Today I saw a publisher post on Instagram highlighting Sy Montgomery’s new book What the Chicken Knows: A New Appreciation of the World’s Most Familiar Bird due out in November. Without thinking, I opened my Goodreads app and added it to my TBR. It got me thinking about those authors that automatically get added to my TBR without a second thought. They are, in no particular order:

1. Ruta Sepetys
2. Sy Montgomery
3. Jason Reynolds
4. Jeff Zentner
5. Erik Larson
6. Jon Krakauer
7. James L. Swanson
8. Mary Roach
9. Caitlin Doughty
10. Candace Fleming
