Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created over at The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list and everyone is invited to share their answers. If you’re interested, head on over to The Broke and the Bookish to take a peek at upcoming Top Ten Topics.
This week’s topic: Top Ten Books I’d Recommend to Someone Who Liked X Author
Perhaps my favorite topic EVER. Instead of doing ten books for one author, I’m just going to do a couple for some of my favorites authors/series…hope that’s OK 
If you like Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series, I recommend A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness and Overseas by Beatriz Williams (the latter is based just on the book description, but I really want to read it!).
If you like Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse series, I recommend the Kitty Norville series by Carrie Vaughn. (More Sookie readalikes here)
If you like Elizabeth Peters’ Amelia Peabody series, I recommend Gail Carriger’s Parasol Protectorate series. (Alexia is like Amelia with a twist.)
If you like Malcolm Gladwell’s writings, I recommend Quiet by Susan Cain, The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, and Imagine by Jonah Lehrer.
If you like George R.R. Martin’s Song of Ice & Fire series, I recommend The Inheritance Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin and The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss (I would also recommend Rothfuss to Harry Potter fans).
If you enjoyed Bossypants by Tina Fey, I recommend Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson. (More books by Funny Ladies here)
If you like Margaret Atwood’s novels, I recommend When She Woke by Hillary Jordan and The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker.
If you enjoyed American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld, I recommend Shine Shine Shine by Lydia Netzer.
If you enjoyed Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, I recommend Alif the Unseen by G. Willow Wilson. Alif isn’t as nostalgia heavy as RPO, but it gives a few short waves to geekery.
If you like Sandra Dallas’ novels, I recommend These Is My Words by Nancy Turner.
If you like The Walking Dead (TV series & graphic novels), I recommend The Newsflesh Trilogy by Mira Grant and World War Z by Max Brooks.
OK…so I went way over. Can’t wait to see what everyone else recommends!
I like your recommendations and the way you put this list together. I’ve got These is my words loaded onto the kindle and hope I get to it soon. I’ve heard it is good. kaye—the road goes ever ever on
Thank you! Can’t wait to hear what you think of These Is My Words!
Well I’m glad I found your blog. These are awesome recs!
Thanks!
Nice recommendations! I’ll definitely check them out
Sweet! Thanks for stopping by!
Lawson’s book is perfect for people who loved Bossypants! I also think I’ll check out Quiet by Susan Cain because of your recommendation. I enjoy Gladwell’s books.
Yay!
LOVE this list! I love George R>R. Martin’s series – and I’ve only read 1 book by Jemisin, The Kingdom of Gods, which I loved! I’ll definitely be reading more from her. Ready Player One was so good – and I’ve been meaning to read the Putlander series forever – must get to it this year!
Thus far I’ve not read Martin, but I do have Rothfuss on my to-read-very-soon list! I’m excited to give him a try.
Thanks for coming by my blog!
Great job on this list. I am really hoping to read The Power of Habit and Quiet soon. I’m also a big fan of funny lady memoirs. Thanks for the recommendations.
This is so well done! What a thoughtful TTT. I have always wanted to read the Outlander series, and I got a kick out of A Discovery of Witches. Maybe I will take that suggestion backwards!
Yes! Do! And let me know what you think of Outlander! I think I’ve seen on Twitter that there’s an Outlander Read-Along happening somewhere out there in the blogosphere.
