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!

Thoughts on Required Reading

This blog post is brought to you by Pride and Prejudice and my AP Lit class. I've been thinking a lot about required reading, probably because I'm having to do so much of it. School comes with many types of required reading. Today, I won't be talking about reading excerpts from textbooks on various subjects, because I think everyone agrees that unless the subject is of particular interest, those readings are boring at best and painful at worst. Instead, I'm talking about being required to read entire works of literature (or, less often, nonfiction). During winter break this year, I was required to read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice . I thought that this would be one of my easiest assignments ever. I LOVE that book. I read it for fun two summers ago and could barely put it down! I was expecting wonderful days curled up on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate, enjoying the chance to revisit one of my favorite novels while still being productive. Best of all...

My Top Ten Books of 2016

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly f eature at The Broke and the Bookish . This week's theme: top ten books of 2016. A little less than a year ago, I started my blog by making a post of my top 10 favorite books of 2015 . And now here we are again! I've come so far in blogging , and it 's really amazing to be creating the same kind of post as my fi rst one again - but I'l l save the nostalgia for my blogo versary post later this week. Last year, all of the books on my list were also on my all-time favorites list. I didn't quite read ten all-time favorites this year, so I added a couple of five-star but not-quite-favorite books to this post. I also didn't include any rereads on this list - I reread quite a few favorite books this year, and that wouldn't be fair to the rest! But anyway, here are my ten favorite books that I read in 2016. 10. THUD! by Terry Pratchett (Discworld #34) I don't think it would really be a list of my favorite books from a ye...

Ten Books I Need More People to Love

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten Underrated/Hidden Gem Books You've Read in the Past Year or So. One of my favorite things to do is get other people to read books I love. That way, I can discuss the boo ks with them, and if I know their tastes well enough, I know I'm givin g them something that they'll love! Unfortunately, I can't do this with the entire world. 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. Here are ten books I've read some what recently that I think really deserve some m ore lo ve. IRON CAST by Destiny Soria: I'll never get tired of diverse books, I 'll never get tired of historical fiction, and I'll never get tired of positive female friendships. When you pu t those all together, they ma ke a book tha...
