  Oh this…I did read almost every of them…except for some I haven’t buy the book. but unfortunately…I haven’t start to read his book in English.  

I did own the English edition of Elantris…but I haven’t finish it yet…and since he offered sign copies on his own website…I decided to save my money for those books!!!!!

1.      Elantris

2.      Mistborn

            i.                The Final Empire

          ii.                The Well of Ascension

        iii.                The Hero of Ages

9.      Warbreaker

Since there are way too many books to list…these are just some of the book I’ll put in the post and the book series I’ve touched. (I might not finish yet…but I will.) (Personally thought: Please…can you just finish a series or two first than coming out so many other books??? It’s killing me to wait for Elantris 2 and Warbreaker 2!!!!!!)  

No. 3 Cassandra Clare

  Who can say no to the Queen of Shadowhunters??? In the name of Angel Rziel…I curse you. (Wait…can I curse someone by the name of an angel??? Never mind. I curse nevertheless.) I must say…I didn’t like every Cassandra Clare’s book, but when they become a series and you stick till the last one, you’ll never be disappointed. She is one of the authors that create the greatest ending. It makes you cry, makes you laugh…just so much to bare when you’re reading her books. And I totally love that. I cried like a babe when I was reading City of Heavenly Fire and Clockwork Princess. I wonder what will happen when I read the last book of The Dark Artifices.

No. 5 Sarah J. Maas

To the stars who listen—and to the dreams that are answered.

  I know you’ve all been waiting for her for a long time. Queen of Fae…uh…I guess??? She is just such a fan of fae. However…I myself kind of hesitate to put her on list…since I’m quite disappointed with the going of Throne of Glass Series. I love A Court of Thornes and Roses with all my heart…but Thorne of Glass??? I wasn’t sure anymore.  

But it’s without denying that she really knows how to capture a reader’s heart. Ahh…my love Rhysand~~ I’m coming for you this May.

No. 6 Marissa Meyer

  My heart!!!!  

Part of my heart was still lost till now…I left it in Heartless. Marissa Meyer wasn’t a massive producer like Brandon Sanderson or Sarah J. Maas…but her every book is guarantee with certain quality…so that’s the reason why I can buy HEARTLESS WITH OF SECOND THOUGHT EVEN PREORDER IT!!!!!! (Well…actually the cover helps a lot…but…)

1.          The Lunar Chronicles

1.          Cinder

2.          Scarlet

3.          Cress

4.          Winter

5.          Stars Above

6.          Fairest

2.          Heartless 

No. 7 Melanie Dickerson

  Ohohoh…the author that brought me into the world of retelling. How can I not mention her??? it’s true that I was a bit disappointed with some of her books, but in total, she is one of the best romance teller and perhaps one of the few that I can stay reading. I don’t normally read romance…but her books…just make me swoon.

1.          Hagenheim Series (Fairy Tale Romance Series)

            i.                The Healer's Apprentice

          ii.                The Merchant’s Daughter

3.          The Regency Spies of London

            i.                A Spy’s Devotion

Well…there are still other authors I’d love to tell you…but since there wasn’t enough books to mention…I’ll leave it to the next post…which I don’t know when it’ll happen. But authors such as Sabaa Tahir, Renee Ahdieh…are all in the future list. I’d definitely mention them next time.
