Top Ten Popular Authors I've Never Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and the Bookish

I’m kind of surprised at myself and actually a bit embarrassed of never reading anything about some of these authors.  Others, I haven’t read by choice.

1. Huntley Fitzpatrick – I’ve heard amazing things about My Life Next Door, and I even own the book, but I’ve yet to read it.  I hope to do it soon, before her next book gets released.  

2. Kiera Cass – This is another series that I’ve only heard good things about and the covers is to die for.  I also own The Selection, first book in the series.

3. Stephen King – I’ve never read anything by Stephen King, because honestly, I’m afraid.  I saw the move IT years ago and I was so freaked out that I can’t imagine reading any of this books.

4. Amanda Hocking – I purchased Trylle years ago, when the series was an indie publication, but I never read it.

5. Gena Showalter – What can I say? (there’s no defense, I’m sure.)

6. V.C Andrews – This is one of my cousins favorite authors, but every time I see her books I just can’t make myself pick one up. 

7. Sophie Jordan – I know, I know.  I did purchased Uninvited in audio book and I fully intend to ‘read’ this one… I just haven’t yet.

8. Tahereh Mafi – *hangs head in shame* Shatter Me

9. Michelle Hodkin – This is another very popular series that I haven’t started. I do own a copy of  The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and I fully intend to read it.  Some day.

10. Marie Lu - Again, I own the first book of the series, Legend  and I’ve heard is a really good one. 

I kind of see a pattern here… Anyway, what’s in your Top Ten this week?

Stacking the Shelves

Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews in which we feature all the book goodness that we received, borrowed or purchased during the previous week. All links are to Goodreads.

I didn't shared my books with you last week, so this is two week's worth.  As you know I am trying to save for the trip to BEA, but I have to confess on having the best luck lately as I won some amazing books.  Also, May is turning out to be an incredible month for YA books and it's been SO hard to now buy anything (you know I had to break down, right?)

For Review 

The Selection by Kiera Cass - I won this book from Goodreads.  Thank you so much to Harpen Teen for the ARC, I've been dying to get my hands on this one!

Purchased for Kindle

Awakening by Karice Bolton - I'm not sure how I found this book, but it's likely that I saw it in another blog :)  


The Seeds of Wither by Lauren DeStefano - This is a sampler of the book, and includes a short story about Rose as well as other goodies. 


Angelfall by Susan Ee - I've had really good luck with books about angels lately, this one had a great rating in Amazon and I couldn't resist the cover!

Purchased (physical books)

Insurgent by Veronica Roth - Need I say more?

Library

Article 5 by Kristen Simmons - I got this one in audio book format and I already started listening.  A pretty bleak dystopian...
