Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
This week’s topic is suggested by Rissa @ Prentious Reader and we talk about mainstream popular authors we still haven’t read. When thinking about it, there are a lot of them for me.
- Nora Roberts – This author publishes a lot of books, in both the fantasy and romance genre. They just don’t speak to me at all, so I probably will never pick up one of these books.
- Robert Galbrait – This is actually J.K. Rowling. Do I need to say more?
- Robyn Carr – This is the author of the Virgin River books and probably some more series. They are all very long and seem really shallow to me. I’ve tried the first 1.5 episodes of the Netflix series and was bored out of my mind so I have the feeling that the same will apply to the books.
- Robin Hobb – This is one of the most popular fantasy authors out there, but the books are just not speaking to me. There’s a lot and they sound like quite slow reads. My attention span is shit nowadays, so not for me.
- Diana Gabaldon – Actually the same.
- Lisa Jewell – I am not the thriller type anymore, so it barely happens I pick one up nowadays.
- Julie Murphy – I still own Dumplin’ I believe, but it’s just not speaking to me anymore.
- Jenny Han – This author is a little too YA for me. I’ve seen the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before movie and to be honest I was cringing the whole time.
- Lynn Painter – This author is really popular except for my country. Also, I’m not sure whether their books are for me.
- Holly Bourne – Yet another popular author, but not in my country. Correct me if I’m wrong, but their books are more of a comfort read with little to no depth and I doubt I can handle that.
Have you read any of these authors?
