Top Ten Authors That I'd Put On My Auto-Buy List
(basically an auto-buy list is no questions asked..you love this author
so much that no matter what they wrote next you'd buy regardless of
genre or subject matter)
Huh, tough one. I don't think I can gather up ten of those, but I do have some ultimate favorites where I already own all their works, no questions asked.
1. J K Rowling - Last thing I bought from her was The Casual Vacancy. I knew the book was coming out and I knew I'm going to buy it. I did it on the day of the release not even knowing what exactly I just bought. But I loved the book and I plan to buy anything from her in the future, even if it's a phone book.
2. George R R Martin - Same as for JKR, I love this author so much I plan to buy the next thing he publishes without so much as a blink. I already have all of his works (I think) and I cannot wait for more.
3. John Green - Even though I didn't love every single of his books I would gamble with the next one he publishes and buy it without even looking it up before. I adore his work and I hope to read something else by him soon.
4. Agatha Christie - I have been a fan since I was little and my mom introduced me to the author with her own copies of Christie's novels. I am currently in the process of buying all her books, I am filling my shelves with Hercule Poirot now. She may not publish anything anymore but in case she left some hidden or unfinished stories, I'd buy them.
5. Richelle Mead - Every single book I've read from her by now was one of my favorites, I absolutely adore her work, she's a genius. I have all her books either on my "read" shelf or my wishlist, slowly making my way through them. I will absolutely read anything from her.
That would be all. I have many other authors I really like but I don't think they qualify for an auto-buy just yet. Who made your list?
This weekly meme is from The Broke and the Bookish.

John Green made my list, as did J.K Rowling. They could probably write a book about watching paint dry and I'd read it and love it. Great list!

I'm the same as you with Agatha Christie - it was my mum's enthusiasm and her books that got me into this genre and her books and I've loved her ever since.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree about Jo as well! :)
Martin and Mead are 2 of my favorites too! Awesome list :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, we both said almost the exact same thing about Agatha Christie, AND you're the only other list I've seen so far that picked her.

I still haven't bought the Casual Vacancy yet and I don't think I will, but I WILL read every children's book Rowling writes :) Also: John Green, because DUH. And you know about my new-found love for Richelle Mead! :D
ReplyDeleteI tried reading the Casual Vacancy and I just couldn't get into it. Oooh, I still haven't read any of John Green's book yet and I really want to start reading Agatha Christie's novels!
ReplyDeleteGreat list :)
