Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish (click the image to visit them) who pick a different topic each week.
This week the topic is: Top Ten Underrated Authors or Books in X genre
Woah, this is a tough one. It was taking me a really long time to even chose a genre, so I’m just going for underrated British Authors!
I feel like authors are mainly underrated because of the genres they write in. I like to read a lot of different genres as I’m sure most bloggers do, but I think the average reader is more set in their ways and tend to overlook certain authors for that reason.
That was the basis of my thinking for this list. If it’s not a genre you usually go for, give these authors a go.
- Scarlett Thomas – Contemporary with a Sci-Fi twist
- Derek Landy – Children’s Fiction
- Darren Shan – Horror; Children’s Fiction
- Marcus Sedgwick – YA
- Mark Haddon – Contemporary
- Kate Morton – Historical/Women’s Fiction
- Ann Cleaves – Crime Fiction
- Trisha Ashley – Women’s Fiction
- Malorie Blackman – YA
- John Connolly – Known for his Crime series, but check out his YA
