Here are some of my favourite authors. I split them up into the two genres that I read the most, fantasy and contemporary.
Top Ten Tuesday, originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is a weekly meme. Thank you for the prompts!

Big same with Leigh Bardugo. It takes a lot for me to *immediately* pick up an author’s book without reading the summary or reviews first, but Leigh Bardugo is one of them because she’s just such a skilled writer! C.S Pacat is one of them too for me!

I’m currently reading Cinder by Marisa Meyer and am loving it, even though I didn’t think I would – huge potential to be an auto buy author in future!!

Yes, I remember back when I picked up Cinder on the whim and ended up falling for Marissa Meyer’s writing. She’s amazing at putting a spin to fairy tales. You should definitely check out Heartless after you finish the Lunar Chronicles ❤

Leigh Bardugo is on my list, too. She just seems to get better as time goes on!
I actually should have added Stephanie Garber to mine, but I didn’t think!

Leigh is just amazing.
I remember falling in love with Caraval, so there was no way I could not add Stephanie Garber to the list. ❤

Oh I love both fantasy and contemporary! I saw Marissa Meyer in lots of lists today and she even made it to mine too. Her books’ concepts are truly interesting.
