Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. A lot of blogs I follow also play along, so I’ve decided to join. Hopefully it’ll be a fun easy way to start blogging again.
This week is Top Ten Authors I Wish Would Write Another Book.
1. J.K. Rowling – I’m pretty sure she’s on everyone’s list, and honestly I don’t know if anything else she would write would live up to HP7, but I’m willing to take that risk.
2. Meg Cabot – Ok, Meg Cabot’s pretty busy still writing books, but honestly I’d love more Allie Finkle. I think she’s done with #6 and that makes me sad.
3. Michelle Cooper – Have you all read A Brief History of Montmaray and The FitzOsbornes in Exile yet? Do it!
4. (Avert your eyes Jen!!!) Stephanie Perkins – Isla and the Happily Ever After has been pushed back to 2013 to make a better novel, which I respect, but I sure wish it were easier to pop out more books.
5. Jon Scieszka & Lane Smith – The Stinky Cheese Man, Math Curse, Squids Will Be Squids, etc. Together is where they belong. Collaborate more often!
6. Rick Riordan – He’s practically as prolific as Patterson (when you remove the co-writers), and we’ve established his books are candy. I wouldn’t mind getting cavities for more Percy Jackson.
7. Ally Carter – I am officially declaring Ally Carter the female Rick Riordan. In that her books are also like candy. More Gallagher Girls and Heist Society please!
8. Melanie Watt – I’m pretty sure if there were 100 books about Scaredy Squirrel, I would read them ALL.
Hmm, well that’s only 8, but since it’s my first Top Ten, I deem that ok.
What would you put on your list?

I’m like you; I want Meg Cabot to write more even though she pops out books like a factory! I got slightly addicted to the Princess Diaries books (Okay, to Michael Moschovitz) when I read them earlier in the year. Great list! No worries that it’s only 8; I usually get stuck on that number whenever I try to make lists!
I agree with you on all of them! Well, at least all except for 3, 5 and 8, but only because I haven’t gotten around to reading those authors! So I probably would agree if I weren’t so lame right now.
Hmm.. who would I add to my own top ten list? I’m going to have to give this some great thought.
Ack! I haven’t visited the blog in forever! I didn’t know you guys had started posting again!
I am embarrassed to admit this, but I wish Stephenie Meyer would write more. I am still waiting for her sequel to The Host. I know you don’t really like her Jill, but she is like my Perry the Platypus pj pants, she’s kind of silly, and people make fun of me when I talk about them, but I can’t live without them
Oh, and my friend Erika totally almost got me to read Lola and the Boy Next Door, but then she let it slip that Anna and St. Clair have a cameo in the story. Now I definitely won’t read it.
Ooh, Jen, so close! ha, maybe it’s better for you not to read Lola. I have a feeling you wouldn’t like it either since you hated Anna.
And my goal this year is to post more since it helps me feel a little more like I’m hanging out with all of you!
