It’s Top 10 Tuesday (hosted at The Broke and the Bookish) and the topic is:
Top Ten Popular Authors I’ve Never Read
This was surprisingly hard, because I’ve read so many books in the last couple of years. However, I was able to come up with ten (actually 15, but I cut it down) that have escaped my reading list thus far.
Top Ten Popular Authors I’ve Never Read
Jess
Most of these authors’ books reside on my bookshelf. It isn’t for lack of want, it is for lack of time. Can someone hurry up and invent a few more hours in the day?
Loren
It’s not for lack of want…but like Jess said, there just isn’t enough time in a day to read all the books that I wish. I can’t say that I own any of these authors, with the exception of Sophia Jordan, but they are on my ever long and ever growing TBR list—and because I am me, I will go and buy every single book that each of the authors has released and I will do a happy dance with each book because we will finally be together.

So, that’s it. What popular authors have you managed not to read yet?
I’ve only read a couple from your list. So many authors, so little time.
Of these, I really love Robin LaFevers and I’m not sure she gets enough love! I highly recommend checking her out!
I haven’t read many from your lists! I think Maggie Stiefvater might be right up my alley. I don’t know how I missed her before!
She has some really awesome ones – I own books from three of her series. Yeah, still haven’t picked them up.
Jess, I went to Marissa Meyer’s book signing and I haven’t even read the Lunar Chronicles series, haha! But I picked up Cinder. Robin LaFevers, Grave Mercy is on my March TBR list. And Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo, in my opinion is defiantly a book worth reading!
Loren, you have Claire Legrand on your list. <3. The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls is AMAZING!! And all the other authors I either haven't heard of (oops) or haven't read.
I have the first two books signed by Marissa Meyers (SO can’t wait to read them). Actually I own all of those books, haha. It’s sad, I WANT to read them, I really do.
And funny enough, Claire Legrand’s new book is our Waiting on Wednesday today!
I’ve only read Robin LaFevers, Rick Riordan, and Maggie Stiefvater out of both of your lists! I read Robin’s Middle Grade series (it’s under the name R.L. LaFevers) Theodosia Throckmorton and it was lots of fun! I should really read her His Fair Assassin series…. I’ve read all three MG series of Rick Riordan’s, and love them all. I’m so anxiously anticipating the final installment of The Heroes of Olympus it’s not even funny (same with his upcoming Norse mythology series). As for Maggie Stiefvater, however, I haven’t read any of her work that is completely her own, just her installment of the MG series Spirit Animals. Need to fix that soon….
I do however own Cinder by Marissa Meyer and even had it signed back in October, I’m just debating when I should actually read it since the final book in The Lunar Chronicles comes out in 2015 and I hate long waits.
