Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!
Top Ten Books By My Favorite Authors I Still Haven't Read
Honestly, there are some books by my favorite authors that I haven't read on purpose, whether because what I've heard means they aren't as good, or because I don't really want to reach the end just yet. But here, I've tried to include books I actually intend to read someday.
1. Lady Susan by Jane Austen
I actually own this novella of her juvenilia, but I'm waiting to read it because what if it's not as good and/or Austen is over? That said, I still think I will read it someday.
2. The Word for World is Forest by Ursula K. Le Guin
Le Guin is so prolific that, even though I've read most of her more famous work (The Left Hand of Darkness, The Dispossessed, Wizard of Earthsea), there's still much more to read. The Word for World is Forest is first on my list since I'm intrigued by the eponymous concept and the plot sounds like a more in-depth version of Avatar.
3. Where the Past Begins by Amy Tan
Recently purchased a signed copy in the bookstore! Even though I've only read her fiction, I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it.
4. Sex Wars by Marge Piercy
I loved Woman on the Edge of Time and Small Changes, and this is first on the list of many more Marge Piercy novels to read.
5. The Story Girl by L.M. Montgomery
6. Pat of Silver Bush by L.M. Montgomery
I'm glad L.M. Montgomery was so prolific, although I am slowly reaching the end :-( Once I'm finished with these, I will have finished all of her series, and have a couple more standalone novels and short story collections to go.
7. Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson
I LOVED the Girl of Fire and Thorns series, so even though I wouldn't usually pick up a California Gold Rush meets fantasy mash-up, I'll do it for Rae Carson.
8. Jane, Unlimited by Kristin Cashore
Again, not a book I'd necessarily pick up based on a description of several genres rolled into one...but I literally love every other book Kristin Cashore has ever published, so worth a shot.
9. The Killing Moon by N.K. Jemisin
I'm totally into this and everything Jemisin writes and have been meaning to read it forever, so, no excuse.
10. Redemption in Indigo by Karen Lord
Same as Jemisin, I love Lord's other books, especially The Best of All Possible Worlds, and been meaning to read this forever.
