When you publish, I'll be there

Hello Lovelies! As usual Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful people over at The Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic is 10 Authors I would Auto-Buy meaning if these authors were to publish anything, I would be at the bookstore that week, money in hand.  Anne Bishop: I'm currently finishing up the only series of hers I haven't read, and she's one of the few adult authors who I seriously adore. I would (and will) buy anything she writes. Jandy Nelson: Omg, I'm obsessed with   I'll Give You the Sun and I really enjoyed The Sky is Everywhere . I can't wait for her next book release!

WCW: Leslye Walton

Another new crush. Unfortunately, this author doesn't have a backlog of books for me to read my way through. Leslye Walton's debut novel The Strange & Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender came out in 2014. It's a Morris Award nominee, and oh boy does it deserve it.  Walton has an MA in writing, and she also teaches middle school (brave soul!). She lives in Seattle, and I think that fondness for the Pacific Northwest definitely comes through in Ava Lavender .  Walton's prose is extraordinary beautiful and lyrical. I wanted more constantly. I cannot wait for her next book to be published.
