TTT: Top authors I have not read, yet

November 14: Mainstream Popular Authors that I Still Have Not Read (Submitted by Rissa)

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
