Authors I Need to Read More Of

A few days ago, I made a post about authors I haven't read yet that I really need to read. But that got me to thinking - there are a lot of cases where I've read some of an author's books, but not all of them!

I didn't count authors where I just haven't caught up with their series, because I already - take a guess - made a post about that! Also, this is in no way a complete list - these are the authors who I should really have read more of by now.
Kasie West is one of my all-time favorite contemporary authors. But can I really still say that if I haven't read any of her last four releases? I actually picked up LUCKY IN LOVE a few months ago, but it just wasn't the right time for me to read it, and I haven't so much as started BY YOUR SIDE, LOVE, LIFE, AND THE LIST, or LISTEN TO YOUR HEART.

I've been mentioning Alexandra Bracken a lot in my latest posts. WAYFARER was in my unfinished series post. THE DREADFUL TALE OF PROSPER REDDING was one of my alleged most anticipated new releases that I still haven't read. And even besides those two, I haven't picked up THE DARKEST LEGACY.

I've read two books by Ryan Graudin, both in the WOLF BY WOLF duology. And I still haven't wrapped that up - I haven't read the novella, IRON TO IRON, yet! I also still haven't read THE WALLED CITY or INVICTUS, which is just shameful.

The Firebird trilogy is one of my all-time favorites. And yet, even though I have so many other Claudia Gray books on my TBR, I still haven't read any of them! At the top of that list is DEFY THE STARS, plus the Star Wars books BLOODLINE, LEIA: PRINCESS OF ALDERAAN, and LOST STARS.

This one isn't quite so bad, since THE AFTERWARD and QUEEN'S SHADOW don't release until next year, but I still feel like I haven't read as much E.K. Johnston as I should have! The one that has been released that I definitely need to get to is A THOUSAND NIGHTS.

I've read three Mindy McGinnis books. Two of them have made it onto my all-time favorites list. And yet somehow I haven't used that as a reason to read all of her other books immediately. HEROINE won't be out until next year, but in the meantime, I can start her two duologies with NOT A DROP TO DRINK and GIVEN TO THE SEA.

I've only read one V.E. Schwab book, which leaves basically everything she's ever written on this list. I already talked about finishing the Shades of Magic series on my unfinished series post, but that still leaves VICIOUS, THIS SAVAGE SONG, and CITY OF GHOSTS!

I've read so many amazing Cat Winters books, and there are so many more I still have to get to! Her released books that I still need to get to are her adult titles, THE UNINVITED and YESTERNIGHT, and she has a book out next year, THE RAVEN'S TALE, that also looks amazing.
Who are some authors you need to read more books by? Tell me in the comments!

  1. KWest is one of my MOST favorite authors! I have read and loved all her books. Even my least favorite book by her got 4 stars (it's the non-5-star blacksheep). I have been really excited that she has been churning out so many books lately.

    1. I've given all her books at least 4 stars too! I'm happy she's been writing so much, but I also feel like I'm slowly drowning in new releases I haven't read...guess there's only one way for me to fix that!

And that means that there are books that I've really enjoyed t hat just aren't widely loved. Why ? I don't know. And that's why I spend so much time trying to get other people to read them.

Ten Unique Books I've Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and the Bookish . This week's theme: ten of the most unique books I've read! ILLUMINAE by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: This one's mostly about the way the story is told. I absolutely love how so many different formats are used and how they all come together to form one story! SIX OF CROWS by Leigh Bardugo: No matter how hard I try, I can't think of any books that compare to this. When you combine the setting and the multiple perspectives and the heist aspect, you get something totally unique.   WOLF BY WOLF by Ryan Graudin: Alternate histories aren't really anything new, but alternate histories plus powers plus motorcycle races? Definitely unique. And definitely amazing. THE SCORPIO RACES by Maggie Stiefvater: The weird thing about this book is that it feels kind of familiar, like it should remind me of another book. But it doesn't. I've never read anything quite like it. MORE HAPPY

My Ten Most Disappointing Reads

As I've read more books, I've generally gotten better at telling whether I'm going to like a book before I read it. Sometimes, though, books trick me - I look at them, think I'm going to love them, and then I don't. That really annoys me, but it makes for good post material - basically, this whole post is going to be me venting about books I really wanted to love. THE WINNER'S CURSE by Marie Rutkoski: I heard so many great things about this series - I still do - and I just don't get it. I read the first book, and I didn't care about anything that was going on, and at this point, there's no way that I'm finishing the series. DASH & LILY'S BOOK OF DARES by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan: I couldn't even finish this one, and you guys know how rarely I DNF books. I thought this was going to be a really cute holiday story, and I've really liked other David Levithan books, but by the time I was just a few chapters in I
