It'll just be me (Lindsay) this week. Which is no problem whatsoever since I read SO many new authors this year. This is going to be easy. Too easy. And in no way will I be limiting my choices to 10. Shocking. And normally I add photos of their books, but alas, with 17 books on the list, plus you know, a 3 year old who thinks I should pay attention to him, I didn't feel like doing it this week. However, I did link to their twitter accounts when available, so there's that. :)

| Love the books. Smell the books. |
So here goes, (in no particular order):
1. Sarah J. Maas (@sjmaas) I love, love, love her Throne of Glass series. If you haven't started it yet, do it. NOW. Bonus points for her online story with Susan Dennard (@stdennard) The Starkillers Cycle.
2. Tahereh Mafi (@taherehmafi) I heart her. She's so quirky and I love her writing style. You should really follow her on twitter. And buy her new novella Fracture Me that comes out today.
3. Rae Carson (@raecarson). HECTOR!! I mean, you should read The Girl of Fire and Thorns series. Because HECTOR. The end.
4. Veronica Rossi (@rossibooks). I am anxiously awaiting the release of Into the Still Blue next month.
5. Leigh Bardugo (@LBardugo). STURMHOND. Need I say more?! Yes? I FREAKING LOVE this series. I need Ruin & Rising like now.
6. Rainbow Rowell (@rainbowrowell). Binge read all three books in 2 days. I like her books. Lots. See my review of Fangirl.

| I wish books would just magically appear on my bookshelves. |
7. Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner (@AmieKaufman & @MeaganSpooner) Uhh. you can read all of my gushing about their book here.
8. Diana Peterfreund (@dpeterfreund) I absolutely adore her adaptations of Persuasion and The Scarlet Pimpernel.
9. Stephanie Perkins (@naturallysteph) If you haven't read Anna and the French Kiss yet, you're really missing out. I even convinced my book club to read it soley so I could re-read it.
10. CJ Redwine (@CJRedwine) Rachel is one of my favorite heroines this year. So you should definitely check out Defiance.

| They're all cool books. |
11. Marissa Meyer (@marissa_meyer) Cause CYBORGS. Also, I NEED CRESS!!!!
12. Cynthia Hand (@CynthiaHand) Another binge read for me (I do this a lot). Loved her Unearthly series, and desperately wish it would continue.
13. Robin LaFevers (@RLLaFevers) Medieval female assassins? I'm in.
14. Tamora Pierce (http://www.tamorapierce.com/) I read the Alanna series soley based on Gillian's recommendation. Great story. Read all 4 books in about 3 days (see what I mean about binge reading? I have a problem)
15. Paul Rudnick (Goodreads profile) Gorgeous is up there with my favorite books this year. I should really, really do a review for it (thus giving me an excuse to read it again).
16. Sherry Thomas (@sherrythomas) The Burning Sky was a big surprise for me. I really enjoyed it.
17. AC Gaughen (@acgaughen) This was actually the first book I reviewed on this site. Can't wait for Lady Thief. Plus Scarlet + Rob = 4ever
Yeah. so 17 new authors I read this year (plus I know there's more. Several more). If you haven't read any of these authors, please check them out and give them a try!

Brilliant list. I definitely want to try some of these authors. I really loved These Broken Stars. I've lo ved Rainbow Rowell this year too.
ReplyDeleteUgh, Tahereh Mafi, her writing is gorgeous. And I also love Rainbow Rowell. I need to read a ton of these. Great list! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteRachel @ Beauty and the Bookshelf
Wow that's a lot of new authors!! Rainbow Rowell is very popular this week... and she made my list too :) I also love Stephanie Perkins and she was on my list last year! I can't wait for Isla!!

The only author of these I've read anything of is Rainbow Rowell, she's on my list, too. Throne of Glass has been on my TBR list for ages, though.

I really have to read Rae Carson's books, they've been on my list forever but I never seem to remember. And I agree about Veronica Rossi being amazing, I should have put her on my list, I can't wait for Into the Still Blue and to see what she does next!
ReplyDeleteUmmm, I super agree with this list. Except for a couple of exceptions, all of these authors are on my favorites list, the books having given me all the feels. *high fives* And I've actually read all of these authors but Tahereh Mafi and Stephanie Perkins!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! There are quite a few on here that I am still dying to read! Especially want to read Leigh Bardugo, Tahereh Mafi, Rainbow Rowell, Veronica Rossi, Marissa Meyer and quite a few more. I need to get to them all soon because they look amazing and I hear nothing but great things about them all :) My TTT
