Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten ALL TIME Favorite Authors

-


Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

 This week's theme: ALL TIME FAVORITE AUTHORS
This is one of the easiest TTTs for me to do because I have just over 10 favorite authors!

1. Is it any surprise that number one is Brandon Sanderson? If it is, clearly you haven't been on my blog very often :P

2. The ever-brilliant and fantastically imaginative Neil Gaiman is also obviously on my list:






3. Also Scott Lynch, creator of my friends the Gentleman Bastards

4. Melina Marchetta, whose every book has made me cry in pain and happiness
5. Markus Zusak, for writing one of my most treasured books (The Book Thief)
6. Patrick Ness, for all those books that gave me a hug when I felt lost or alone
7. Margaret Atwood, for never failing to make me see beauty and hope in the strangest of circumstances
8. Neal Shusterman, whose books have made me laugh, cry, scream, and jump for joy
9. Laini Taylor's writing is utterly gorgeous. I have fallen in love with all her books. Also, look at how well she can pull off hot pink hair!
10. Most recent addition to my favorite author list: Sarah J Maas for making me love Celaena even when I started out hating her.

There are a few favorite authors that got left off the list, but you can find them all here!

*Side note: I hadn't seen pictures of some of these authors so it was fun to see what they looked like!*

    Great list! Neil Gaiman made my list, too. I really need to read something of Patrick Ness's soon, because I've seen him on so many lists this week!

    I'm so glad you have Neal Shusterman on your list, he's on mine too and I haven't seen him on very many. I loved the Unwind Series and all of his other books have gone straight onto my TBR list. Sarah J Maas is also on my list. I love The Book Thief but I felt as I had only read the one book by Markus Zusak that I couldn't include him. Also the Knife of Never Letting Go is on my TBR list.

    Here's my TTT:

    Yes! I've read almost all of Shusterman's books, and I have enjoyed all of them. They are just so inspiring and entertaining and emotional all at once.
    I'm glad you also enjoy Zusak and Maas! I hope you get to TKONLG soon!

Way of Kings Readalong: Wrap-up

So it's finally over. That was an amazing book! Thank you everyone for joining in and making my first readalong so much fun :) I have said over and over again that Brandon Sanderson is a storytelling god. This book makes me believe it even more fiercely - it takes a mastermind to create such intricate worlds and piece together so many character and plot threads. He does such a great job of feeding you just enough answers/revelations to keep you happy, but keeps you hanging by dangling all sorts of questions for you to answer. Not to mention the bombshells he throws in at the end... Having read Mistborn, I really should have been more prepared for disaster and mindblowing moments towards the end of the book. The end was just bombshell after bombshell - some were interesting revelations, and others were shattering. The bombshells of this week: 1) Navani proves that Dalinar's visions are real , and says his unconscious decoding of an ancient language will help pave the

Way of Kings Readalong: Gender roles on Roshar

We've seen a little bit about the differences in what members of different genders are allowed and encouraged to do. I thought it was interesting how things like reading were entrusted only to women, since reading is how you gain knowledge (and power!), and it seems like the men were the ones who wanted all the power in this world. So here's a discussion post about the different gender roles and what some possible implications are. But first, a few words from Brandon Sanderson: I found this video on YouTube where Sanderson talks a bit about gender roles in history and in The Way of Kings. It's only a minute or two in the middle of the video (4:30-6:58), but I thought it was interesting. YouTube is being annoying and I cannot embed the video so here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqeKPBHquOg Gender differences on Roshar A table of some basic differences in genders: Men Women Can read glyphs Can read an

Top Ten Tuesday 54 - Book to Movie/TV adaptations

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by  The Broke and the Bookish . This week's theme: Top Ten Movie/TV show adaptations of books I've read Sometimes movies and TV shows do a great job of portraying the spirit of the books they're based on, and sometimes they really don't. Here are a few adaptations I loved and some that I felt were lacking. Great Adaptations 1. The Hunger Games/Catching Fire/Mockingjay       Stunning visuals, pitch-perfect portrayal of the characters, and just enough new changes to keep the movies fresh. 2. Harry Potter The movies captured the spirit of the books so well, and again, all the actors did an amazing job of portraying the beloved book characters. Some movies did better than others, but I'm generally really happy with these! 3. The Book Thief     I was really nervous about watching this because The Book Thief is one of my favorites. I shouldn't have been worried, because this movie captured t
