Thanks so much Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl for hosting this amazing weekly meme! I always look forward to Tuesdays now, and today is a super fun but stressful one because I officially leave for Hawaii tomorrow morning! Check out Jana’s page (I linked her most recent review so you can check it out) and clicking on the banner leads to the topics for the upcoming T10T posts.



I absolutely love The Vampire Academy series, and then after loving Soundless, I knew that she was on my auto-buy list.

I can’t wait for Thomas to keep writing more books. The Hate U Give immediately sold me on her, and I still need to read On The Come Up, but I know I’m going to love it.

I can’t get enough of Bardugo’s work! Not just in the Grisha verse, but especially her Wonder Woman novel!

I absolutely love how Chupeco writes her novels. I’d buy anything that she writes, seriously.

I’m obsessed with Cho! Whatever she is going to write next, I know I’m gonna get it.

I immediately bought Reflection by Lim, and was freaking so glad that she was the one that wrote this Twisted Tale. Then when I heard about Spin the Dawn, I did a pre-order for it. I think it’s official that anything Lim will write, I will buy.

So far there hasn’t been a Meyer book that I don’t like. From the Lunar Chronicles, to Heartless, to Renegades. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

From the Iron Fey series, to the Talon series, and now Shadow of the Fox?! I have so much Kagawa on my shelves and I don’t mind getting more!

Anything by Riordan is amazing, and I’m so glad that he has his imprint, because those books have been magical.

The rise and fall of Darrow was one that I could even get my husband into, which means that anything Brown rights, I know will be enjoyed by the entire household. Either way, I’m getting anything Brown writes.

I sometimes forget that I usually read books from female authors. Like the majority of the books I read are written by female authors. I love it honestly. Nothing wrong with male authors. Just trying to spread my wings. Who are the auto-buy authors on your list? Should I include someone (Jay Kristoff maybe?) Let me know what you think!


Great list! I keep meaning to try the Red Rising books and I need to cross The Hate U Give off my TBR. Can I sneak in your luggage to Hawaii please?

I hope you love the Red Rising books! That’s honestly the one book that my husband actually liked and read (he’s not a reader, don’t know how I picked him lol) And uh yeah you can totally come with me ❤ Let's go!

Richelle Mead! I’ve got to get back to her books. Vampire Academy remains one of my favorite all time series and I think I’ve read it about 6-8 times (I have them on audiobook too so I’ve lost count). I need to catch up on Leigh Bardugo and Marissa Meyer too! Oh and I can’t believe I haven’t read Iron Gold yet. Too many books, not enough time! Great list!

Oh gosh yes! I need to listen to them as well. I bought the boxed series and it’s on my desk like a glorified shrine for her lol. I know I need to read the spin off series, but I just love Rose so much that I don’t know if I want to not read about her lol.

Yes I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Spin the Dawn! I’ve already heard such amazing things about it that I don’t know what’s keeping me from reading it. I think I want to devote my whole attention to it rather than just listen on and off, or read it on and off in between work and stuff lol.

Fair enough. I think it’s the kind of book that I’d like to start on a Friday so I can stay up all night reading it and then sleep in when I finally finish it at 6AM on Saturday 😂 I’m excited!

I STILL haven’t read THUG. I am just so into my fantasy reads the last few years it is hard to fit in contemporary. And I really need to get on Rin Chupeco’s books.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Oh yeah you gotta read THUG when you get a chance! I say you gotta be in the right mindset to read that one though. I was so angry reading it, I think I even cried at a few parts and I don’t usually cry reading books. I still have to watch it honestly. I mean if it made Angie Thomas cry watching it, then it must have been really good. Rin Chupeco is also so amazing ❤ The Bone Witch is what hooked me on her.

Wow. Like 90% of these authors are on my TBR, but I haven’t actually read any of their work. xD How did I manage that?! I’m glad that you enjoy them, and I’m looking forward to discovering their work in the future. 😀 I definitely agree about Julie Kagawa, though! I haven’t read her earlier series (though I need to), but I’m really enjoying Shadow of the Fox!

Sammie ❤ My fave. That's me too honestly. I'm terrible at this. I'll buy it without reading it and I think there was that tweet going around about buying books versus reading books or something lol. It was totally me. So I totally get how you managed it because that is also me.
I'm so glad you are! I need to read that ASAP.

Still have to read a novel by Marissa Meyer, but hope I accomplish this soon! I did just order Elizabeth’s “Spin the Dawn” because it’s supposed to be good… so I’m curious! Hope you have an amazing trip, Leelynn!! 🙂 Thanks for visiting Finding Wonderland.

Rissi! If you want one that doesn’t require you to read a sequel or series, I say Heartless. That one actually broke my heart but I loved it! And since it’s a standalone novel, there’s no need for me to wait for the sequel, although it makes you wish there was one lol. Oh yay! Let me know what you think of Spin the Dawn. Thank you so much 🙂 And I love visiting Finding Wonderland 🙂
