Top Ten Tuesday...

 
Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

This week's theme? Authors I Haven't Read, But Want To.

Only instead of doing ten, I decided to go with just my top five. Here they are:


1. Ann Cleeves



2. Thomas Perry



3. Craig Johnson 



4. Robert Dugoni



5. Ragnar Jonasson



Then there are the new-to-me authors that I said I wanted to read last year, that I still haven't read, but hope to someday soon. Authors like: Louise Penny, Martha Wells, Marc Cameron and Christina Lauren. So many new authors to try! It's a nice problem to have.  😎

Happy Reading!

  1. Some really good mystery novelists here and I really must try Ann Cleeves and Craig Johnson. Embarrassed to say I never went past Linda Castillo's first Kate Burkholder mystery and stopped at the 6th book in Lawrence Block's series. Too busy reading Louise Penny but I have to get back to these other great mystery novelists.

    1. If you do get back to Linda Castillo's Kate Burkholder series, her other books in this series are even better than her first, at least imo.

  2. I'm always amazed (and pleasantly surprised) that there is always another good book to read when I finish the one I'm reading.

    1. You've reviewed a lot of Cleeves' books lately on your blog that make me want to read her even more. :)

  10. I think if I just scrolled one or two pages further on my TBR, Ann Cleeves would have made my list as well today. I do still want to read her books!

    Happy TTT!

  12. I would recommend Robert Dugoni's series. It's fast paced and suspenseful

    1. Thanks. These authors have been on my Goodreads want to read list for awhile now. It's time I finally read them. :)

  14. I have not read any of these, but am surprised you got away with only 5!! So many great authors, never enough time.

    1. If I had started listing all the authors out there that I haven't read yet but want to I would NEVER have finished this post! ;D So instead I just went with my top 5.

  15. I've not read any Ann Cleeves either but have seen her books around for years. I did some more tanka-poem reviews in the style of your haiku reviews yesterday.

  16. I hope you love all of these authors when you get to them. I haven't read any of them either.

  17. Nice list! I've read and enjoyed a few of Cleeves' mysteries. I read THE COLD DISH last year (I think) and liked it well enough, although I don't know if I'll move on with the series or not. Same goes for Dugoni. Louise Penny, on the other hand, I recommend wholeheartedly. You should DEFINITELY read the Armand Gamache series. It's one of my all-time favorites!

    Happy TTT!

    1. I meant to start reading Penny's Armand Gamache series last year! I don't know what happened. It got lost somewhere in my long list of TBRs. :)

  18. Nice list! I haven't read any of these, although I remember a friend raving about Anne Cleeves at some point. Hope you enjoy!

    1. A lot of people seem to really like Cleeves' books. Here's hoping I do, too. :)

  19. Louise Penny and Martha Wells are definitely worth trying. I've read a few Ann Cleeves but I'm going to be controversial and say I prefer her books on the TV screen. Vera and Shetland are both wonderful, the casting is amazing.

    1. I've never watched Vera or Shetland, but I have heard good things about both of them. :)

  21. I saw that In the Clearing book. I think I read a review somewhere. It looks good. I want to listen to it. So many authors, so little time.

    1. In the Clearing does look good! And I agree...so many authors, way too little time. Thanks for commenting. :)
