These are not in any particular order, but I feel like I talk about these authors all the time! (which would make sense because they are my favorite.)
1. J.K. Rowling - Duh.
2. Lemony Snicket - Growing up he was one of my favorite authors and the fact that he inserted himself into the Unfortunate Events. I haven't read his other series but I love him!
3. Marissa Meyer - I LOVE her fairytale retelling series and everything she's written is beautiful and clever and amazing and she was quickly added to my list last year. I cannot wait to finish The Lunar Chronicles and anything she writes in the future.
4. Rainbow Rowell - She has recently joined the ranks of my all time favorite authors because I can't get enough of her writing. I believe there are only two of her books that I haven't read but that will be rectified soon.
5. John Green - I have mad respect for this author and I can go back to his books again and again. He knows how to make me cry and feel deeply, I love that about his writing.
6. Marie Lu - I love her storytelling and her characters. She wrote a trilogy that finished strong and I love that! She's definitely high on my list of all time favorite authors. I cannot wait to read her next series.
7. Kate DiCamillo - I love all her books, every single one of them. She has a way of telling stories and dealing with hard topics and beautifully writes not only for kids but for everyone who loves a good story.
8. Harper Lee - She may be publishing a book this summer, but she once said that she only had one story to share and she did and that was enough for her. I love how confident she was in herself and her abilities. She was genuinely writing for herself.
Quite a few of these authors are also on my list. I remember reading Kate DiCamillo's books when I was growing up, so good!

I hadn't read any Kate DiCamillo until I was 19 or 20. I took a children's lit class at school and fell in love with her then! She is just extraordinary.
DeleteGreat list! I still haven't read To Kill a Mockingbird - I need to get on that!
ReplyDeleteHarper Lee will change your life! It's so good, I hope you enjoy it when you do read it. :D
DeleteTotal DUH on JKR haha, of course she made my list too ♥ I love Meyer but didn't include her (oops!) and I've only read one book by Rowell but I loved it and hastily added the rest of her books to my tbr shelf :) I still need to read Lu, Green and Lemony Snicket *cringe* but I will read them all! Awesome list^^

Thanks! Lu, Green and Lemony Snicket are all wonderful for different reasons. I hope you enjoy their books! :D
DeleteI love Marie Lu's books! Have you read The Young Elites? It's such an amazing book.

I haven't read The Young Elites yet, but it's on my list. In fact, I was just thinking about how I need to read that. It might be time to pick it up!
DeleteYes yes yes to Rowling, Snicket, Lee, and DiCamillo!
ReplyDeleteI just finished Cinder last week, and am super excited to start Scarlet. :)
OH! I hope you like The Lunar Chronicles! They are so great and they keep getting better. My head is exploding waiting for Winter. :)
DeleteJK Rowling made my list too, and I do love A Series of Unfortunate Events, so if I'd had more than ten spaces I would have put Lemony Snicket in as well.
ReplyDeleteLemony Snicket's books were my childhood read with my dad and they were so much fun.
