Leave your link and I'll hop by!
I haven't read any of the authors on your list, but am checking them out. Libba Bray is calling my name.
ReplyDeleteJessica @ Literary, etc
Libba is fantastic! Her Gemma Doyle series is brilliant, and Beauty Queens was hysterical.
DeleteI love your list. This week was super hard for me :) I def agree with 4 & 7-10! Especially Hannah Harrington and Gayle Forman, man, they write such emotionally resonating books.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Emotionally resonating is the PERFECT way to describe their books! I want to reread Saving June soon. Beautiful.
DeleteFix that quick indeed! Also... I seriously need to read Kirsten Hubbard and Jessi Kirby.
ReplyDeleteYES. YOU REALLY, REALLY DO.
DeleteNot to yell or anything. <3
Great List!! I thought I would see David Levithan on a ton more lists this week! I also like Rachel Cohn and John Green. I need to read Saving June and Speechless... I've been meaning to for like ever!
ReplyDeleteHere's My TTT
David Levithan and Rachel Cohn are the entire reasons I read YA at all, I remembered picking up Nick & Norah and feeling like I'd found home. And yes, I hope you read Hannah Harrington's books soon! Tell me what you think of them once you do!

ReplyDeleteI feel a really stern look from you in my direction, I still haven't read anything by John Green. I've had TFioS on my TBR pile for ages, together with a lot of other books! I hope to read it soon! *please don't hate me* :)
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
A stern look indeed! I hope you get around to it soon, he's really worth all the hype around him. And let me know what you think when you do read him!
Delete(Which better be soon. The stern look is still here.)
We definitely share some auto-buy authors such as Gayle Forman, Hannah Harrington, Jessi Kirby, and Kirsten Hubbard. Great list!
ReplyDeleteSuch brilliant authors! Have you read Golden yet? SO GOOD!
DeleteJohn Green and Gayle Forman are on my list too. I've read Attachments by Rainbow Rowell and loved it, so I can't wait to read Eleanor and Park. Great list!
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Eleanor & Park, oh my goodness. As soon as I'd read that, I ran out and got Attachments. She has such fantastic characters.
DeleteHow did I forget to add John Green and Gayle Forman! I feel like I failed :). Great list!
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way when i realized I forgot Sarah Dessen! It's ok, these three authors just go without saying, right? ;)
DeleteI... haven't read any of these authors. Oh my. I have my work cut out for me. Great list!

=O You do have your work cut out for you! I'm excited to see who you did choose though, because it seems I'll probably have a lot of work to do, too!
DeleteThat whole second row is perfection, in my opinion. Love all the authors on that bit and would totally buy their books too!
