Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Authors I've Read The Most Books From

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke And The Bookish.

This week's TTT is Top Ten Authors I've Read The Most Books From

1. Kristen Ashley (48)

Holy. Crap. I've read a lot of Kristen Ashley books, huh? If you didn't know, I'm mildly obsessed with her writing. Bring on the next 48!

2. Samantha Young (25)

Samantha Young writes a wide range of books, and I've read em all—from her YA to her PNR I've loved every one.

3. Jill Shalvis (21)

Majority of the 21 Jill Shelves books I've read have come from her Lucky Harbor series which is freaking awesome. Seriously, if you like contemporary romance, this author is for you.

4. Kresley Cole (20)

Kresley's Immortals After Dark series is probably my favorite PNR series of all-time. The characters and world she created is so complex and swoon-worthy that I know I'll definitely be re-reading the entire series in the near future.

5. Abbi Glines (18)

While I haven't read much of her stuff lately, Abbi Glines was one of the authors that got me back into reading. I fell in love with her YA series and then moved on to her NA books.

6. Laurann Dohner (16)

New Species for the win! The books are short enough that you can read them in one day, and the heroes are so possessive of their women that I get jealous that they don't actually exist. Also, her next book in the series, Numbers, which is two books in one, is going to be out soon!

7. Nicole Edwards (15)

If there's one author that writes great m/m/f m/f/m books, it's Nicole Edwards. Her Alluring Indulgence and Club Destiny series are most definitely my favorite threesome books!

8. Bella Jewel (14)

If you're looking for a quick MC book, Bella Jewel is the author for you. She also writes spin-off series about characters that you're just dying to read about.

9. Julie Garwood (14)

3 words. Julie. Garwood. Historicals. She's the queen. I seriously hope that she returns to Historical Romance sometime in the near future!

10. Monica McCarty (12)

Monica's Highland Guard series is awesome. Scottish warrior meets NAVY seal. 'nuf said. She has a few other Historical Romance series out, too!

10. Charlaine Harris (12)

Oh Sookie Stackhouse. You were so good to me for so long, but then we had to go and see other people. I'm kind of surprised we lasted 12 books.

10. R.K. Lilley (12)

If you're looking for a great BDSM series, look no further. R.K.'s Up in the Air series introduced me to that and I haven't looked back. She has a bunch of books in the works so keep an eye out!

Honorable Mentions: (10) Kit Rocha, Jennifer L. Armentrout, R.L. Mathewson, Suzanne Wright, Dannika Dark, Kristen Proby, Penny Reid.

Those are my Top Ten Authors I've Read The Most Books From, who are yours?

Top Ten 2014 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn't Get To

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke And The Bookish.

1. The Pact by Karina Halle

Okay, this book was only released a few weeks ago, but it's done really well, gotten on all kinds of best seller lists already (yay KH, congrats!!) It's at the top of my TBR!

2. Come to Me Quietly by A.L. Jackson

This book has been on my TBR since it came out (a year ago) but it's one of those I just haven't had the chance to get to, which sucks because I've heard awesome things about it. This book will be read before 2015 is over!

3. Darkness and Smiley by Laurann Dohner

 

These two books were on another list of mine, but I still haven't read them! Shame on me. I've been waiting for Darkness' book for what feels like forever, and SMILEY everybody's favorite primate species! Ugh, I can't believe I still haven't read either of these. I will get to it. THIS MONTH.

4. Sugar Rush by Belle Aurora

What's wrong with me? I love this series, and after devouring the first three books in this series I was so freaking happy when this released, and I did read the first three chapters I think. And I loved it but I set it down and haven't picked it back up yet. I will, I need to finish Max and Helena's story!

5. The Deep End of the Sea by Heather Lyons

This is another book that I started and loved but set down and haven't gotten back to. I mean, mythology, medusa, what more could you ask for?

6. Tied by Emma Chase

*ducks* I know I don't have any excuse as to why I haven't read this book yet other than I don't want this series to end. I won't read it until I'm ready to let these characters go, which may be never! So there!

7. Indebted by Pepper Winters

I haven't read any of the books yet in this series because I suck at waiting. And Pepper has said there will be 6 (I think) books in all and I just don't think my heart can take the wait in-between books! The first two book are waiting on my e-reader for me, so when the final book is published, I'm going to dive in and binge-read the lot of them!

8. Losing Control and Taking Control by Jen Frederick

 

"Kelly, what's wrong with you? You haven't read these books? We can't be friends." is what I imagine people will be saying to me. I love Jen Frederick. I've read all of her books besides these! Why you ask? I don't have a good answer. Other than I was waiting for the second book to come out before I started (it's a two book series). But now that they're both out, what excuse do I have? None. Okay, I'll go read these now :D

9. Burned by Tara Sivec

Well I love Tara's Chocolate Lovers series and her Chocoholics series and her Playing with Fire series and her Fool Me Once series, OKAY I love everything Tara writes so it's a no brainer that I'll read her Ignite series (the second book Branded was just released!)

10. Wicked by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I'm a total JLA fangirl. I've read all of her stuff and when I found out she was writing a NA PNR? devoured this book yet? It was only released last month! Give a girl a break!

So, these are my top ten 2014 releases I meant to read but didn't get to, what are yours?

**for the record I've purchased all of these books and they're sitting on my TBR shelf with puppy dog eyes waiting to be read**

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Bringing This Year

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke And The Bookish.

1. BEAUTY AWAKENED by GENA SHOWALTER

I loved the first book in this series, and Beauty Awakened has been on my TBR for years. Gena Showalter does PNR like nobody else.

2. THE GAME PLAN by R.L. MATHEWSON 

So, The Game Plan won't be published until December 27, and unless Santa can bribe R.L. Mathewson, I won't be getting this book in time for Christmas. BUT I love the hell out of this series and I'm looking forward to escaping my crazy family to read this book during the holidays.

3. RIVAL by PENELOPE DOUGLAS

I can't believe I haven't read Rival yet. Madoc's story has been a long time coming and I really need to read this before Falling Away is released in January! (and these covers are seriously yum)

4. DARKNESS & SMILEY by LAURANN DOHNER

 

So the New Species series is kind of my dirty little secret and I haven't gotten to Darkness OR Smiley yet. I will definitely binge read these two books when I get some free time!

5. CAGED IN WINTER by BRIGHTON WALSH

I've heard nothing but great things about this book (and author) and the second book in this series will be released next year so I'll have to get to this before Tess Ever After.

6. BECOMING CALDER by MIA SHERIDAN

I need to read this book. I know I've only read one Mia Sheridan book but it turned out to be one of my favorites of the year. This is the first in a duology that was released earlier this year and it sounds amazing. 

7. FILTHY BEAUTIFUL LIES by KENDALL RYAN

I LOVE KENDALL RYAN! This is the first book in the Filthy Beautiful Lies series. If these sizzling covers don't make you want to read this series then we can't be friends. 

8. IT AIN'T ME, BABE by TILLIE COLE

It's no secret that I have serious love for MC books. The second book in this series Heart Recaptured was just released so I need to read this one pronto!

9. WICKED by JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT

Jennifer L. Armentrout, J. Lynn. LE SIGH. I love your books. I've read almost all of them and a new adult PNR? O-FREAKING-KAY! I have it on good authority that santa will be bringing me this book on Christmas morning :)

10. THE LIBRARIAN PRINCIPLE by HENELA HUNTING

I loved Helena's Clipped Wings series and finding out that she was writing a librarian/principle romance? I'm in! If you haven't you should read the blurb it sounds so good!

So, these are my top ten books I wouldn't mind santa bringing me this year, what are yours?
