Hello everybody! I decided to do my own spin on a post I saw the blogging queen Paper Fury do on her blog about books that she hasn’t read from authors she claims as her favorite. I really loved the idea because I shamefully read about 1-2 books that an author has written and then automatically say “they’re my favorite author!” even if they have about a dozen other books out.
It’s a serious problem.
And now I’m here to show how shamefully often I do this.
I’m actually kind of nervous I don’t know why. I feel like I’m sharing my deepest and darkest secrets. I guess I kind of am.
But y’all are my loyal readers and you won’t abandon me because of something stupid like this.
Right?
These authors aren’t in any particular order because I can’t choose a favorite!

Kindred Spirits is just a short story, I believe so I wasn’t all that interested in it and then her other books are adult books that I’ve heard some mixed things about. I bet I’ll try them all some day, though, because I love her writing and characters and it’s seriously taking her forever to write her next book I am slowly dying.

Ha…ha… there are just a lot of books, okay? These aren’t even all of them! There are the 39 Clues books that he helped write (which I have no interest in reading), and then there are all of the short story collections and crossovers. And then there’s also the graphic novels for the rest of the Percy Jackson books and The Kane Chronicles… and then he has some adult books. It’ll take me a lifetime if I were to read all of his books.

I’m interested in reading her Shiver trilogy and The Scorpio Races, but not really any of her other books (except for her upcoming book All The Crooked Saints). She has a few other books too, but I’m not interested in them.

I’ve only read his most popular book – Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe – but it’s one of my all-time favorite books! He has another book that he released this year and then a ton of others that aren’t very popular. Some are poetry books and some are novels (not all of them are listed here cause I’m too lazy to search for them). I do want to read all of his books one day, though because I love his writing style!

I actually thought he would’ve had more books haha, but (happily) he doesn’t! Now I don’t feel as bad as I did before about only having read one of them. He does have a lot of projects in the works according to Goodreads, though! And on Twitter he keeps on saying how he’s working on both book 4 and 5 on and off. And he has a book coming out in September – They Both Die At the End – which I’m so excited for!

I think we can all agree that Cassie Clare pumps out too many books to catch up with haha. She not only has The Infernal Devices trilogy and The Mortal Instruments series but she also has graphic novels and mangas of the series! I don’t think I’ll ever read those cause I honestly don’t see the point in doing that. I also won’t read her Middle Grade series that she co-wrote with Holly Black. Besides that, I do plan on reading all the rest of the books she comes out with in the Shadowhunter world because she has me in her clutches.

I absolutely love Susan Dennard’s writing style and she also seems like such a nice person so I want to read all of her books. Besides The Witchland series she’s in the middle of writing right now, she also has the Something Strange and Deadly series. I want to read that series, plus they just got new covers (not the ones pictured above)!
3. Marie Lu

Haha see this is what I’m talking about! I’ve only read one of Marie Lu’s books but I claim her as one of my favorites. She’s got lots of amazing projects and upcoming books so I really need to finish at least one of her trilogies!

I love The Lunar Chronicles and I would be done by now if Winter was out in paperback, but it’s not out yet! I also need the two novellas in the series.

I want to read Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda SO BAD! It’s becoming a movie and I love the people they cast and I’ve heard this is the better of the two books Albertalli has written so I just need to read it!
Hope y’all enjoyed this post! There are even more authors I could’ve listed here but this post would become way too long haha. Let me know the authors you call your favorites but have shamefully only read a few books of theirs.
By the way, this post took me so long to write.
Appreciate it.
Seriously, my hand hurts.
