This week's topic is top ten all time favorite authors. Wow, harsh. Okay, here are my picks in no particular order...
1. Meg Cabot
Must reads: THE PRINCESS DIARIES SERIES, Size 12 is Not Fat, Jynx
2. Holly Black
Must reads: THE CURSEWORKERS SERIES, Doll Bones
3. Stephanie Perkins
Must reads: Anna and the French Kiss, Lola and the Boy Next Door, Isla and the Happily Ever After
4. Melina Marchetta
Must reads: The Piper's Son (and by extension Saving Francesca), Jellicoe Road
5. Sarah J. Maas
Must reads: The Throne of Glass series
6. Ann M. Martin
Must reads: The Baby-Sitter's Club series (obviously)
7. Rainbow Rowell
Must reads: Eleanor & Park, Fangirl, Attachments
8. Courtney Summers
Must reads: Some Girls Are, Cracked Up to Be
9. Gayle Forman
Must reads: Where She Went (and yeah, If I Stay), I Was Here
10. J.K. Rowling
Must reads: The Harry Potter series (Did I really even have to say this?)
I had a tough time choosing these ladies for sure. My big criteria was that I had to love everything that I had read by them. There were a few authors that were so close to making the cut, but I had lukewarm feelings on one of their books so I cut them. What do you guys think, have any recommendations based on my list? Let me know in the comments!
