Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl that features a different bookish topic every week.
Today’s topic is Authors I’d Love a New Book From
I’m not sure that I have ten authors for this list. There are definitely a few I’d love more books from, but in general, there are so many authors I love whose works I haven’t finished reading yet, so I feel like it’s unfair to want more books when I haven’t finished the ones they’ve already written!
Authors I’d Love a New Book From
- Madeline Miller – She’s at the top of the list because I desperately need more myth retellings, and from her because she writes them so well!
- Yangsze Choo – This might be unfair because she just published a new book this year, The Fox Wife, but I’ve already finished it, and I need more!
- George R.R. Martin – I know some people have given up on him, but I haven’t. I’m still holding out hope that we’ll see A Song of Ice and Fire finished. Also, I think he might still be publishing other books, but I really need new books for the ASOIAF series specifically.
- Stephen P. Kiernan – He’s an underrated author, and I’ve loved all his books I’ve read! He’s got one new book published last year that I haven’t read yet, but I would still love more books from him so that I can have a whole bunch of them to look forward to.
- Taylor Jenkins Reid – I haven’t read all her books yet, but she’s just an author I love who needs to also provide me with a whole bunch of new books to look forward to!
- Christopher Pike – One of my favorite authors from my childhood years, but he also writes adult novels and I loved them. He hasn’t published anything new in years, and I really wish he would!
- Suzanne Collins – The Hunger Games is one of my favorite books and I think she needs to write more. So much more!
Have you read any of these authors? What did you think of their books? Would you read more from them?
I quite enjoyed One True Loves by Taylor, but am not sure anything else really sounds interesting that she’s written. I was reading about Forever Interrupted last night and it just sounds too sad for me but who knows maybe I’d be surprised! 🙂
I haven’t read Forever Interrupted, and One True Loves was good but it wasn’t one of my favorites, she’s got lots of titles that have been a lot more popular, but yeah, they do tend toward being sadder. Maybe that’s why I love Malibu Rising and Carrie Soto is Back most! I hope you find one that works for you!
A lovely list. I still need to read Taylor Jenkins Reid.
Have a great week!

I hope you enjoy TJR! She’s got so many great books!
Martin was on my list, too!
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
I hope the books will be finished eventually.
It always surprised me to see an old children’s book author at a library conference. I often thought those authors had passed away. I was delighted to see that they had a new book out!
I would love to meet some of my favorite authors at a conference. Maybe one day!
I loved Christopher Pike as a kid too!!! They were so scary! I have Fox Wife on my list to read this year, it sounds so good.
The Fox Wife is really good! I hope you enjoy it when you read it!
Miller was on my list today too! I need more books from her because I’ve loved every single one I’ve read by her. 🥹 Yangsze Choo is an author I’ve been meaning to try for a while now and hopefully, I’ll get around to reading at least one of her books this year. Great list!
Me too, I love Miller’s books! Yangsze Choo’s books are amazing, I hope you love them!
I also feel bad for wanting new books from authors when I haven’t finished their backlist, but I also know that I can read faster than books get published. 😉
Here’s my TTT this week.
Exactly that! 😂
I might have read The Hunger Games, but can’t remember. Have a great week!
They’re worth rereading too, if you’ve read them before!
I have only read Madeleine Miller’s short story, “Galatea,” but I have both Circe and The Song of Achilles in my Kindle to read at some point. Just based on the short story, she’s very good.
She really is! I hope you read them soon and that you enjoy them!
Oooh, a new book by Suzanne Collins would be interesting! I have the first two books in her middle grade series to read and I’m curious how it’ll compared to The Hunger Games.
She could easily write tons and tons of stories/novels set in THG world and I would read them all and watch every adaptation XD
