Hey everyone! Welcome to another Top Five Tuesday! Today I'm going to be giving some of my favorite authors in the Teen/YA category. Now why did I decide to do authors instead of titles? Because most of the authors I'm going to give here are authors that have written many books and I couldn't choose just one! Let me know in the comments below if there are any authors you would have liked to see on the list and let me know if there is a specific title that you love from any of these authors as well!

Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Jennifer Lynn Barnes writes books that are so fast paced and action packed. Any time I have ever picked up a book by her, I am immediately pulled into the world that she has created and don't want to leave. Her books usually contain characters that have some kind of special ability, not the XMen type of ability, more like high IQ type of smarts. Her new book, Little White Lies, comes out November 8, 2018.

Ally Carter
Now, if you've ever seen any of my book reviews on YouTube, then you've probably heard me talk about Ally Carter. I have loved everything I have ever read by this woman! Her characters are all full of sass and the way they develop throughout a book or series is amazing. Her books are also super packed with action from start to finish and they have an element of comedy that will make you laugh out loud! Her latest book, Not if I Save You First, is a great stand alone for someone who hasn't read anything by her and wants to check her out!
#3
Meg Cabot
When I was in high school, she went by a couple of different names. Now, she just goes by Meg Cabot. I added her to this list, because I haven't really read much of her adult fiction, but I have read almost all of her YA fiction. My first book that I read by her was the first book of the 1800-Where-Are-You series and she is also the author of the Princess Diaries series as well as the Mediator series. I recently went back and listened to the audio versions of the Mediator series and had to laugh at some of the late 90's/early 2000s references. They were still just as entertaining the second (or third or fourth) time through!
#2
Cassandra Clare
While some of her early work was a little difficult to get through as her writing style has developed so much more as she had written through the years, Cassandra Clare has to be one of my favorite authors still. The Shadowhunter-verse has become something extraordinary and I am so glad that I have been able to follow it and watch it turn into what it is today. Her first series, The Mortal Instruments was actually turned into a television series on Freeform!
#1
Sarah Dessen
This author has gotten me through some of the most difficult times both as a teenager and even through some of my adult years. Sarah Dessen writes with such a truth that it make the reader relate so well to all of the characters and not just a few. I can't tell you the number of times I have read a Sarah Dessen book and thought about how well I knew the characters before I even started reading about them.
Well, everyone, I hope you enjoyed this Top Five Tuesday! There are authors that I wish I could have put on here, but I could only choose five for now. Maybe you'll see them on another list soon!
