10 Fantastic Contemporary Authors

The complete works of 10 contemporary authors whom I adore!!! I haven't read all of their books (not even close) but I have really enjoyed the ones I did read!
Note: *I did not list books with under 1,000 reviews on Goodreads or works that were part of compilations.*
Also: For Edgar Cantero I only listed his books available in English (others are only available in Catalan.)
The authors are:
1-15: Jasper Fforde
16-22: Geraldine Brooks
23-27: Yann Martel
28-29: Erin Morgenstern
30-39: Zadie Smith
40-48: Kazuo Ishiguro
49-57: Tom Perrotta
58-70: Rainbow Rowell
71-77: Mary Doria Russell
78-81: Edgar Cantero
