Top Ten Tuesday is a weakly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. They love lists as much as I do, so it's only fair to tip my hat.
This week's topic is a great one--who do you wish you could get just one (or ten) more book from? My list is comprised mostly of passed authors I heart with a smattering of debut authors I loved from whom I am waiting to hear about sophomore books! Many of them you will know, if not, check them out. I've added portraits of from the authors' GoodReads pages, along with my fav book by each. In no particular order:
 |
| Lev A.C. Rosen - Debut: All Men of Genius |
 |
| Jane Austen - Favorite: Pride and Prejudice/Emma |
 |
| Oscar Wilde - Favorite: The Importance of Being Earnest |
 |
| Erin Morgenstern - Debut: The Night Circus |
 |
| Roald Dahl - Favorite: Matilda |
 |
| Charles Dickens - Favorite: Great Expectations |
 |
| Anna Sheehan - Debut: A Long, Long Sleep |
 |
| Douglas Adams - Favorite: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy |
 |
| Mark Twain - Favorite: A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court |
 |
| William Shakespeare - Favorite: Twelfth Night/Hamlet |
I've heard there is another Anna Sheehan book in the works, a sequel to A Long, Long Sleep!
ReplyDeleteAlso, have you seen the Dahl/Blake stamps coming out tomorrow? http://www.guardian.co.uk/childrens-books-site/2012/jan/09/roald-dahl-stamps-classic-childrens-author

ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard that about Anna Sheehan...yay! A Long, Long Sleep was one of my absolute favorite books to come out of 2011, and I would love a sequel.
Also I hadn't seen those stamps, but they are awesome! I've never been a stamp collector, but these are tempting just to own.
Awesome list - you reminded me of so many great authors like Wilde and Austen (love, love, love).
ReplyDeleteYes, Mark Twain. And Oscar Wilde. Hope they are busy writing away in Book Heaven.
ReplyDeleteHere is my Top Ten Authors I Wish Would Write Another Book. I hope you will stop by!
Yeah, Roald Dahl. I have Sophie Dahl on my list, but Roald Dahl def. should be on it too. Can't believe I forgot about him. :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed on several of these, especially Charles Dickens. I've read "The Mystery of Edwin Drood", a book he'd only half-completed when he died. I wish he were alive to finish the story!
ReplyDeleteI so agree about Jane Austen -that would be great.
