Top Ten Tuesday is a feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s theme is: “Top Authors I’ve Only Read One Book From But NEED to Read More”.
This is a hard one! Once I find an author I like, I usually try to keep going. Plus, so many books are a series, that by default I read more than one. (The book I have read is pictured and links to Goodreads, and the author name links take you to their Goodreads page!)
1. Caragh O’Brien Of course I want to read the second book of whatever series The Vault of Dreamers is in, but I also want to read Birthmarked.
2. Jillian Cantor Sure, I do want more Searching for Sky, but I am also wanting to read more! Margot sounds so amazing (and obviously heart-wrenching), and basically, I just adored the way she wrote in Searching For Sky.
3. Aimee Carter Clearly, I need Captive now. Sooner than now. Yesterday would work. But then I found out she has a whole other series. And, I haven’t read it!
4. Jessica Shirvington She has all kinds of books I have never heard of! Since I pretty much adored One Past Midnight (review is coming soon, promise!), I will definitely be checking out her other books!
5. Victoria Scott Obviously, I need Salt & Stone in my life ASAP, but I also would like to read the Dante Walker series at some point, since seemingly everyone else has!
6. Trisha Leaver Creed was a real piece of work. I mean that in a good, and freakish way. I couldn’t sleep the other night when I finished it (almost entirely in one sitting, which is really rare for me). I am so unbelievably excited for her upcoming book The Secrets We Keep too!
7. Jenny Han Again, I desperately need P.S. I Still Love You, but there is such a plethora of Jenny Han’s work out there, and I am really looking forward to reading it soon!
8. Michael Grant Okay, okay, I have only read Gone, and the first few chapters of Hunger. But, I will read the series someday! I will. I need to know what happens. Also, Messenger of Fear sounds kind of awesome too.
9. Abigail Haas Obviously, Dangerous Boys must happen. I’d also like to read some of the stuff she has written as Abby McDonald too!
10. Sarah Dessen True story, I own like, three Sarah Dessen books. I just haven’t read them. I really liked The Truth About Forever too, I don’t know why I haven’t read them yet!
I absolutely adored Dangerous Boys. Abigail Haas is an amazing writer. I’ve read one book from her as Abby McDonald. I didn’t like it quite so much as the Dangerous… books.
I got Dangerous Boys in the mail today, so Abigail Haas will be exiting this list VERY soon 😉
Ha, I have exactly the same with Sarah Dessen. I’ve read The Truth About Forever and I just haven’t picked up any of her other work yet. I need to, because everyone seems to love her work to bits.
I agree! People do adore her. Too funny that we both read the same one book, yet none of the others 🙂
Definitely Sarah Dessen! She’s awesome 😀 Or, well, she was. Her latest book (Moon & More) left something to be desired though. Still her older stuff is great!
I have The Moon & More on my Kindle, thanks for the heads up! I’ll go in with lower expectations. 🙂
Oh, this is good to know! I think I have some of the older stuff, so that’s good, thanks for the heads up 🙂
Yes yes to Abigail Haas. If you liked DG you will NOT be disappointed with DB. I promise it. 😉 And Michael Grant?! AFSJDAKFLD Only favourite author ever! I think (I have no idea, my blog schedule slips my mind all the time) I’m reviewing Messenger of Fear this week. And by “review” I mean “flail”. I just love all his books so much. I’ve read 9 of them!! DEDICATION.
Yes, I plan on reading DB ASAP! And I know you adore Michael Grant, I am so sorry that I have fallen behind on his books! I really do intend to read them, I promise. And I am looking forward to this Messenger of Fear review!
I hope you read all of Jenny Han and Sarah Dessen books, they are all truly amazing. And Dante Walker series is good also. I have yet to read anything by the other authors you mentioned.
Thanks! I definitely hope to read them all someday! Ah, I wish I had more time to read ALL the books 🙂
I’m also dying to read PS I Love You by Jenny Han. 2015 is so far away! 🙂 I haven’t read any of the other authors actually. Except for Jenny Han, who’s also on my list 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Here’s My TTT 🙂
I neeeed PS I Still Love you! NEED. Ugh.
