Hey guys, it's Kirsti. Welcome back to my channel and welcome to another
installment of Monthly Recommendations. For those of you who
don't know, Monthly Recommendations is a Goodreads group that was started by
Kayla Rayne and Trina from Between Chapters and as always, I will leave links
to all their details down in the description below. Every month there is a theme and
you recommend books based on that theme. This month's theme is auto-buy
authors. The first one - obviously. Zero surprises for anybody - is Becky
Albertalli. I love the shit out of Becky Albertalli's books. I would read
her shopping lists if she would let me and if it wasn't so fucking creepy. I
just... I need all of her books all of the time. Similarly, Rainbow Rowell. I would - again -
read her shopping lists quite happily. I own all of her books. I don't own Kindred
Spirits, the special edition thing that she did for, like, book week or book day or
something to do with books in the UK. I don't own that in hard copy but I have it
on my Kindle and, like, everything else I have in hard copy, even Landline which I
didn't really like very much. J.K. Rowling. Yeah. Obviously, I buy all of
her things, even the Robert Galbraith stuff. I don't
actually own Casual Vacancy, but that's the only book of hers that I don't own and
I have read that one. Terry Pratchett. But even then, it comes with the caveat
that I tend only to buy the stuff from the Discworld series. Like, the last
probably ten, I think, Discworld books? I bought them basically the second they
came out. I was so excited to read all of those books. But his sci-fi stuff that he
co-wrote with...I think Stephen Baxter? I've read one or two of those but I
don't feel the same urge to buy them. So, like, it was the Discworld series that I
was auto-buying and not, you know, Terry Pratchett books. And now there will be no
more Terry Pratchett books so great now I made myself sad. Ilona Andrews. I do not
always buy Ilona Andrews books. There are a couple of series, like, I always buy the
Kate Daniels ones, but there are a couple of other series that they have - because
it's actually husband-wife team - there's a couple of other series that they have
where, like, I read the first book in the series and I was like "Eh. It's not
terrible but it's also not great." So I will auto-buy the Kate Daniel series
but I won't auto-buy, like, everything. Similarly, Kelley Armstrong. I auto
bought all of the Women of the Other World series,
and I auto-bought this whole series and I have eventually ended up that I've got
the whole Nadia Stafford series which is, like, the thriller series that she wrote.
But she has a couple of other series where I'm a bit hit or miss with them. Um.
Sea of Shadows, I think it was called? was, like, a fantasy YA series that she
wrote and I read the first book in that series and I was like "Eh. I do not
really care for this." So I haven't kept buying that one but, like, generally I
will buy her stuff and read it. Gail Carriger. I love the shit out of Gail
Carriger's books but generally I buy them on my Kindle and I don't always buy
them as soon as they come out. It depends on the book. Sometimes I will and sometimes
I'm like "Yeah, I can hold off until that goes on sale." But I will read them. Morgan
Matson, because I am fucking trash for Morgan Matson's stuff. I love her
books. They are all great. I have loved all of them. I've read them all multiple
times. I haven't read her new one multiple times I'm lying I haven't read them all
multiple times. I've read her older ones multiple times. I
need to reread her new one because it was cute and I loved it. So yeah. I just... I
love her stuff. It's great. Karin Slaughter. Karin Slaughter's books I tend to, like, I've
read all of her backlist from the library and so her new stuff I tend to
get on my Kindle. But I don't have to get it, like, the second that it comes out. I
will read it eventually and, like, usually within a couple of months of it coming
out, but it's not one that I will like actively pre-order, if that makes sense.
I still I love her stuff and I would happily own, like, all of her books in physical
form. Preferably with less ugly covers than this one. Becky Chambers. I just... I
need her to write faster and more and tell me everything that is happening on
the Wayfarer forever and ever because I love these characters so much. One that I
suspect would be an auto-buy author but I can't actually determine that because her
second series is not available yet in Australia is Rae Carson. I love the shit
out of the Girl of Fire and Thorns trilogy. It is phenomenal and I adore it. I really
really want to read her other series that I have forgotten the name of but
it's not available in Australia, which causes me a lot of physical
pain. And I don't want to buy it in physical
form having not read it yet. Also, the last time I checked it was only
available in hardback and I don't do that shit. But I don't want to buy it
without having read it because...yeah. I don't. I just... I don't. I want to read it
and then decide if I want hard copies or not. You know? One that I'm pretty sure is
going to end up being an auto-buy author based on her debut novel is Angie Thomas.
I'm sure none of you are surprised by this because this book is phenomenal but
considering she's only got the one book out, I'm a little hesitant to say that
she's an auto-buy author based solely on one book. I feel like I need more
books to assess that. So, you know, if she could bring out more books, that would be
really great. And finally, Hannah Kent. I knew literally nothing about this book
yet I picked it up and paid money for it. So I guess it's safe to say that Hannah
Kent is an auto-buy author. So there you have it, friends. That is my auto-buy authors. If
you have thoughts on any of these, please let me know down in the comments, I'd
love to talk about it with you. Thank you guys so much for watching, I love all your
faces and I will see you on Monday. Bye guys.
