The Book Vixen is pleased to welcome Natalie from Mindful Musings to the blog today.
Most of us who are serious bookaholics have what I call an “automatic buying list” (or auto-buy, for short). For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, an auto-buy list is composed of a group of authors whose work you WILL BUY ASAP, no questions asked. They publish, you purchase. Get the idea?
Here’s a list (in no particular order) of the authors on my auto-buy list, along with each of their books that put them on the list.
______________________________
Considering that I read close to 100 books each year, my auto-buy list is pretty short. An author has to be pretty darn good to make it on there! Usually, I’ve given at least one of their books a 5 heart rating.
Do you have an auto-buy list? If so, who’s on it?

I have almost the same list of auto-buy authors! I would add Charliane Harris - I am a Sookie Stackhouse fan!
ReplyDeleteAlexandra Bracken and Maggie Stiefvater are auto-buys for me as well. Also, Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, Richelle Mead, Jeaniene Frost and Karen Marie Moning.
ReplyDeleteJ.R. Ward, Larissa Ione, Jeaniene Frost, Lara Adrian and Sherrilyn Kenyon are always a must buy no matter how big my TBR pile is.

I haven't read that much yet, but J.K. Rowling, Cecelia Ahern and Sophie Kinsella. Kinda slow at buying all (moneyyy!) but I'll get all of them eventually.
ReplyDeleteA few of my auto-buys have already been mentioned! :)
ReplyDeleteIn YA, I have Maggie Stiefvater, Cassandra Clare and Melissa Marr.
In adult, it's Patricia Briggs, Michele Bardsley, Katie MacAlister, and Shelly Laurenston.
I have an auto-buy list and never knew!!! My list includes buying both the books and audiobook versions Mine are Dean Koontz, Richelle Mead, Stephenie Meyer, Cassandra Clare, Suzanne Collins, PC Cast, Harlan Coben (for my hubby)
ReplyDeleteFun topic, I'm writing down everyone's lists! I auto-buy Kristan Higgins, Richelle Mead, Charlaine Harris, Sherrilyn Kenyon...
ReplyDeleteSo I completely forgot I was guest blogging over here today! Oh well. Guess that's what my Google Reader is for, right? Lol. Anyways, thanks for having me, and it's been great reading everyone's lists!
ReplyDeleteJR Ward is my crack, so anything by her and JD Robb. Also Meredith Duran who writes wonderful historical romances.
ReplyDeleteGreat topic. I do have auto buys but they generally revolve around series and not just an author. For example... an auto buy for me is Gena Showalter's Lords of the Underworld series, but I haven't read any of her other stories. Some books are auto reads - meaning I'll get them from the library. Other authors I just adore - like Nalini Singh, Meljean Brook and Larissa Ione and buy their stuff!
ReplyDeleteGreat list of authors! Some of mine include Rachel Caine, Julie Kagawa, Kim Harrison, just to name a few! ;)
ReplyDeleteAgree with you 100%. I also have JR Ward, Jeaniene Frost, Richelle Mead, Kim Harrison, Charlaine Harris, and my 2 fave Christian fiction authors---Liz Curtis Higgs and Francine Rivers.
