It is Top Ten Tuesday! It is a meme that was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week’s topic is Authors I Haven’t Read, But Want To. There are so many authors that fall into this category. I actually had to edit my initial list because I had about 20 on there. So, here are my top 10 authors who I hope to read soon!!

Lyssa Kay Adams

The Bromance Book Club series

~ I have been wanting to read The Bromance Book Club ever since it first came out, and now it is a whole series and I still haven’t started it. Not sure what is holding me up, but she was the first author I thought of when I saw this prompt!

Sabaa Tahir

An Ember in the Ashes series

~ I have seen so many people wax poetic about An Ember in the Ashes, and I still haven’t started it. I own the first book, and it just taunts me every time I pass it by. I’m hoping to start it this year, but we will see.

Anna-Marie McLemore

Blanca & Roja; Wild Beauty; The Weight of Feathers

~ I have several books by Anna-Marie McLemore on my TBR shelf, and I still have yet to actually pick one of them up. I’m hoping to change that this year as well.

Roald Dahl

Matilda; Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; The Witches

~ It kind of boggles my mind that I have never actually read any of Roald Dahl’s books. I have seen so many movies based on his books, but never read one. I’m hoping to get to at least one of them this year.

Brigid Kemmerer

A Curse So Dark and Lonely series

~ This is another series that I meant to start a long time ago and just never got around to. And now I’m nervous that I have over-hyped it in my head. Hopefully it will live up to all I have anticipated it will be.

T.J. Klune

The House in the Cerulean Sea; Under the Whispering Door

~ The House in the Cerulean Sea was so hyped last year and I just never picked it up. I own it. I am fully capable of reading it at any time. I just haven’t done it yet.

Christina Lauren

Autoboyography; Love and Other Words; Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating

~ So many people absolutely love Christina Lauren books, and I have so many of them on my ‘want to read’ shelf on Goodreads. Maybe I will actually pick one of them up this year. Which one would you start with?

Lisa Maxwell

The Last Magician series

~ I saw Lisa Maxwell speak at a book convention a few years ago, and I bought her book The Last Magician then. It has been sitting on my shelf ever since. Why do I do this?

K.A. Tucker

The Simple Wild series

~ The Simple Wild book series has been recommended to me so many times and I still haven’t started it. I’m pretty sure I will love it…just as soon as I pick it up already.

Stuart Turton

The 7.5 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

~ The fact that I have still not read The 7.5 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is incredibly frustrating to one of my dear friends. I really, really intend to finally read it this year!!
