I am a book buyer and my budget is super tight right now so I have not been able to load up on my YA purchases in a long time. So I was super psyched to find Waiting for You by Susane Colasanti waiting for me in my TBR pile. As librarians we try to recommend books for readers based on the authors we know they like. So, if one of my patrons likes Gossip Girl, I might recommend they try the Private series by Kate Brian. In this case, if a reader likes books by Sarah Dessen, she might also want to try books by Susane Colasanti. At least, that's what I was told and I was not disappointed! And now I am excited to have another author whose work I know I will like, simply because of the kinds of stories she tells.
What about you? Have you found other authors based on recommendations from librarians or booksellers -- if you like X AUTHOR, you should try Y AUTHOR? Inquiring minds want to know!
xoxo,
