Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke and the Bookish where we answer a list topic posed by the hosts.
This week is Top Ten All Time Favorite Authors. Oh boy, this is a hard one. All of the following are instabuy authors but even that might not be enough to cut it down. I may have to extend this to 15 or 20.
1. JK Rowling- Do I really need to explain this?
2. George R.R, Martin- The detail in his books is so staggering!
3. Leigh Bardugo- I fell in love with her world before I even realized it. The writing is just so beautiful.
4. Sarah J. Maas- Must. Have. More.
5. Natalie D. Richards- Not only are her books really good but Natalie is just such an awesome person!
6. JRR Tolkien- Pretty sure I own everything ever released under his name.
7. Christopher Paolini- One word: Eragon. I’ve been obsessed with those books since middle school.
8. Anne Rice- The reason I love a GOOD vampire story, Anne Rice is finally going back to the stories I love. And yes, I do know she’s a bit of a lunatic. I just can’t help but love her stories.
9. Neil Gaiman- Can I just hug this man? Just once?
10. Robin LaFevers- Assassin. Nuns. But really, her writing sort of entrances you and you forget that the book is over 300 pages.
11. Jane Austen- What can I say, Mr. Darcy was my first book boyfriend. Colonel Brandon was a close second.
12. Rick Riordan- MYTHOLOGY! *drool*
13. Brandon Sanderson- How does this guy have the time to write so many books? Seriously.
14. Agatha Christie- I almost own the full collection. Sooooooon.
15. Dan Brown- I love the Langdon books with a passion.
Ok, so 15. That’s not too crazy? Who are yours? Share/link in the comments.
Keep Reading!
I still haven't read Game of Thrones but I plan to! I also loved Grave Mercy and need to read the rest of that series!
Great list! I have J.K. Rowling and Brandon Sanderson. I also love GRRM, Leigh Bardugo, and Sarah J. Maas. They'll probably become all-time faves when I read more of their stuff.

Good list! I just couldn't get past #1 Neil Gaiman for mine so I stopped 🙂
You've got some great choices! I should have gone ahead and done more than 10.
Check out my Top 10
I'm even more intrigued by Anne Rice now that I know she's a lunatic! LOL! Dan Brown made my list because of the Langdon novels too! Happy reading! 🙂
JK Rowling, Sarah J Maas and Rick Riordan were all on mine too. I haven't read any of the other authors books though.
Here is my TTT:

Yes! Paolini and Brown are ones I didn't see on a lot of lists but I love them both. Great picks for all though!
I don't follow the TTT feature, but I love to visit those who do. I liked this topic especially. JKR and Bardugo would certainly be on my list, too! I read The Hobbit the summer before my senior year in high school and the LotR trilogy during that year. I did read The Hobbit again sometime during college and was planning a reread of LotR after receiving a box set of paperbacks for my 30th birthday, but after several tries to get into the story, quit trying. Strange, huh? I love the movies and have watched them over and over, but I am always a little embarrased to say I have only read the trilogy once. Maybe I should try again now. 🙂
