Top Ten Tuesday: Books for People Who Like X Author


Top Ten Tuesday is a meme run by The Broke and the BookishToday's Top Ten Tuesday is "Top Ten books for people who like X author". Rather than just pick one author, I chose to recommend books based on one author. 

If you like J.K. Rowling and want another youthful hero story, I recommend Knightly Academy by Violet Haberdasher.

If you like Jane Austen and want to read a spin off of her work, I recommend An Assembly Such As This by Pamela Aidan.

If you like Stephanie Perkins and want to read a European adventure romance, I recommend 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson.

If you like Suzanne Collins and want to read another dystopian series, I recommend Divergent by Veronica Roth.

If you like Libba Bray's Great and Terrible Beauty series, I recommend Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly.

If you like Gail Carson Levine and fairy-tale retelling, I recommend anything by Robin McKinley.

If you like Megan McCafferty and are looking for another series about the perils of adolescence, I recommend the Alice series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.

If you like the Nancy Drew series and want another good mystery, I recommend The Ruby in the Smoke by Philip Pullman.

And that is all I have you lovely people today! This Top Ten Tuesday has been difficult! Happy reading!

  3. Great picks. I love Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games series, and totally agree Divergent is pretty awesome and would be excellent reading after that.
