Top Ten Favorite Authors Ever
Did they say forever ever?? Hardest. List. Ever!!! I'm going to have to put childhood and now authors on here.... ughhh SO hard!
1. Courtney Summers- because she's my fave!
2. Laurie Halse Anderson- because she got me back into YA... and holy shit Speak was incredible!
3. Sarah Ockler- because her books make me feel!
4. R.L. Stine- because duh!!
5. Sarah Mlynowski- because her books are ADORABLE and make me smile!
6. E. Lockhart- read every book by her and will continue to read all her books. Her characters!!!
7. J.K. Rowling- Obv.
8. Sarah Dessen- Queen of YA Contemporary.
9. A.S. King- because she's so unique!
10. Caroline B. Cooney- because her books hooked me as a child... and still do!
Borderline/Almost on this list: Maggie Stiefvater
I can't believe I forgot Sarah Dessen! Maybe it's because it's been a while since she's had a book out...I can't wait to read Saint Anything! I love E. Lockhart and Courtney Summers. It was hard to narrow it down to only ten. I would have added Maggie Stiefvater if it was a top 20. Great list!

I'm really excited for Saint Anything too!!!
DeleteLove Courtney Summers and Laurie Halse Anderson's realistic, intense stories. And I completely agree with 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9!
ReplyDeleteFabulous top ten!
Great list! I can't believe I didn't think of R.L. Stine. I loved reading his books growing up. J.K. Rowling made my list as well. Sarah Dessen is another one of my favorites I forgot to add to my list. And the rest of the authors on your list are ones that I have been wanting to read. Love it!

You've got so many brilliant authors on your list! I could have put R.L Stine on my list this week too! I love Laurie Halse Anderson too. Thank you for stopping by my blog earlier. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat list Michelle, Rowling obviously made my list too! Definitely need to re-read HP this year :-) Here's my TTT if you would like to check it out :-) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteR.L. Stine! Amazing choice! I was obsessed with Goosebumps as a kid! I haven't actually read a lot of these authors. I really need to read A.S. King and Laurie Halse Anderson. I've heard great things. Great list!
ReplyDeleteYay for J.K Rowling. I really need to read Courtney Summers books.

I've heard so many good things about AS King (though apparently some of the books are a little weird?) and Speak, but sadly haven't gotten to them yet! Speak is one I want to read for sure. R x

Speak -was- a wonderful read! I need to start reading Sarah Dessen - I keep hearing good things about her. Great list :)
ReplyDeleteI also called Sarah Dessen the Queen of Contemporary on my list--high five! My favorite book of hers is ALONG FOR THE RIDE. If you haven't read THE IMPOSSIBLE KNIFE OF MEMORY by Laurie Halse Anderson you should--it's my favorite book of 2014 and super duper good.

I have yet to read anything by Laurie Halse Anderson, but I have no doubt that her books will be amazing. I already have several of her books on my TBR list, and I can't wait to read them because they all seem to be just my kind of read! :D
