New to Me Authors

Happy Birthday! Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl) turned ten yesterday. I happen to share a birthday with Top Ten Tuesday. So to celebrate our birthdays, we’re having a special post! We have different options of what we want to post today. I’m choosing to update a post on New To Me Authors (original date January 14, 2019). Here is my original New-to-Me Author post. I thought I’d do this post again, with new to me authors from the first half of this year.

Stephanie Meyer – I might have gone my whole life without reading Twilight, but when Ms. Meyer decided to write Midnight Sun, I thought I’d check out the original books. They’re fairly entertaining. But she’s a new to me author this year.

Rachel Lynn Solomon – I adored Today Tonight Tomorrow! This isn’t her debut, but it’s the first book I’ve read by her. I would definitely read another book by her.

Cameron Lund – The Best Laid Plans was a cute book that I borrowed from the library this year. This is a best friends to lovers story that’s adorable. I may choose to read it again at some point.

Francesca Zappia – Eliza and her Monsters was a cute story too. It reminds me a little of Fangirl, which stars a creator with a large fanbase, but who is anonymous.

Emma Lord – One of the things that I love about the new-to-me authors topic is that there are always new authors out there to read. Tweet Cute was Emma Lord’s debut, and it’s also an adorable story.

Tessa Dare – Although there are plenty of new-to-me authors that are debuts, not all of the new authors are relatively new. Tessa Dare is a fairly prolific author, but I never read any of her stories before reading The Duchess Deal this year.

Andrew Fukuda – I don’t think I’ve read a lot of World War II fiction this year, but I did read This Light Between Us, which is the story of a Japanese boy in a concentration camp who has a Jewish pen pal. He was also a new-to-me author this year.

Eric Smith – I’ve seen Eric Smith on Twitter for quite a while, but Don’t Read the Comments was the first book I’ve read written by him.

Katerina King – Katerina is a friend of mine on Twitter and Malediction was her debut. There is supposed to be a second book in this series. Hopefully we’ll be able to see her second book at some point.

Rachael Allen – The Summer of Impossibilities is not Ms. Allen’s debut, but it’s the first book I’ve read by her. It’s a great book to read during the summer.

So there are a few new-to-me authors from this year! What did you choose to write about for Top Ten Tuesday’s 10th anniversary?

Next week we’re going to talk about books we’re anticipating in the future. I don’t know if I’ll limit my choices to the next six months or if I’ll go beyond that. It can be difficult for me to come up with ten books for the next six months.
