Hi, hey, hello, and welcome to my contribution to today’s Top Ten Tuesday with Jana!
Identifying my favorite books written by my favorite authors proved more of a challenge than I thought it would because I just love the unique voices of so many incredible writers! That being said, I decided to go with favorite books that I currently own, written by my favorite authors.
You might notice that there are only eight books in the featured photo stack. That’s because, while I do own the remaining two books, they are in storage instead of on my bookshelf. We live in a very small home, so the books must take turns 😉
In no particular order, here are my chosen favorites:
- The Stand by Stephen King
- The Good Turn by Dervla McTiernan
- The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden
- Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
- Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
- The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak
- The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
- Itza by Rios de la Luz
- Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
- Long Live the Pumpkin Queen by Shae Ernshaw
All of the above links will lead you to their StoryGraph page, if you’d like to read more about each title.
StoryGraph is my preferred platform and I’m happy to connect with anyone interested 🙂 I’m melis_willis over there.
This prompt was a lot of fun and offered some solid reflection as I looked back on so many amazing titles.
Which authors and titles would you include in your own list? Do we have any favorites in common?
Onward,
Melissa

Station Eleven was such a good read.
I can’t believe I’ve never read Jurassic Park myself… I really ought to! Looks like a good list.
I think about Station Eleven just about every day. It is eerie. Why that book impacted me so much?
Many great authors on your list. I really want to read Outlander. I love the TV show. I’m just not good with books that are over 300 pages.
