I am a strong believer in the idea that money is never wasted on books. Books encourage creativity and a passion for knowledge, becoming vessels that simultaneously entertain and educate us. All books are valuable in some way, whether they be fiction or non-fiction, and so supporting writers whose books we love is so important in expressing the meaning their work has in our lives. We all have writers we consider to be our favouritesΒ and, as such, we wait in eager anticipation for their latest book to be released fully aware that it will bring us joy. Personally, I’m the type of reader that when I fall in love with an author, I not only want to read every book they’ve written, but I also want to support their art by buying their books. You do not necessarily have to support your favourite author in a monetary way, but it is the strongest indicator that their work is well-received as you are contributing to the success of their book and thus increasing their chances of writing another one! Today, I’d like to share a few authors whose books I automatically purchase because I love their stories immensely and want to support their work. It doesn’t matter what the book is about, I will still buy it because the author has ceased to disappoint me in the past! Here are my top three auto-buy authors!

Title: Everless

Author: Sara Holland

Publisher: Hachette UK

Publication Date: 4 January 2018

Genre: Young Adult Fantasy

Rating:Β 

Sara Holland’s debut novel, Everless, is perhaps one of the most underrated YA Fantasy releases of the year. There has been very little attention given to the novel and those that have read it are indifferent in their opinion. Whilst the story may have some issues that many debut novels suffer with, it is one of the least predictable and dare I say original YA fantasies that I have come across in a long time. The infusion of mythology into an archaic world makes for a fantasy that reads more like folklore and creates quite an immersive reading experience. I loved the journey this book took me on with its many twists and turns; however, there were a few issues with the characters that I could not overlook, resulting in my 4-star rating.
