound a zillion times. I love to re-read that book. I haven't read the second in the series, though. I'm sort of nervous about it, although I have no idea why. I think it's because I don't want to see Brendan and Emma having relationship problems. But actually now that I am thinking about it, I totally want to reread Spellbound again.

    Oh and heck yeah to JLA! I love her YA books, and I am ridiculously excited for her New Adult book!!!!
