Top 5 Tuesday is created by the always prolific Shanah, the Bionic Book Worm, and this week we’re talking about favourite authors A, B, C, D, & E. This was a tough one, and while sometimes I used the first name and sometimes the last, I didn’t have to cheat or really reach to use middle names of anything like that.
A – Amie Kaufman
Unearthed left me wanting a little more, but for her part in the Illuminae series, she totally deserves to be the first author named in this series.
B – Pierce Brown
Yup. You all knew this one was coming. Author of the Red Rising series, which is one of my favourite series of all time.
C – Chuck Palahniuk
This guy single-handedly brought me out of a multi-year reading slump, and inspired me to finish my own first novel. His writing style is truly unique. Also, it’s pronounced pal-a-nik. You know you were wondering.
D – Philip K Dick
The brilliant mind that brought us Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly, Man in the High Castle, and a ton of other titles that you’ve probably heard of multiple times in multiple forms of media, even if you’ve never picked up one of his books.
E – Ernest Hemingway
One of the smoothest writers I’ve ever read. The pages seem to fly by whether he’s writing about murder or an old man on a boat prepping a fishing pole.
Great choices. I like using a mix for first and last names, too.
I like that there was a switch up between first and last names! I’ve never read Hemingway…. I think I’m too stupid for him lol
