Authors?

Would it be shitty to say myself? Lol 

I don't think it's shitty to say yourself. I think that is actually wonderful. I wish I had that much confidence in my own writing. What genre do you write?

Holly Black. John Green. Neil Gaiman. Hank Green. JK Rowling (still enjoy her work, even if I don't like her as much as a person). Patricia Briggs.

I would say I was my favorite author but I never go back to read my own books. I would say Stephen King and an upcoming author named JD Toombs. I got an early look at his first novel.

A few of mine are George Orwell, Stephen King, and Neil Gaiman for sure. 

Many of my favorite writers come from the world of comics. I've really liked Kieran Gillan, Adrian Tomine, and Craig Thompson. I would also like to read more from Jeff Lemiere.

I read a lot of contemporary sweet romance, and I love supporting Indie Authors - and as I read on subscription with Kindle Unlimited I pretty much only find authors there ^^" 

Oof, I have wayyyy too many, but I'll give you a few that come to mind immediately. Richelle Mead, P.C. Cast, Jodi Picoult, C. C. Hunter, Tracy Wolff, Lauren Kate, and if I think of anymore, I'll add to this comment. 

I love C.S. Lewis' ability to create worlds (Especially Narnia). 

I know I'm suuuuper late -- but I could recommend anything by V.C Andrews. The Flowers In the Attic series is a good one to start with. All of her novels are pretty fucked up but they're so easy to get hooked to. I'm currently on a Stephen King kick right now cx 

Robin Parrish is a favorite of mine, as is early Ted Dekker. Same goes for the first 4 or 5 novels by Michael Chabon. Other favorites include Keigo Higashino, Marie Lu, Langston Hughes, Tolkien, Rowling (the writer, not the person), Adalyn Grace, Jared Reck, Angie Thomas,  S. K. Perry, Jasper Fforde, and I've recently come to know about authors like Nina George, Liane Moriarty, Jodi Picoult, and Phaedra Patrick, all of whom I've enjoyed reading.

Richelle Mead

JRR Tolkien, George RR Martin, Anne Rice, Per Anders Fogelström, Astrid Lindgren, Maria Gripe

Taylor Jenkins Reid. I first read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and was so captivated by the way she wrote the story. I am currently making my way through her older books and she is incredible.

Fellow author here! It's nice to meet you :-) Feel free to check out my stuff https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57572965-strawberry-milk 

Zoje Stage, Melissa Broder, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Junji Ito, and Brian K. Vaughan (: 

Gene Wolfe, Nick Land, Harlan Ellison, Doris Lessing, Kenji Siratori, Michael Turner, Miguel Burr, Arthur Koestler, Thomas Pynchon, Nandor Nevai,

Shirley Jackson for sure. The Lottery and The Haunting of Hill House have stuck with me long after finishing them.

Carlos Ruiz Zafón

AJ Jacobs first comes to mind. His book The Know-It-All was one of the first books I read fresh out of college and it re-kindled my former love of reading.

Joe McKinney and Mira Grant write some great zombie books.

I’d put myself somewhere in my top ten, but not sure where. I definitely enjoy reading my own writing and hope to some day make enough money from it to no longer need a proper day job.

Ellen Hopkins has been my most recent obsession!!

me ........

bret easton ellis, irvine welsh and chuck palahniuk for sure

dostoevsky is always great 

Allan Moore, Garth Ennis, Jonathan Hickman and Brian K Vaughan (all comic writers XD)

i've been on the Camus train for a while but more plainly i can never get enough Tolkien...

Novels: Thomas Hardy

Short Stories: Kate Mansfield, Harlan Ellison, James Joyce

Nonfiction: Amanda Montell

Fyodor Dostoevsky! Just be warned: you may suffer an existential crisis after reading his books <3

Kurt Vonnegut, I have 3 or 4 of his books but I used to have more I learned my lesson abt loaning books to ppl who do t buy their own I guess. 

Though I tend to have favorite books over favorite authors, really

Vaya... es difícil decirlo porque tengo muchos autores que me gustan pero te diré solo 3 

• Jay Kristoff

• Jennifer L. Armentrout 

• Alex Mirez 

A. Pizarnik es una autora muy buena pero creo q sus obras solo estan en español xd

i love mariana enriquez, she is my fav author rn 

Currently so in love with a few books by Krystal Sutherland. I also enjoyed a few books by Lili Wilkinson. Another author is Derek Landy, and I wish I had gave away what I had of his Skulduggery Pleasant series. Another favourite is Casey McQuiston! I do not read a lot of books from specific authors really, but these are a few I enjoy!

holly black and holly jackson

Brett Easton Ellis and Chuck Palahniuk played a big influence in getting me to start writing. 

Love Ellis' inante ability to list things without sounding boring. 

Love Palahniuk's sense of humour. 

Love how both of them develop insane characters and plots fluidly.

I haven't read all his books (new ones), but I love Fredrik Backman's writing style. There's just something about how he narrates the stories. I'm so attached to the characters and their lives. They feel truly alive to me, and I get to escape from real life. I wasn't a fan of books written in third-person POV, but this changed after I read my first ever FB book. 

Anything written by Nina LaCour, I haven't read all her books, but I love her writing style so much! She does write about some sensitive topics so content warning for that. My favorite by her is We Are Okay.

sylvia plath

Margret Weiss and Tracey Hickman mostly their collaborative works. Also myself as well lmao

Inio Asano or Tatsuki Fujimoto
