Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week the theme is New to Me Authors in 2021!
Maggie Christensen - I read 6 books by Maggie Christensen last year, 5 of which were part of her Granite Springs series featuring older protaganists who live in the university town of Granite Springs falling in love. I need to get back to that series. I do have another of her books up soon to read.
Martha Wells - I am not really a sci-fi reader, but I really, really enjoyed the first three Murderbot books. Must read the fourth book.
Meredith Jaffe - One of my 5/5 books last year was The Dressmakers of Yarrandarrah Prison. So good! My review is here.
Kelly Rimmer - Another 5/5 read. I really need to get back to her books.
Karen Swan - Bree from All the Books I Can Read absolutely loves this author. We mostly have similar reading tastes, but there are some notable exceptions. Fortunatey, Karen Swan is not one of them.
Heather Webber - I read two of Heather Webber's books last year. If you like magical realism, the American South and some tasty sounding food then this may be the author for you.
Lucy Parker - I can't really believe I haven't read Lucy Parker before. I loved Battle Royal and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
Helen Hoang - I know I should have read Helen Hoang before, but I hadn't. I have now.
Micaiah Johnson - Another science fiction read. This one came highly recommended by several blogger friends.
Kristin Harmel - Kristin Harmel is one of those authors I knew I would like when I finally got to read her. And I did!
Have you read any of these authors?
I keep meaning to read Helen Hoang. I'm glad to see that you enjoyed her writing so much.
ReplyDeleteI did! I really need to read then next book Deb!
DeleteI enjoyed the one book I've read by Rimmer. I need to read more from her. I even have a copy of THE WARSAW ORPHAN sitting on my bookshelf—I just need to actually read it!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I hope you enjoy it when you do read it Susan!
DeleteI really want to give Martha Wells a try. And Helen Hoang is another author on my to read list. Thank you for sharing!

ReplyDeleteFor good reasons Stefani!
DeleteSo many good choices! I still cant believe I never forced Lucy Parker on you before haha. I think you'll really enjoy the London Celebrities series. Also I really enjoy Kelly Rimmer although I haven't read the one you have here and Helen Hoang is amazing.

I really enjoyed it Pam!
DeleteEveryone loves Murderbot! I'm always so happy to see others declaring their love, especially when they're not usually SF readers!
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely me Jeanne!
DeleteI keep seeing posts about the Murderbot series and went to Goodreads to mark it as "Want to Read," only to discover that I already did that three years ago. Guess it's time to move it to my TBR pile!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely time Les!
