I have been thinking about auto-buy authors lately and I have come to realize that I do not have very many! I don’t even have any auto-buy YA authors! I think that is because I am more picky when it comes to YA and I do more research before I buy a book. When it comes to YA the story and subject matter is more important to me than the author! Still, it is very rare that I will read every book that an author has written. In fact I can only think of three authors where this is the case! Auto-buy authors is the monthly recommendations Goodreads group’s topic for July which worked out perfectly since I already had this post saved as a draft!
Mitch Albom
I devour his books! I love each and every one of his novels. They are always inspirational, thought-provoking and insightful. If I had to recommend only one it would be The Five People You Meet In Heaven.
Lisa Genova
Lisa Genova is a fantastic author. I am always interested in the topics that she addresses in her novels. Each of her novels centers around different diseases and disorders- the majority of them being neurological. I always feel like I come out of reading her novels with a lot more knowledge and compassionate.
Khaled Hosseini
When I read a Khaled Hosseini novel I know that I am going to need a box of tissues ready. He is such a vivid writer and I always feel so connected to his characters.
I wanted to mention a few authors that have potential to be auto buy authors for me!
Angie Thomas
The Hate U Give is Angie Thomas’ debut novel- and if her next book is even half as good as this one was then she will instantly be added to my auto-buy list! I was blown away by her debut and I can not wait to see what she comes out with next.
Pierce Brown
I have only read Red Rising but I was blown away by it! I have been told that the series only gets better! If that is the case I am sure I will be suffering along with many others waiting for his new series, Iron Gold, to be released in 2018!
Sylvain Neuvel
Yes I am talking about the Themis Files once again! I can not wait to see how this series plays out! I am truly intrigued to see what else Sylvain Neuvel comes up with! I have no doubt in my mind that he will become an auto-buy author for me.
Do you have an auto-buy authors? Who are they? I would love to know!!
Great post! I still need to read The Kite Runner and Pierce Brown and sleeping giants.. I’m glad they are on your favorite list 😊
They are both so great! You’ll love them!
Hi! I love this post! I don’t have any auto-buy authors at the moment, though if a book comes out by an author I like, I will be highly inclined to buy it. I also love Mitch Albom’s books – the 5 people you meet is the first one I read. I love Still Alice as well. Currently reading THUG and it is amazing so far 🙂
So awesome. I love finding other people who love Mitch Albom! THUG is amazing! So excited you are reading it!
VERY interested in Themis Files! I used to be a Albom fan, never at auto-buy status, but a fan. How can you not appreciate all the efforts the man makes for his community? The last of his I read was The First Phone Call From Heaven, and I found myself disappointed. Can’t go wrong with Pierce Brown so far!
Ahh I know you will love The Themis Files!! The First Phone Call From Heaven wasn’t my favourite either. I am starting Golden Son really soon. Can’t wait!
Pierce Brown is an auto-buy author for me as well. I’ve read the first two books in the Red Rising trilogy but I’ve yet to read the third one yet. I loved both books though and plan on finishing the series eventually haha.
I’m reading Golden Son really soon! I’ve heard its even better than Red Rising!?
I think Pierce Brown is on my auto-buy list. It’s hard to judge with only one series, but I know for sure that it’s an auto-buy series so it’s very likely the author. 🙂
Nice list.
Thank you! I think he will be on mine as well!
