the authors that define my reading taste

One of my favorite parts about getting older is finding the authors that define me. From Lily King to Elena Ferrante, all of these authors came to me at the perfect time, and I literally cannot imagine who I would be without having read their work. I have an entire shelf dedicated to Ferrante, and the collections of the other authors are growing rapidly. 

I’ve also included some authors who left an impression on me that I am determined to read more of in 2025. Who are your repeat authors?
