Hey guys!
So today I
am back with another Top 10 post. This one is about my Top 10 authors I want to
read completely, so all the novels they have put out so far. In this post I am
only talking about authors who have other series in other universes as well,
which is why I didn´t mention authors like for example Leigh Bardugo. She only
has books out that take part in the Grisha Universe and while I love her books
and want to read all of them she doesn´t qualify for this post. I am planning
on posting another entry where I only talk about these authors who have only
written “one universe” so far soon, so keep your eyes out for that as well!
Gillian
Flynn
You may know
Gilian Flynn as the author of “Gone Girl”, which I own, but haven´t read yet.
What I have read of hers is “Dark Places”, which I liked. It was a very
interesting story, with good atmosphere and an excellent resolvement. Many
people say though it is not their favourite book of hers, so I am really
intrigued what else she has written for me to check out.
Jesse Andrews
One of the
last books I read was “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl”. If you have seen my review
(read it here) you know that I wasn´t the biggest fan nof either the story or
the characters (except for Mr. Gaines, you go Mr. Gaines!), but really liked
the humour and formatting of the book. He recently released a new novel called
“The Haters” and lots of people, who had similar problems, to the ones I had,
say that this one is better than his first book.
George R.
R. Martin
The “Song
of Ice and Fire” series is still a work in progress, but the way Martin crafts
his world, so careful and fleshed out, has me wanting to read his other books.
I love fantasy, which is what he is best at, so I am curious to get more into
other worlds of his e.g. “Dreamsongs”
Jonas
Jonasson
Jonas
Jonasson is the author of “The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the
Window and Dissapeared” (woah that´s a mouthful) I read that one, as well as his
other book “The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden”. Both of these I really liked
and had a great time reading, so I am only waiting until my library gets his
newest release “Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All”.
Morgan Matson
It seems
like Morgan Matson has been making at least one entry on each of my lists so
far. I still haven´t read any of her books, but I will this summer I promise! I
already own “Since You´ve Been Gone” and it is on the top of my Summer TBR
(which is another post of mine, you can read here). Still, from all that I have heard so far I just
know that I will probably love everything she writes, hence the reason she is
on this list.
Brandon Sanderson
Remember
what I said about really liking fantasy? Brandon Sanderson ´s “The Final
Empire” may be the only book of his that I´ve read so far, but it is so so great.
It has left me wanting to read everything else the man has ever published. And
that´s a LOT. This is definitely a long-long term project as most of his books
have about 800 pages each and he seems to publish at least two each year. But
still, just the idea of the cosmere has me in awe and his stories are great, so why not?
Rainbow
Rowell
I am
completely in love with every single one of Rainbow Rowell´s books I have read
so far. Granted, I have not started any of her adult books, but since “Fangirl”
and “Carry On” are one of my favourite books of all time and I liked “Eleanor
and Park” I think I will enjoy her others as well.
Brian K.
Vaughan
Most of you
probably know Brian K. Vaughan as the writer of the hugely popular comic book
series “Saga”. I absolutely love Saga, but recently I have started another
series of his called “Y-The Last Man” (which is also on my Summer TBR). As I
really like this series as well I now want to read more of his work. I have
done some research and I am interested in reading “Ex-Machina” or “Runaways”.
He also just released a new tradeback called “Paperback Girls Vol 1”, which
sounds really cool as well.
John Green
Who hasn´t
heard of John Green? He is the authors of widely popular books like “Looking
for Alaska”, “Papertowns” and, of course, “The Fault in our Stars”. I have read those three and to be honest I wasn´t much of a fan,
especially of “Looking for Alaska” I just found it boring and pretentious. “The
Fault in our Stars” was fine, but I am probably one of the few people that
didn´t cry #sorrynotsorry. “Papertowns” I enjoyed but didn´t love, but still I
am determined to find a John Green book I love, as his short story in “Let it
Snow” was my favourite.
J.K.
Rowling
As you may
or may not know Harry Potter is my favourite series of all time (and my whole
life as well, but let´s not talk about that), so it should come as no surprise
that I want to read more of her novels. Rowling is just a master in
storytelling and I do like a good thriller/crime story, which is what she
writes under her pen name Robert Galbraith, so I hope to pick up her other
books very soon.
Which authors do you want to read completely? And have you read any of the books mentioned above?
Read on xx

The Robert Galbraith books are EXCELLENT and I would definitely recommend them! This is a great post- lots of authors I haven't read at all!
