Top Ten Tuesday #79

Top Ten New-To-Me Favorite Authors I Read For
The First Time In 2015

In other words, basically every single book I ever read. Here's a thing you need to know about me. I don't binge read an author all at once, I like to take a break once a while. Plus, most of the titles I've read is due to recommendations from others, or the synopsis, or just a genre I like. To be honest, I rarely read a book because an author I know wrote it (though I think this may change next year, I've discovered so many good authors I wanted to stick with)

BUT LOOK AT ALL THE NEW FAVORITE AUTHORS I HAVE!

Wow, this past year has been a really good reading year, now that I think about it. There's some here that I didn't even expect to love! Like Red Rising, Magonia, and The Kiss of Deception!

I definitely urge you to check out all these authors
I discovered this year!

Under a Painted Sky is on my TBR for this month actually! I'm really excited about The Love that Split the World, everyone is saying it's amazing! I read most authors you've mentionned, Victoria Schwab is one of my favourite authors of all times in fact :) Great pick for this TTT, have a nice week!

I read a lot more new authors than I realized this year too, even though I did read some I had come to like over the past year or two! Yay for all the new authors we discovered!

Our reading styles are kind of opposite. I'm such a binge reader! And when I was younger I would almost exclusively read my favorite authors, and do a lot of rereading in between new releases. I've branched out a lot since than, but I still love to read and binge entire backlists of authors. Lots of books on your list that I've been meaning to read, but haven't gotten around to yet!

V.E. Schwab is also an author that has been new to me this year. Another one that I love is Renee Ahdieh with her book, The Wrath and the Dawn. Absolutely love that book and it's one of the best debuts I read this year.

AHH. Such great authors here Val! I absolutely adore Jessi Kirby, Robin Benway and Stacey Lee. Their books are all incredible and it just reflects on how amazing they are. <3 Thanks for sharing Val and, as always, fabulous post + choices! xx

I still need to read Emmy & Oliver, but I love Robin Benway's work! Jessi Kirby, too! Her debut, Audrey Wait!, is so GOOD. Stacey Lee's Under The Painted Sky was pretty phenomenal, too, and I so, so, SO need to grab a copy of The Love That Split The World, like, yesterday. Great list!

Thanks Peach! You should read Emmy & Oliver, it is super cute but also has a really important message to it. And do grab a copy of that! You will thank me later.
