Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted at That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week you compile a list of ten books which coincide with that week’s theme. You can find everything you need to know about joining in here!
This week’s theme is ‘Auto-Buy Authors’! I don’t quite have ten because my bank account wouldn’t thank me for that, but there are definitely some authors out there whose work I can’t resist picking up whenever they release something new.
Silvia Moreno-Garcia
I’m never not going to use an opportunity to gush about Silvia Moreno-Garcia, which you should all know by now. I’ve been following her work since her debut, Signal to Noise, became one of my favourite novels back in 2015, and as soon as she announces a new book, I hit that pre-order button!
Becky Albertalli
I don’t read much YA contemporary, but I love Albertalli’s work and have loved it since I read Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. I think The Upside of Unrequited is still my favourite from her, but every time she releases a new novel I know I’m going to read it when a contemporary craving hits.
Becky Chambers
Chambers’ science fiction is my favourite. I’m not much of a hard sci-fi reader, I’m never drawn to military sci-fi, for example, and I’m much more likely to pick up fantasy than science fiction anyway. Chambers’ work, though, I love because of the way she writes about people. She explores culture, sexuality, family units, relationships and so much more, and does it all through the lens of sci-fi.
Madeline Miller
I’ve rated both of Miller’s novels, The Song of Achilles and Circe, five stars. Her writing style is so sumptuous and delicious and I love the way she writes about Ancient Greece. I hope I won’t have to wait another seven years for her next novel!
N.K. Jemisin
I still need to read Jemisin’s earlier series, the Dreamblood duology and the Inheritance trilogy, but after I read and loved The Broken Earth trilogy, I went out and bought both series and also picked up a copy of her new short story collection as soon as it was released.
Hannah Kent
I still haven’t read Kent’s second novel, The Good People, but I loved her debut, Burial Rites, so much that I’m happy to pick up anything she writes – especially if she has more historical fiction on the way!
Leigh Bardugo
You’ve all heard me go on and on about how I fell in love with Six of Crows duology last year and it’s all old news to those of you who read and loved it when it was released in 2015. I’ve since read her other Grishaverse novels and have my copy of Ninth House pre-ordered, so I think it’s safe to say she’s become an auto-buy author.
Sarah Waters
I own all six of Waters’ published novels and am eagerly awaiting her seventh, whenever it might come! Until then I’m still waiting for the BBC to adapt The Paying Guests into a miniseries…

Bardugo and Miller for sure (can’t wait for Ninth House), but also yes to Becky Albertalli!

I love Becky Chambers! 😍
I have a feeling that once I have a chance to read some Jemisin, she will hop onto my favorite authors list, too. 👍✨
Leigh Bardugo is a favorite of mine also. 💜

Wow, great list! I really can’t argue with any of these. I’d didn’t include Sarah Waters, Hannah Kent, or MAdeline Miller, but I definitely could have!

There are a few authors in your Top Ten that I haven’t read any books by.
I read Gods of Jade and Shadow a few weeks ago and LOVED it.

I share your love for Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Becky Chambers, and now you’ve made me realise I need to crack on and read Hannah Kent / Burial Rites, which has been on my shelf forever. Sarah Waters didn’t quite make my list but is definitely a favourite!
