Clare made me love Steampunk with her Infernal Devices series. I know she's mostly renowned for the Mortal Instruments, and to me, an author who is able to juggle two successful series at the same time is quite remarkable.
Another author with a book to movie adaptation, is Dessen. Her work is always character driven, leaving the reader with a complete profile of the MC in and out.
I'm happy to mention Rowling in this countdown. It means that no matter how many books I read, her work remain with me. She is such a magical being.
Awww, these book covers should have been kept. Of course, no matter what the covers look like, the words inside remain the same -- enchanting.
Love her mysteries, particularly, the Heist Society series, which was supposed to be turned into a movie but sadly, never did.
I might not have been Paper Towns biggest fan, but that doesn't mean I would exclude Green from this list. I still feel he wrote a masterpiece with The Fault in our Stars.
The way Desjardins represents the single women of today struggling with Instagram, Tinder, and grandmas who refuse to give family recipes because ''they are written for a family of four'' is funny/bitter/funny again. I can't wait for these to be translated in English.
I loved her even before this book, does that count?
History was never a favorite topic of mine until I encountered a Meyer book. I've been collecting them and sharing them ever since.
He's a genius to me. His writing is funny/clever. And there is always opportunity to do voices. Hope to one day be able to write a children's book with half his wit.
I do love Mo Willems! I can't believe I forgot Richelle Mead and John Green. It was hard to narrow it down to ten. I would have added JK Rowling, but I decided to list YA only and she's technically not YA. Great list!

You never know, lol, after her switch to adult.
DeleteOOh nice! Some new to me ones here but I too chose Richelle Mead! Love her books! And though I didn't specify Rowling, it's pretty much a given that every Top Ten Tuesdays includes Harry Potter/J.K. Rowling! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

Very true! She's great :)
DeleteI just recently read We Were Liars and really, really enjoyed it. It was my first E. Lockhart book, but I'm definitely interested in reading more from her. Do you have any recommendations for what I should go for first?
ReplyDeleteGreat list, by the way!
The Boyfriend List is good :)
Deletei can't believe i forgot John Green! great list!
ReplyDeleteI almost put John Green and Richelle Mead on my list, but didn't have the room. I definitely want to look into Mo Willems. I've heard good things!
ReplyDeleteOkay, first all I have to say I love the box of chocolates pic:) So pretty and yummy;) Cassandra Clare and Richelle Mead are obviously on my list. John Green was good, just not my favorite. Can't wait for Paper Towns movie though:) Awesome list!
