Authors I want to get to soon

As the title implies this is a list of authors that I have heard about but I have not even read a single work by.
There are hundreds obviously, as there is not enough time to get to all the books I want to get to. 
So I'll leave here a list of the top 10 authors I want to get to know soon.

 As usual, I do not do a lot of research mainly because I don't like to be spoiled when I'm trying to read a new book/series. 

 1. Robin Hobb 

She is a very well known fantasy author, I started to buy the trilogy assassin's apprentice and the tawny man. No idea what is is about other than the fact that we follow a young boy as he grows up and is trained in a world where he finds it hard to finds his place.
2. Robert Jordan, I have been wanting to pick up the wheel of time. I have added the first book in several monthly TBRs so we'll see how it goes once I actually get to.

 3. AS King
I have been trying to get into her works. Booktube has been raging about some of the stories she has come up with- but not sure where to begin. I have heard all the stories are heart touching, I am curious. 

 4. Mark Lawrence. I need to find out about his fantasy worlds and immerse myself in stories that seem to capture hundreds of people. 

 5. NK Jemisin is known to have an overwhelming world and magic systems in her stories. Really looking forward to the broken earth trilogy mainly. 

 6. JRR Tolkien. No need to introduce the works by him, I am just a bit behind as I have never read any of the books. 

 7. Brian K. Vaughan. This is mainly due to my wish to explore more graphic novel 

 8. Mario Puzo. I really wonder what it's like to dive into historical crime stories. Really looking forward to it.

 9. John Marrs I am intrigued about this book, it seems like people who are into the mystery/thriller genre. I want to get into his works. 

 10.  Becky Chambers the main companion novels with sci-fi elements with heart touching moments.

Bird Box

Author: Josh Malerman Genre: Mystery/Thriller, Horror Original publication date: March 2014 Book description:  Something is out there, something terrifying that must not be seen. One glimpse of it, and a person is driven to deadly violence. No one knows what it is or where it came from. Five years after it began, a handful of scattered survivors remains, including Malorie and her two young children. Living in an abandoned house near the river, she has dreamed of fleeing to a place where they might be safe. Now that the boy and girl are four, it's time to go, but the journey ahead will be terrifying: twenty miles downriver in a rowboat—blindfolded—with nothing to rely on but her wits and the children's trained ears. One wrong choice and they will die. Something is following them all the while, but is it man, animal, or monster? Thoughts: So this is a reread. The first time I read it was last year mainly because of booktube recommendations and the movie was released in N

Mid Month Wrap up (Hous Pocus + #AYearAThon)

For the beginning of the month, I participated in two Readathons. So I will do a wrap up of those two first ones that ended on the 13th. The first one was HOCUS POCUS READATHON. The goal was to cast a Spell to become immortal. Goal accomplished! It consisted of 7 challenges out of them, 6 were reading related. Read a total of 6 books. In those the total pages read were 2,263 In average it represented 377.67 pages per book  Not bad for the first two weeks of the month but yeah most of the book were on the shorter side. The second readathon accomplished was #AYearAThon in which we had to read a thriller. In a very good coincidence, these two overlapped allowing me to use a book from the previous challenges to cover this one as well. For this readathon only one book was finished, Misery and this one contained 370 pages.

Across the Atlantic, in Phoenix, Arizona, a cryogenics facility houses dozens of bodies of men and women who are medically and legally dead… but waiting to return to life.
