Top Five Tuesday – New-To-Me Authors!

Posted on

Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme created by Shanah @the Bionic Bookworm and is now being hosted by Meeghan @Meeghan Reads!

This weeks topic is New Authors! So I’m going to list 5 New-to-me Authors that I found this year! So while making this list I realized that there are actually a lot of new-to-me authors that I read from this year! Which is good, but that made making this list very hard.. I now have a list of 10 authors that really stood out to me!

  1. Sabaa Tahir – How could she not be on here.. I’m a huge fan of her An Ember in the Ashes series, and cannot wait for the last book to release soon!
  2. Riley Sager – So far I’ve only read his Lock Every Door, but I loved it so much! I need to read more of his works!
  3. Mark Lawrence – Only read his Red Sister series, but that was so good, and I’m very excited to read more of his works!
  4. Daphne DuMaurier – This is really a surprising one to be on this list! Since Rebecca is quite outside of my normal reading taste, but I loved it!
  5. Christina Henry – I was a bit dubious about putting her on this list since I loved The Girl in Red, but was not a big fan of Alice. But I’m still very excited to try more of her work!
  6. Ruth Ware – Only read The Turn of the Key, but it took me by surprise and I’m excited to read more!
  7. SA Chakraborty – I fell in love with her The City of Brass! I need to read the conclusion soon!
  8. James Tynion IV – I read `Something is Killing the Children vol. 1` and `The Woods vol. 1`, and absolutely loved both! Really need to continue with both series!
  9. Robert Jordan – I mean it is no secret that I absolutely love what I’ve read of The Wheel of Time so far!
  10. Silvia Garcia-Moreno – I absolutely fell in love with Gods of Jade and Shadow and Mexican Gothic! I need to read some of her backlist!

What are some new-to-you authors for you from this year?

  1. Great list! I think one of my next reads will be a Sabaa Tahir book. So I can catch up with the rest of the reading world once the last book comes out. The Girl in Red looks good too.

  3. Yes to Sabaa!!!! There are so many others on your list that I have on my TBR though *hides in shame*.
    I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had read 29 new-to-me authors this year though!!

    1. Same for me! I thought I would just list them all, but then the list became so long! Which is a good thing I guess!

    2. I was surprised when I readRebecca that I enjoyed it. I did buy a couple more Daphne D M when I saw them in a charity shop but unfortunately I could not get into the first of the two I tired:( Still think Rebecca great, and would like to see the film however England is closing all cinemas tomorrow and restaurants, non essential shops, gyms …lol

      1. I was also surprised!
        Sad to hear the others you’ve tried did not work for you!
        The movie of Rebecca is actually on Netflix!
        Cinemans etc are closed here as well…
