My Favorite 'World Building' Authors

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly

 meme held over at The Broke and the Bookish. 

This weeks topic is your top ten favorite authors

in a specific genre. For Example: Dystopian, 

Contemporary, Sci-Fi...

I chose dystopian, but not just dystopian, because some of my authors aren't classified as such. My selections are authors that are amazing at world building. Describing how that world works and having it flow in my head like a movie. Or when it's still our world, but society is so much different, everything is ran completely different than now. 

My choices:

Veronica Roth

Ahhh, Veronica Roth, the wonderful author of Divergent. I loved Divergent from the first few pages, I knew I was going to fall in love with it. And I did. The world that they live in is crazy, and although we don't know exactly what's going on, we will soon. Can't wait for the third and final book. 

Cat Patrick

Cat Patrick... If you haven't read Forgotten or Revived, you need to. That's need to be on your 'right after I finish this' list! She is amazing at this kinda stuff. Both are set in the present, but when you get sucked into the stories and see how differently their own personal world is... It's amazing.

Tahereh Mafi

I started reading Shatter Me and was instantly drawn in and not even really knowing why. I had heard her name thrown around, but didn't know what all the fuss was about until I actually started reading her book. It's amazing so far, it had to go back to the library, so unfortunately I didn't get to finish it yet. But I'm on the waiting list for it :)

Beth Revis

Have you read Across the Universe? If not, you should! The world Beth Revis built on Godspeed was amazing, all the futuristic-ness was wonderful! I still haven't made it around to A Million Suns, but I will. Hopefully just in time for Shades of Earth. 

Richelle Mead

I just recently read Vampire Academy and though Richelle Mead did a fabulous job. The names were a little weird, but that's all part of the world building. I loved learning about all the different Royals and levels of vampires. Definitely a really great author. Hopefully soon I'll get around to the second book. 

Suzanne Collins

Although I didn't really care for The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins is a great author. All the characters in the different districts and their different social statuses really is very creative. I will eventually finish the series, I'm just not in a rush to do so. 

Kat Zhang

Many of you may not have ever heard of Kat Zhang, but her debut novel What's Left of Me just recently came out. And I read it as fast as I could get my hands on it. The synopsis was so weird and original and extremely unique... for me. I've never heard of anything else like that. A must read!

J.K. Rowling

She wrote the wonderful, wizarding world of Harry Potter... Need I say more?!

Well, those are my picks. I only had 8. I know I didn't exactly follow the guidelines, because I didn't pick an actual genre, but they are my favorite to read in terms of world/society building.

Have you read any of these authors?

Top Ten Bookish People I Want To Meet

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly

 meme held over at The Broke and the Bookish. 

This weeks topic is the top ten bookish people 

you'd like to meet. It can be authors or bloggers,

or anyone, as long as they're bookish :)

1. Robert Kirkman

I obviously chose him because he is the 

creator/author of The Walking Dead comics!

 I am currently OBSESSED with it! I have 

read up to about issue #95 in 10 days! 

I've been reading as much as time

 allows. I think I'm in love :)

2. Jamie McGuire

I love her too. Such a great author. I am 

completely in love with Travis from Beautiful

Disaster. I can't wait for her next book. 

3. Cat Patrick

Awesome, awesome ideas! I don't know

she comes up with these ideas. But the

execution is absolutely fabulous! I would

love to pick her brain!

4. Ellen Hopkins

I absolutely love all her books. I haven't

read one yet that I disliked even a little.

5. Veronica Roth

OMG! The author of Divergent! Enough said!

6. Jay Asher

13 Reasons Why was so powerful for me

& The Future of Us was absolutely epic!

Both are definitely must reads! 

Can't wait for his future books!

7. John Green

Although I didn't really like Looking For

Alaska, I know that he is a awesome author.

And the fact that he makes YouTube 

videos with his brother?! Awesome!

I'm done with authors. Since I'm new to the book blogger community, I haven't really talked to a lot of fellow bloggers, but there are a few I'd love to meet :)

8. Bianca :)

Bianca was one of the first to say hello to 

me and she's always been so nice to me.

And I always get excited when she leaves 

comments on my blog posts, it lets me 

know that someone other than me is 

reading it. I think she's not too far 

away, maybe one day we can hang out :)

She is co-author of Pages of Forbidden Love.

9. Theta Sigma

I don't know his real name, but he too was

one of the first to say hello to me. He's 

very kind and always has something funny 

to say :) His blog is Resolution Corner.

10. Loretta

I first saw Loretta on YouTube, I love

her videos. I think she's hilarious. And

I love when she buys a million books. 

You can tell that she is completely 

obsessed with books, as am i. 

Her blog is Between the Pages.

Did you do a TTT this week?

Have a great one!
