Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish (click the link to visit them) who pick a different topic each week.
This week the topic is: Top Ten Debut Authors Who Have Me Looking Forward To Their Sophomore Novel (because when you love a debut you just are ITCHING to get your hands on the author’s second book).
Hmm I didn’t even know what a ‘Sophomore Novel’ was until this topic came up, but now I know! However, I’m still going to change my list up slightly and look at authors that I’ve only read one book by but desperately want to read more of.
That’s pretty much the same, right?
In no particular order…
1. Rachel Hawkins: I loved Rebel Belle and would like to carry on the series…but just haven’t. Sigh.
2. Benjamin Alire Saenz: LOVED, LOVED LOVED Aristotle & Dante and now I need to read EVERYTHING this guy writes.
3. Kim Newman: I’ve been meaning to read Anno Dracula since it came out but still haven’t gotten round to it. After recently reading and loving his An English Ghost Story, I want to read more by him more than ever.
4. Erin Bowman: Loved her recent YA Western, Vengeance Road and would love to see more from her.
5. Joe Hill: Horns was great and I’ve heard great things about his other books too. I really want to read Heart-Shaped Box and Nos482.
6. Devon Hartford: I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed the steamy Fearless, and I bought the second book in the series straight away but haven’t got to it yet.
7. Rosamund Lupton: I absolutely adored The Quality of Silence earlier this year. It was the first one I’d read of hers but I now need to go read everything she’s done!
8. James Dawson: I’ve only read Cruel Summer so far and it was great! More please.
9. Victoria Aveyard: Red Queen was awesome, I loved it, despite being bored of all the YA Dystopia out there at the moment. I can’t wait for book 2!
10. M.R Carey: The Girl with all the Gifts was a great horror read, I wouldn’t hesitate to read more.
Always happy to see the wonderful James Dawson on your lists! đŸ™‚
I haven’t read any but I heard a lot of good raves about the Girl with All the Gifts. đŸ™‚
Deffo worth a read đŸ™‚
Thank you for the recommendation! đŸ™‚
I haven’t read any of these but they all sound good. Especially the Joe Hill book. I took liberties with the topic this week. Happy reading https://ireadboooks.wordpress.com/2015/11/03/top-ten-non-fiction-books-i-want-to-read/
I don’t blame you, I found it a difficult topic to stick to this week too!
This was a good twist on the idea. I found it really hard to find authors I’ve only read their very first book ever (and that I wanted to read more from).
I’d definitely be on board for another M.R Carey’s book. I really need to read Vengeance Road too. Nice list!
I would say hold off on reading the sequel to Rebel Belle til book 3 comes out! I adored Rebel Belle, but Miss Mayhem was kind of just so-so. And the ending was one that would leave you wanting the next book immediately!

We had the same idea this week! đŸ™‚ Aristotle and Dante – great pick. That was a terrific read. About half of these I have on my TBR, I need to get reading!
There’s just never enough time is there! đŸ™‚
Still need to read Red Queen, I’ve had it for ages but just haven’t got around to it!
