Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week topic is: Top Ten Favorite New-To-Me Authors I Read In 2012.
1. Jennifer L. Armentrout: JLA has definitely become one of my all time favourite authors. I love all her books, and her upcoming books are my most anticipated books. I love her writing, her characters, her stories. Everything. And I've kind of been obsessing about her ever since I read Obsidian, which was the first book I read by her. And that has remained my favourite book.
2. Stephanie Perkins: After reading Anna and the French kiss Ms. Perkins easily entered my favourite authors list. I'm so glad I discovered her this year, though I still can't believe I hadn't done it earlier. Anyway, I loved Anna and how Perkins made the story come alive and the characters seem so real. But what I loved most was how insanely giddy this book made me - it made me smile all the time, even when I wasn't reading it. I can't wait to read her companion novel, Lola and the Boy Next Door, and any other of her books to come.
3. Elizabeth Norris: I was very impressed by Norris and her debut novel Unravelling. Her writing is amazing, and I almost couldn't believe that she has only written one book! And she is one of the few authors who has accomplished to really surprise me with the plot in her book. I was guessing and second guessing all the way through the book, and when everything was revealed I was like: whoaa! I can't wait to read the sequel, Unbreakable.
4. Deborah Harkness: I really liked Harkness' take on vampires and witches in The All Souls trilogy, it was new and different, and very interesting. Also, Harkness has a way of discribing that made it easy to imagine everthing. Like you were watching a movie instead of reading a book. I'm eagerly awaiting her last book in the trilogy.
Well, that's it. Huh. I would have expected more authors on the list. I guess I haven't read that many book by new-to-me authors.

Interesting list with some new-to-me authors :-) But I've read and loved A Discovery of Withces by Harkness.

Jennifer L. Armentrout has popped up on a lot of Tuesday lists. I'm thinking I need to check this author out.
ReplyDeleteI love Deborah Harkness, she writes so well and I love how she portrays vampires.
It was also hard for me to see if I had read 10 new-to-me author's books this year. I tend to stick to authors I know I like already.
Here is my list http://itisabooklife.blogspot.com/2012/12/top-ten-tuesday-2-top-ten-favorite-new.html
She's really great, I don't think you'll be dissapointed.
DeleteYeah, me too, I don't read that many books by authors that are new to me, unless the books sounds really good.
Thanks for stopping by :)
