Top Ten Tuesday #12

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Books I Still Need to Read by Some of My Favorite Authors

This week’s prompt is a freebie. Last Tuesday while I was commenting on other blogs, Nicole (Bookwyrm Knits) decided to go with a throwback prompt rather than the one regarding classics (I don’t blame her at all, ha ha). I loved the prompt she chose so much that I’ve decided to do it as my freebie this week. Without further ado, here are my top ten books I still need to read by some of my favorite authors:

Some of these books have been on my TBR for so long. I mostly haven’t read them because I’m a slow reader and I haven’t had a chance to read them yet with all the other books vying for my attention.

What about you? Which books by your favorite authors have you not read yet? Do we have any in common?

    Great TTT list! I still need to read The Starless Sea, too. I really loved The Night Circus, so I don’t know why I keep stalling on reading this one.

    You have such great taste in books! There’s so many books on my TBR that fall into this category – but currently I’m working my way through Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s books, because the three that I read already were so good!

    Great topic! I loved The Lunar Chronicles books, but haven’t read any of Marissa Meyer’s later books, so I should probably pick up at least one and give it a try. I do want to read all the “Jane” books — I have the first one on my Kindle, and keep meaning to give it a try!

      I loved Cinder. I’ve just never gone on. Too many books vying for my attention.

      I loved My Lady Jane. I thought it was hilarious and I loved the historical fiction sprinkled in with the fantasy. I’m excited to see what they do to Jane Eyre and Calamity Jane. 🙂

    Nicole consistently comes up with great topics, doesn’t she?

    I’ve read Ballad, Scarlet, and Winterkeep. I didn’t care for Ballad but I hope you do! I love The Lunar Chronicles, especially on audio, so I hope you read Scarlet soon. I read Winterkeep then realized that I had completely skipped Bitterblue! Oops. I did add it to my TBR so I’ll correct that oversight at some point.

    Great list!

      She really does! 🙂 I hope to get to Scarlet sooner rather than later as well. It all just depends on mood and challenge shuffling. You should go back and read Bitterblue. It’s really good. I liked it a lot.

      That’s good to know. I used to be able to keep up with Cassandra Clare’s crazy publishing schedule, but now I can’t because she publishes so many books each year. I often wonder if she has time to sleep or do anything but write.

    I like this prompt you chose this week! I didn’t know there was another book in the Hunger Games series. I read the first I read the first Graceling and Scarlet but didn’t go further, and the first 3 or so Throne of Glass entries. This must have been fun to think about and write. Hope you read some more of these.

      It was a lot of fun to think about and reminded me of books I need to get too. 🙂 Hopefully, I’ll be able to read them sooner rather than later.

      That makes sense about Sarah J Maas. I’ve only read Throne of Glass so I haven’t run into that problem yet. Hopefully, I won’t for a while and I’ll enjoy her books. 🙂

    I also haven’t read The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins, even though I loved The Hunger Games Trilogy! My own TTT topic this week – Books That Have Been on My TBR For Too Long – does feature some books by favourite authors too! 😅

      I think there isn’t a way to include your favorite authors when you create a list about books that have been on your TBR for too long, right? It’s inevitable, especially for us readers, lol.
