I've seen this meme on a lot of blogs and decided to join in. This meme was created by The Broke and Bookish. Every Tuesday there is a new topic that involves a list of ten books.
This Week's Topic: Top Ten Books That Would Be On Your Syllabus If You Taught X 101
I'm teaching World Building 101
1) J.K. Rowling
2) Leigh Bardugo
3) Marie Lu
4) Victoria Aveyard
5) Veronica Rossi
6) George R. R. Martin
7) J. R. R. Tolkien
8) Suzanne Collins
9) Christopher Paolini
10) Sarah J. Maas
Which authors would you add to this list?
If I could add one more, I would add Laini Taylor :D.
ReplyDeleteSarah @ The Reading Petal
The only reason I didn't add her is because I haven't read her books yet! I will try though next month or so.
DeleteThis would be an amazing class! I agree with so many of these (the only reason I don't agree with the others is I haven't read them). What a great list though!
ReplyDeleteThank you! There are a few others I would have put on here but I haven't read them so I couldn't haha
DeleteGreat list! I totally agree with the ones on here that I've actually read books from.

Thank you! It was actually hard to come up with them all.
DeleteExcellent way to own this Top Ten Tuesday Topic. Adore Gail Carriger. There's some here that have me bookmarking this post. Mine is not so refined however, I came at it with short stories, which I do think is different.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT which isn't actually a list and shh... I have 11 short stories on my not list today.
You're so sweet! And short stories still count =)
Deletebritt i had a strong feeling that leigh would make it to your list and i wasn't wrong haha! i would totally have her on my syllabus too, so is marie lu, sarah j. maas and victoria aveyard!
ReplyDeletexx, isha | twosistersbloggin.blogspot.com
Of course you did XD. She makes all of my lists except for my not so positive ones haha.
DeleteDefinitely agree with JK Rowling, Sarah J Maas and Suzanne Collins, they all created amazing worlds!

I think they made everyone's list on this topic =P
DeleteI think Leigh is on EVERYONE'S list! I can't wait to read Veronica Rossi's new book!
ReplyDeleteI adore Leigh Bardugo, she's my favorite author<3 Riders was good just don't go into it expecting Under the Never Sky
DeleteTolkien is the KING of world building, even if I've only ever read The Hobbit, and have tried (5 times) to read LotR and could never get past the Council of Elrond. But he was so good at writing the lore of Middle Earth, I would love to read history books from that world.
ReplyDeleteYes, he definitely is. I read The Hobbit but haven't ever attempted reading LOTR but I will someday!
DeleteI haven't read boks from all these authors, but I agree with you on the ones I've read books by (1,2,4,5,8,10). I love the Lord of the Rings movies, but I haven't read the books. Great list!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I haven't read the LOTR books either but I hope to get to them at some point.
