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.

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 ^^"
Darlene Byers "Sapphire Ridge Prospects" - a new author with a very unique and earthy Australian voice.

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.

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.

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

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.
