[Top Ten Tuesday] – #72 – Auto-buy Authors

Top Ten Tuesday is an original weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. I thought this would be a fun way to share a condensed version of potential rambles and thoughts that I have.

This Week’s Theme:
[Potential] Auto-buy Authors


Initial Thoughts:

Considering last weeks post (re: Authors I’ve Read The Most Books From), this post is sort of an extension of it.

See: I haven’t read a whole bunch from the authors I’ve read; this makes the status of auto-buy author quite dubious to validate. Moreover, for me, interest in future publications isn’t grounded solely on the namesake but also what the story will be about. Most of the time it takes having read 2+ books to win that golden ticket toward auto-buy stardom…but then there are series that kind of break this rule so I don’t really know what to say…

With that in mind, I will give you a list of current authors who I’ve read only one book from who could reach that auto-buy title (not that my singular accolade means anything).

That being said, I actually do own multiple books for many authors. I just haven’t gotten to them because when I bought them initially I was like “yeah! gonna read this soon!” and mood was like “lolnope” and here we are today with this post.

Ten Fairy Tale Retellings in Film


 

Initial Thoughts:

Oh look, he’s diverged from the main topic again–what a surprise!

I actually don’t read many fairy tale retellings (or maybe I’m just unconsciously aware when I am). However, I have seen a good amount of films that can find its roots in Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Andersen tales. Some are good, others are bad, and then there are the ones that are just there. i chose not to include strictly animated films (e.g. like Tangled or Coraline).

Blurb excerpts included just because.
