Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week’s topic is “Books by My Favorite Authors that I Still Haven’t Read.” This is actually a little difficult for me; I’ve either read absolutely everything from authors I like, or I’ve stopped being interested in that author, or I’ve read one or two and want to read their entire back catalog. Finding authors I love that I’ve read everything but one or two things? Harder than it sounds.
I came up with a few.
I’ve read Circe by Madeline Miller but not yet Song of Achilles, so I think that probably counts. I adore Neil Gaiman, but have yet to read his newest, Norse Mythology. And I’ve read several of Brandon Sanderson’s books (though I never read The Wheel of Time – Ain’t nobody got time for that!) but I haven’t read the Stormlight Archive yet.
In that same vein, I’ve read the Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom duology, and her Wonder Woman: Warbringer book, but I haven’t read the rest of Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse. I’ve been shying away from the epic fantasy giant trilogies/series lately. They’re amazing, don’t get me wrong, but they take so long to digest!
I read Kerry Greenwood’s Delphic Women novels, and then realized sometime later that she’d written Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, after I’d watched the AMAZING show based on them. I’d kind of like to go back and read those sometime.
I love Seanan McGuire writing as Mira Grant, and after falling in love with her Twitter, I REALLY need to read more of her back catalog, because she is an absolutely fabulous person. The same is true of Bill Bryson – I adored A Short History of Nearly Everything, and should really read more of his books.
Mercedes Lackey’s The Five Hundred Kingdoms series has been on my To-Read list for a long time, but somehow I still haven’t read it, despite having read almost everything else she’s written.
That’s only eight authors, but considerably more books, so I’m going to stop there! (Like I need MORE BOOKS on my To-Read list…)
To be fair, Sanderson’s books are HUGE. I’ve read—and enjoyed—most of the Mistborn series, but I still have several books to go. At this point, I may never catch up!
I hope you get to all these and that you love them. Happy TTT!

Ooooh Mercedes Lackey. I need to get back into her books. Hers were some of the first YA/adult fantasy books I ever read. Great list. Here’s my TTT.
I haven’t read any of Kerry’s books, but do love Miss Fisher and her grand adventures. 🙂 Hope you enjoy all of these!!
I really need to read more of Seanan McGuire books as well! And I love the Grisha series!
I haven’t read all of the Grisha series, I read the first book but just haven’t got around to finishing it yet.

Norse Mythology is great especially on audiobook. Happy reading!
