Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by
This weeks top ten gives bloggers a chance to go back and participate in a top ten that they missed. I chose my top ten favorite authors. I did a similar post WAY back in October (when I had just started blogging) called Top Ten Authors that Made me Love YA Literature. There are so many authors that I couldn’t resist this one! They aren’t really in order of “favoritness” 🙂 It was REALLY hard to limit it to ten.
1. John Green: If I had to pick one all time favorite author I think it’s be John Green. I basically love everything about his books.
2. Neil Gaiman: Stardust is one of my all time favorite books. I love the variety that Gaiman writes. Picture books, a Newbery winner, graphic novels, fantasy, an episode of Dr. Who… he does it all!
3. Holly Black: If you follow me on twitter or have read my blog before you probably know that I adore Holly Black’s books. The Curse Workers series is one of my favs. I love the worlds she creates. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous.
4. C.S. Lewis: I’ve grown up reading his works. He has long been a favorite.
5. Meg Cabot: She’s my top read author on goodreads. I’ve read nearly everything she has published and I think there is only one of her books I didn’t love!
6. Tamora Pierce: The Alanna books were some of my first high fantasy reads. I then proceeded to read anything I could get my hands on by Pierce. It was love!
7. Louisa May Alcott: I’ve collected antique books since I was in middle school. Little Men was one of the first ones I ever bought with my own money. I just adore reading books written in the past. I love the language and learning more about what life and society were like.
8. Mark Twain: I love how witty and intelligent his books can be! Such an interesting man!
9. Sarah Dessen: Her books have the girly-ness I crave as well as interesting and engaging stories. Love!
10. Robin McKinley: I just think she is fantastic. I love her fairy tale retellings. Pretty sure I’ve fanned girled about her plenty of times!!!

Twain is great. I just started reading YA again about a year ago, and Green is one of my new favs.
Here is my list

Many of these are new to me. I love Twain and have read several of his books. You’ve given me some people to look into, thanks!

I love a few of these authors as well (John Green, Sarah Dessen, Louisa May Alcott, Mark Twain). I’m wondering… did you read Little Men before reading Little Women?
