Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by the Broke and the Bookish, and this week I am naming ten authors who I would like to demand another book from, since their debut blew me away. Let's see if I can make it to ten, shall we?
1. Erin Morgenstern
Erin Morgenstern's debut novel stunned me into silence (maybe not literally--I usually don't shut up). Ever since I read it I have been wondering this: when is she going to publish another book? I am dying to get my hands on another novel comprised of her beautiful words.
2. Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton
This book is reminiscent of Pretty Little Liars with ballet thrown in. The dramatics are cutthroat and the ending left me hanging--basically, I have no choice but to read the sequel.
3. Ava Dellaira
I recently read this book and was astounded to find out it was a debut novel. I am excited to see what else the author will do with her skill for writing and understanding of human emotion.
4. Erika Johansen
Okay, okay--I know this one already has a sequel. I just haven't read it yet. But I promise that I will. I intend to read all the books I can before book burnings become a thing again (which is hopefully never). Burn books and I'll burn you. (Not really). (But, seriously, don't harm books).
5. Michelle Hodkin
This is technically a debut series, but I'm counting it anyway and also counting on Michelle Hodkin to write another soon. Please?
Oh, look, I didn't make it to ten. Oops.
I totally forgot about Night Circus and Love Letters to the Dead being debuts! I really enjoyed both and can't wait to see what they do next. Great list!!
ReplyDeleteAnd they're such BRILLIANT debuts, too! I am dying for the next books by those authors... Thanks for commenting, Grace! <3
DeleteTHE NIGHT CIRCUS IS A-MA-ZING. I love it so much and I can't wait to see what Erin Morgenstern does next. The Queen of the Tearling is actually sitting on my bookcase I just haven't read it yet. :-0 Oops?
ReplyDeleteI remember your review of Tiny Pretty Things! It actually sounds quite interesting, if not just for the ballet aspect. I wish I could dance so so much! :-D Brilliant list, as always Erin!
The Night Circus is--hands down--one of the best fantasy stand alone's ever. And The Queen of the Tearling is such a solid book, meaning that you need to READ it! XD And I still think you would enjoy Tiny Pretty Things, even if it is dramatic. The dance parts are worth it. Thanks for commenting, Rebekah!
DeleteTHE NIGHT CIRCUS <3 I've been wanting to read that book since last year :( Somebody lend me a copy please because I never have the time to buy a book for myself ^_^" I read Unbecoming, but I don't think I'll be looking forward to the next books because I have very mixed feelings about it haha
ReplyDeleteGreat post Erin! :D

You have GOT to read The Night Circus as soon as humanly possible! It is perfection in a book. And I'm sorry that you didn't like The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting, Jillian!
DeleteAHH I REALLY WANT TO READ MARA DYER SO SO MUCH. *flails wildly* and one day I'll get to Night Circus...oooone day. XD
ReplyDeleteI really want a sequel from Jennifer Niven because All the Bright Places was just TOO WILDLY WONDERFUL. (Although, I mean, she's written adult books. But I want a YA sequel. xD)
IT IS SO CREEPY AND EERIE AND HORRIFYING. So, clearly, I loved it. AND THE NIGHT CIRCUS IS PERFECTION, CAIT. READ IT ALREADY!!! I haven't gotten around to All the Bright Places, but I have heard mixed reviews. Anyway, thanks for commenting!
