If They Write It, I'll Read It

Sarah has a way of blending magic and coziness that always leaves me coming back for more. It's a bonus that most of her stories are set in fictional small mountain towns in North Carolina. I'm slowly but surely working my way through all of her work... 

Does Roald Dahl think that all adults are awful? Maybe. Did his books completely dominate childhood? Definitely. So many of my childhood memories are surrounded by one of Dahl's stories, and as an adult, they still carry the nostalgic feel I love.

I've been reading Ted Dekker's novels since middle school. He's written so many psychological thrillers and fantasy novels that I haven't been able to keep up over the years, but I always know if I open the pages of his new books, I'll find myself dr... 

Richard Paul Evans writes the coziest holiday reads that are both heartwarming and magical. I'm almost certain that he ranks as my top-read author of all time, and there are plenty of good reasons. With 60+ titles, even having read 14, I've only scra...

Author of the Cormoran Strike books, a 10-part mystery series following private detective Cormoran Strike and his associate Robin Ellacott. Only eight of the ten books have been published so far, but I can't wait to see how the remainder of the story...  

John Green is excellent at writing about the tough topics in a way that breaks through to an audience of any age. Though his writing is primarly YA, his stories can be enjoyed by an adult audience too. 

Jenny is a queen of YA fiction series, with two our of three getting major screen adaptations. My heart will always be with Lara Jean & Peter, but I'm also looking forward to finally reading her Burn for Burn series. 

Kristin will rip your heart out, but you'll thank her for doing it. Her stories are deep and she's not afraid to explore her characters lives and make you feel every ounce of their emotional journey in the process. Her writing feels real and honest, ... 

This Duo is unique because Christina and Lauren are actually best friends who write together. I am repeatedly amazed by how well these two can put together believable characters and stories that not only feel cohesive, but outright entertaining. 

C.S. Lewis is one of those writers who traverses a variety of genres with ease. Middle grade fiction - check, science fiction - check, philosophy - check. He was a deep thinker, but above all, he wanted his writing to mean something. I may not love e... 

I first heard Dave speak at a work event in 2018 and truly enjoyed the way that he explained personality and communication styles. I purchased his first book that day as well as an advance copy of The Power of Understanding Yourself. His writing styl...

Emma does such an amazing job writing stories that capture life and love in a sweet way. Wether it's found family, friends to lovers, or a relationship or convenience, her cozy writing style is perfect for reading any time of the year. 

Lucy Maud Montgomery is an author who grew with me. One of my favorite things as an adult was learning that Anne's story didn't just end with Anne of Avonlea. To read an entire series surrounding Anne's life was such a treat, and then to find even mo... 

Sarah writes incredible banter, but also characters that make you want to know more about their fictional lives. Her books are the type of cozy adult adventure/romance books you never want to end. 

I love Rainbow Rowell's broad range of storytelling. For a fiction writer, I am impressed by how little her stories have in common, and it keeps making me want to come back to read the next one. 

The Harry Potter series has stood the test of time for a reason. These books were written in so much detail that re-reading them again and again is a worthwhile endeavor. The foreshadowing, clever word usage, and dynamic characters make these books s... 

Jenna is that one Author who will never write enough books to keep up with my love for her writing. Her characters live rent-free in my head, and I wouldn't want it any other way. So far she's only published YA fiction, but I can't wait to see where ... 

Kasie is a YA author with the sweetest summer romance books. They are perfect for YA readers, or to remind us all of a time when summer love was true. 

These are the authors whose writing style, on first exposure, has prompted me to seek out their other works.
