- Rick Riordan – I definitely prefer the Percy Jackson books but his Cane Chronicles are great when I want something light too
- Stephanie Perkins – Anna and the French Kiss and Lola and the Boy Next Door were both so fun and sweet. I can’t wait for the new one!
- Richelle Mead – I kind of love her! Everything I’ve read I’ve loved. Great heroines and usually some good fighting and swoonable boys. Not shallow but they never feel too heavy either.
- Jenny Han – I really adored the Summer I Turned Pretty Books. Yes there were some hard issues pop up but the way it’s written it didn’t feel rough.
- Rachel Cohn and David Levithan – So I absolutely adored Dash and Lily and Lily’s Book of Dares I haven’t read anything else by these two (they write both together and on their own) but I’ve heard great things so I’m excited to check it out.
- Brodi Ashton – I really liked Everneath she does an awesome mash up of paranormal romance, mythology retelling and contemporary.
- Sarah Dessen – She is like the contemporary queen. While they aren’t my favorite books they are good solid fun for when I want something light and sweet.
- Eoin Colfer – The Artemis Fowl books are great when I want a break from oppressive governments and the end of the world.
- Shannon Hale – There’s just something nice about Hale’s books. I really liked the Goose Girl series and Princess Academy but Austenland was fun too.
- Marie Lu – Marie Lu’s dystopian Legend just isn’t stressful like some of the others. There’s action, romance and great story. It’s perfect when I want a little of it all.
Also if you’re interested I’m giving away a copy of Reboot by Amy Tintera. Linking up to The Broke and The Bookish

Oooh! I just love Shannon Hale’s books! I was about to add Legend on my list too, but I felt it was a bit heavy than the rest of the books on my list. But I love it still. :)
Thanks for sharing!

Dash & Lily is one I reread every year. Such a fun one. Love Perkins, Dessen, and Han too. And you’re right about Mead- all her books are such comfort reads.
Lori says
Oh, I love Sarah Dessen and David & Rachel! Nick & Norah is one of my favorites!
Amanda Caldwell says
There’s a lot on your list I want to read. I’m especially interested in Goose Girl… I’ve never heard of that one!

I love Richelle Mead. And most of the time her books are lovely and fun and sweet… but every now and then they get a bit dark… They’re still great for your list.
Bookish says
Fantastic list, lots on there I want to read! I loved the Goose Girl when I read it, the same with the Artemis Fowl books (also on my list)
My Top 10 Tuesday!

I like that you picked Rick Riordan and Shannon Hale like me. I haven’t seen them on anyone else’s list (yet).
Debra Hawkins says
I included Artemis Fowl, Everneath and Princess Academy… Adding a few more to my list. I am trying to decide if I am going to buy Anna and the French Kiss before the signing.
Milka says
I love Sarah Dessen and Stephanie Perkins. :) I included titles from both Perkins and Han on my list.
Brittany says
I keep forgetting that I want to read Everneath until someone posts about it. I hear a lot of good things.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Courtney N. says
I found Legend to be pretty intense (and the sequel to be even more so), but it’s definitely fun!
Great picks!

I want to read books by all of these authors. I’ve read only one book by Sarah Dessen – Lock and Key and I really enjoyed it. I want to read more books by her, maybe in the summer vacation…
I also want to read The Summer I Turned Pretty because of the beautiful cover.
Great list!! Thanks for sharing (:

I love Shannon Hale. Goose Girl and The Princess Academy are fantastic. Have you read Bookf of a Thousand Days? That’s my favorite. I still haven’t read Austenland but I really need to.
I am kicking myself for forgetting to inlcude Anna and the French Kiss. That’s a perfect fit for today’s topic.
Epiphany Renee says
I really should read more Shannon Hale, I haven’t read any for years. Perhaps Goose Girl? It seems to be a favorite amoung the group.

I really need to try a Sarah Dessen. I haven’t read any of her books.
