Hey guys it's Trina and this is my monthly recommendations video for July.
Monthly recommendations is a Goodreads group created by Kayla Rayne and myself
where every month we have a topic and anyone in the book community can join in
and recommend their favorite books that fit that topic. This month our topic is
auto read authors. It can also be interpreted as auto buy authors but me
personally, I get most of my books from the library so I'm not actually buying every
single thing from these authors even though I will read them. I think this
first author is one that a lot of you guys can guess. That is Mindy McGinnis.
She has 5 books out so far. I have read all 5 of them. I own all 5 of them. And
her sixth book is coming out this fall. I'm already super excited about it. I
do have video reviews on my channel of every single one of these books so if
you want to hear more about these books or my thoughts on them specifically you
can definitely refer to those reviews. But I just really love Mindy's writing
style and I mean I loved it from the start. I started with her first, debut
novel Not A Drop To Drink the year or a few months after it came
out and I just loved the gritty style and she has tackled so many different
types of genres and she brings that grittiness and that rawness and darkness
to all of her books. I really enjoy her writing. This is like my number one
author that I am a fangirl of so definitely you know she was going to be
on this list. The next author on my list I've read everything by so far and would
love to read more of is Rainbow Rowell. She does have five books published but I
only own these two but I have read all 5 of them.
She writes mostly contemporary and romances with the exception of Carry On,
which was kind of her take on fan fiction or fantasy. I have not loved
every single one of her books that I've read but I do enjoy her style and her
characters and stuff so whatever her next book is going to be I am planning
on picking it up if for nothing else other than it's been a really long time
since she's released a new book and I just would be really curious in if I
still am enjoying this author. But so far Rainbow Rowell has definitely been an
auto read author for me. Next is a guilty pleasure author in my opinion and that
is Sara Shepard. I do really enjoy Sara Shepard's mysteries. I have read almost
all of her books, I read all but two. The first two books she ever wrote are just
a little bit older and I don't know exactly how I would like the topics that
they are about but all of her like YA mystery series - Pretty Little Liars, The Lying Game,
The Perfectionists, The Amateurs, which is a new one, and she wrote The Heiresses,
which was an adult mystery - I read them all.
I don't always love everything that she does and how she incorporates certain
aspects into her books but this is an author that I have found that I enjoy
her mystery writing and like the suspense and I can always get through her books
pretty quickly. So there is something about her writing that I am enjoying
enough to keep reading what she's writing. This is her current work so like
she has the sequel to this one coming out this year and I really did enjoy
this first book so I do want to read the sequel. So I've read most of her previous
work and I'm looking forward to her upcoming work so she's not one of my
absolute favorite authors but I've read so much by her and you know I'm not
going to stop just reading her books because I do like her mysteries, they're
easy and quick to get through, and yeah I would consider her an auto read author.
Another guilty-pleasure author along those same lines that I have read
everything by is Kiera Cass. She's written the five books in The Selection
series and then she has the book The Siren, which is a standalone and Kiera
Cass is an author that I know I can go to if I'm just wanting something fluffy
and easy to get through. That's her thing and sometimes you need books like that. I
could do without these two but there's something about her writing that works
for me when I'm in the mood for these types of books. Now that The Selection
series is finally over I'm really curious in what she would write next. I
would like to see different genres from her, different topics and stuff, so she's
a writer that has fulfilled like that certain reading mood that I've been in
with her fluffy books and I'm very interested in seeing what she's going to
write next. Jessica Spotswood is another author that I will consider to be an
auto read author for me. Now, I'm putting her on this list although I have
only read her first three books, The Cahill Witch Chronicles trilogy. When I
read this series I loved it. I was like well this is an author that I really
want to watch out for, I want to read more by her, and then last year she came
out with Wild Swans and the A Tyranny of Petticoats anthology and I was so here
for them. I was so anticipating these books and I got them and I have not picked
them up yet. So I haven't actually read everything by her but this is still an
author that it's like I'm going to read these books, I'm looking forward to the
next thing that she publishes too, like I just do like her writing and I plan to
read all of her books so I would put her on this list. The same is true for Becky
Albertalli. I have only read her first book, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.
I have not yet gotten to The Upside of Unrequited but I am so stoked to read
this. It is one of my most anticipated books of this year. After reading Simon I knew
I was going to love Becky Albertalli as an author and knowing the topic of what
Upside is about I just know that I'm going to enjoy this book and I want to
keep supporting her so I'm always excited for a new Albertalli book and I
would definitely say she is an auto read author even though she's only got a
couple books out so far. And this brings me to debut authors who only have one book
out so far but I'm very excited for their next books and know that the next
books they already have announced and planned are going to be auto read books
for me. So the first of those authors is Angie Thomas. She wrote The Hate U Give.
This was her debut novel, just came out earlier this year, and the writing in
this book I was such a fan of it. I definitely need to read more by Angie
Thomas. I know that she's got her next book announced, I will definitely be
reading it. So even though it's early and she's only got one book out I want to
call it, Angie Thomas is going to be an auto read
author for me, at least as of now. That is the same situation with Sandhya Menon who
wrote When Dimple Met Rishi. This book just came out, she has two future books
already announced in the same genre as When Dimple Met Rishi and one of those
books actually follows a side character from this book, so just knowing what
those books are about and that I liked her writing in this genre I definitely
want to see more by this author. And another debut author that is currently
in my auto read status who I actually don't own her first book, but it is S. M.
Parker who wrote The Girl Who Fell. It came out last year and that book tackled
an abusive relationship and her next book is not tackling that at all but I
just - that book was so powerful to me it made me a fan of that
author and her writing and like what she was doing and ever since I read that
book I was like whatever this author writes next I'm going to read it. The
Rattled Bones actually comes out in August so I don't have to wait too much
longer for it! I've been looking forward to it for like over a year but it's going
to be a YA mystery and I'm definitely looking forward to just more of this
author in a different genre and just seeing more of her writing and how I
like it too. So as of right now these debut authors are auto read status
for me even though they've only got one book out. I'd love to hear what some of
your auto read or auto-buy authors are. Were any that were on my list also on your
list? I'd love to hear that from you guys. Thank you guys so much for watching and
I will see you in the comments. Bye!
