Top Ten Tuesday: Auto-Buy Authors

This week's topic is Auto-Buy Authors and oh, boy do I have a lot. There are too many to name. And they fall into three categories: 1. For Me. 2. For the Library 3. For Both. Luckily working at the library allows to so much freedom when it comes to buying books. I'm going to talk about picture book illustrators and authors today.

Top Ten Tuesday: Auto-Buy Authors

This week's topic is authors you automatically buy. As a reader, I get most of my books from the library. When I was a librarian, I had SEVERAL YA authors that were not Rockstar authors. These authors went out like hotcakes - sometimes they were on the reading list, sometimes I hand sold them to kids, or sometimes the cover just grabbed them.Either way, I was happy to buy them, happy to read them, and happy to recommend them.Of course, this is a very small list of authors; there were many more.