I really enjoyed all of Jenny Han’s books that I have read. The Summer trilogy was impossible to put down! I want to pick up her Burn for Burn series soon too. I recommend Keeping the Moon from Sarah Dessen, as it is one of my favorites by her along with The Truth About Forever.
Oh yay, thanks for the recommendations!! I always wonder which one to pick next, I will definitely be checking those out!
Great list! Jenny Han has certainly been on my radar after reading To All the Boys I Loved Before 🙂
My TTT
Thanks! I definitely can’t wait to read more from her 🙂
I know how you feel there are so many good books out there that sometimes some get forgotten. Usually when I find an author I like I stick with them, so the only ones where I’ve read only one of their books have just started writing like Chelsea Pitcher who wrote the Last Changeling (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18658149-the-last-changeling) Maggie Stiefvater is the only author who’s written more, but I’ve only read one book by her, Sinner and I enjoyed it so I plan to go back and read the others.
Yes, this is exactly my problem! I get all into one author, and buy ALL the books. I guess it’s good that am loyal? 😉
I really enjoyed Victoria Scott’s writing as well! MORE PLEASE.
Agreed 🙂
It’s so sad that I haven’t read ANY OF THESE. I need to get on my game. But Dangerous Girls does sound really awesome, I have that on my MUST BUY list 😀
YES you must! Dangerous Girls is… insane. Just insane!
Victoria Scott is on my list too!! I really enjoyed Fire & Flood and now I want to know why everyone is in love with Dante Walker. And oh, I forgot about Aimee Carter! Again, I enjoyed Pawn (so twisty and puzzling). I need to read more of hers! Ooh, I’m so happy that you loved Creed! I’m so excited to read that one (but it doesn’t come out until November, right?). And clearly I need to read Jenny Han and Abigail Haas.
Me too! People have like, Dante buttons and stuff all over the place. Who is this dude?! Pawn is AMAZING! I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did, but man it was good!
Yep Creed comes out in November. It was horrifying. I don’t know if I can even say I *liked* it (because that would make me messed up as a human) but it was… intense.
Omg I didn’t even know book 2 in the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before has a name!! Thanks for letting me know! I also need to read a Victoria Scott book soon….
Eileen @ BookCatPin
Definitely read a Victoria Scott book! I loved Fire & Flood. And I may have already pre-ordered P.S. I Still Love You… oops? It doesn’t have a cover, but I already bought it 😉
I’ve only read Micheal Grant and Sarah Dessen off your list…and I didn’t love either of them.
From reviews I’ve pretty much determined that I just picked a bad Sarah Dessen book to start with and I still want to read more of her because I love contemporary and like how could I not?
I also really want to read Jenny Han, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. =)
I hear people enjoy Sarah Dessen, so it could have been an off book. I liked the one I read, but I think I could only read them occasionally, contemporary and I have to mingle in small doses 😉 And I hope my time with Michael Grant gets better. Because Gone… I almost DNFed.
Aimée Carter is on my list too, but I’ve only read book one of The Goddess Test series by her. I’ve heard of Victoria Scott and Sarah Dessen but haven’t got around to reading any of their books yet!
My TTT post~
Sherlyn @ Mermaid With A Book
It;s so hard- so many great books, not enough time 🙂
You need to read the Gone series by Michael Grant!
I had Jenny Han on my list as well.
Check out my TTT list here! 🙂
I definitely do! Six books is… a commitment though 😉
I got To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before a couple of weeks back and for some reasons, I haven’t started reading it.. I really need to do so soon..
czai @ the Blacksheep Project
Oh yes, for sure! It is really good! Hope you love it as much as I did 🙂
Thanks for the shout-out, Shannon. Crazy thrilled that you liked CREED, and my heartfelt apologies for any nightmares it may have spawned 🙂 THE SECRETS WE KEEP is coming your way shortly!
Absolutely! The book was INSANE. I could not put it down. Like, I wanted them all out of there, and I couldn’t stop reading until it happened! I really think it was one of the most unique and terrifying books I have ever read, it was quite a ride, I cannot wait for The Secrets We Keep!
