5 Book Authors who are guaranteed to make me immerse myself in the story

or authors who make me come back to the same stories over and over again.

Welcome, dearies!

A new list is here, but not a book specific one, but the authors that made me grab copy after copy of their books, and sometimes get different versions of the same book. 😍 What they have in common? Not much other their amazing way of telling a story and make me want to go into those worlds.

Basically, the authors who are responsible that I am such a bookish girl. High praise, I know! 😆✨️

Alright, here we go. Jumping right into it, I will ramble enough later on.

Cassandra Clare

This was the obvious one. Even if all books I have read by Cassie are the Shadowhunters novels it is still an author I would start reading a book from without questioning much. 🙂

And, yes, there are others books by her that are not The Mortal Instrumentals, The Dark Artifices, or Magnus’ Stories. Like Sword Catcher.

Jennifer Armentrout

For Jennifer, again, I haven’t actually read other books others than the ones with Aliens and such in them, yes, I mean the Lux Series and the Origin Series. But unlike with Cassandra Clare, I do know she has so many other books that are right up my alley, I have them saved on my endless TBR. Like the Dark Elements Series, Harbinger Series or the Covenant Series, all of which I have read the descriptions of and added to my list. But she has others, too.

Shana Abe

Ah, Shana. I love her writing, she quickly became one of my top fav authors after I read The Drakon Series. And I did read almost all of her books after that.

It was epic. Mostly Romance, Regency, Fantasy, and drama novels in a historical setting (Intimate Enemies. The Last Mermaid. A Winter Rose), and yet, I read through each book like it was a holiday and I had the time. This was years ago, but I have re-read some of her books and still like them like the first time.

But The Sweetest Dark and The Dream Thief remain my top favourite books by Shana. And yes, I have bought or added books by her only by seeing her name.

Laura Gallego

Laura Gallego Garcia is a Spanish author that first got my attention when I read The Idhun Chronicles, ten years ago? Or so, it was a long time ago. 🥹 And from that first trilogy, which I have re read a bunch of times and talked about almost a little too much (Idhunita), but because of how much I immersed myself in the story of the three suns and three moons, I couldn’t help but see her name and immediately buy a book or add it to my TBR.

Now, I haven’t read them all, but I am sure that I will like them all the same.

Marissa Meyer

Alright, finally but not least important or less favourite is Marissa Meyer, although she is a newer like, her retelling of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel to name the first three of The Lunar Chronicles was on point and creative, haha, that sounded a bit generic, sorry.

Let me start again, I love The Lunar Chronicles stories, Cinder, which is about Cinderella, I had to restart the first chapter a couple of times before I truly stayed and read to them. And it was worth it. And after reading Scarlet, I went and got the paperbacks, and when I started Cress, I was in deep with the story. By Winter (book 4) I was committed and sure I would read anything by Marissa Meyer.

That’s all for this one.

As I was naming these 5 like another three came to mind, but romance authors, lol. There is an idea 😄 a list of romance authors that make me buy ebooks over and over, should I?

Let me know in the comments. Or if you liked this list and would like to see different ones. I’m all ears.

Don’t forget to like, share, and follow if you are not already. It’s always nice to see your interest. ♥️

About Authors and Descriptions in Books

What happens when we read?

Hello, dearies!

Well, this one is a bit of a random but related to books, so not so much.

I saw online this comment about how authors write something and people (readers) criticise them for it, they even go as far as to make campaigns or whatever against authors, just because they didn’t like something in a book. A description, a cliche, or anything that the author decided was to be that way, but why go to such lengths as to try to make other readers ban the book or try that that writer never touches a keyboard again?

Let me give you some context from my particular experience.

When an author wants to include Spanish words or talks about someone being Latino, I find it funny most of the time because it looks forced to me, and sometimes think that they have no right to try to describe a situation they’re not quite knowledgeable in, or perhaps I’m wrong and they saw it that way growing up. So I just let those slide as a Latin American person, even if at times, I find something offensive or ridiculous, I’m not going to leave a trashy review or offend the author because I don’t know why the author decided to portray a character or scene in that way, and I could make a mistake at some point without meaning it.

It’s difficult to sit down and finish a book, it’s even more difficult to publish it. I am going to go out of my way and say that no matter if you’re an indie author or an author with a contract in a publishing house, it’s the same kind of feeling of how will they take it? Of course, as an Indie Author, in my particular case, I publish and let it be because I have no fame whatsoever, and as far as I know, people read and don’t leave reviews or leave poor reviews because they don’t like it, and that’s fine. Not all books are for everyone.

My point is, don’t trash an author that you don’t like and try to get people behind you to do the same, what if that person, yes there’s a person behind those words you don’t like, what if they lived a strange life and decided they wanted to write their own experience? Or maybe they decided to write whatever came to mind and didn’t feel like investigating a lot, or they did and still decided to write a story from their own point of view, couldn’t that be the case? We don’t know what a person is going through or went through, in my case, if I don’t like a book, I’m not going to leave a 1-star review or say don’t read it, it’s horrible. I simply move on with my life and pick up another read, and I rather not leave a review at all. Although I may not finish a book that I don’t like after fifty per cent or less, I’ll just stop reading.

I just wanted to share some of my thoughts on this one. Sorry about the sort of random post.

As always, thank you for reading to the end, and for a book review, you can check the main site or under Reviews by Genre and find all the goods over there.

Happy reading!

Behind the Reader

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies,” said Jojen. “The man who never reads lives only one.”

Hey, dearies! How are you today?

So, I remembered, realised, noticed, however you want to call it, that I don’t have much on me on the blog, though how obsessed I am with some books, characters and authors is also a statement.

But today, I’m doing a bit of fast facts on me since I’m not only a reader but also a writer, a photography aficionado, a traveller, a sister, an aunt, a friend and many other things. But I’ll keep it short, as you know I do, sometimes.

Behind the Reader

Fast facts about me. I’ll number them.

I’m a self-published author.
I have a degree in Telecommunications Engineering.
I don’t use my degree. I prefer to do other things that have little to do with telecommunications.
I started writing when I was about fourteen? Before that, I kept journals of my daily life.
One of the first books I read and loved and wanted more of was The Chamber of Secrets.
I write better than I speak.
I have an ISFP personality. I don’t think that’s much of a shock, but for those who don’t know, it stands for Introverted, Observant, Feeling, and Prospecting personality traits.
I manage all my social media accounts.
I create all of my content, and I design the covers of my own books.

And that’s it. I just thought I should share a bit more since I feel like, at times, people don’t realise there is an actual person behind all of this. 🙂 Thank you for reading. And if you’re on any social media, find me as each.page or sela.ordaz.author or amanda_littrell_author.

Happy Easter Week! 🐰
