Top Ten New-To-Me Authors I Read In 2014
This one is hard because I got way behind on my reading this past year. I read less then half of what I read in 2013, and I'm blaming the baby. Here are the new to me authors that I did read.

Love, Love, Loved this book. The picture is after I read the book and totally fan-girled him at ALA last summer. Not only is the book amazing, but he's pretty great too.
 |
 |
I was unsure about reading this book at first, but it turned out to be so much better than I expected. I thought it was engaging and thoughtful.
 |
 |
I don't read much books written in verse, but I should probably read more of them, because those that I have read are beautiful. This one is no exception.
 |
 |
Took me FOREVER to read this book. I really felt like I was one of the only people in America who hadn't read it. It was pretty amazing.
 |
 |
Another author I am ashamed I hadn't read before this year. I've been meaning to read Anna Dressed in Blood for forever, and I will get to it eventually, but in the meantime, I really enjoyed this one.
 |
 |
I loved this book, it was so beautifully written. The characters and the story were so memorable. I look forward to reading so many more books from her in the future.
 |
 |
A nice twist on the genre, it was well written and kept me entertained. I found the characters to be likable, and the author is pretty unafraid of angering readers by tossing in an unexpected twist, so I actually find that to be refreshing.
 |
 |
This one was very reminiscent of Before I Fall, but it had a interesting difference. I thought it was really well done.
 |
 |
Yes it's another dystopian, but I found it to be a good twist on it. I look forward to the next book to see how the story plays out.

 |
Another author where I'm a little late to the party. I found this book to be really well done, and made me think.
OOoh nice! The only one I know/read is Kendare Blake! Love her books! Her Anna books were really good! Hope you get to those soon too! Great picks!

Great list! I've been hearing great things about Jason Reynolds, and have bumped him up my to-read list. Here's my TTT. Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteSo many of these authors I need to try. Yay for Heather Demetrios!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Heather Demetrios for sure. I was on the fence, but after I read I'll Meet You There, I am a fan for sure. I ordered Something Real, and cannot wait to read it! And I am currently reading Landry Park! I still haven't read The Book Thief (I know, I know) so you aren't the LAST person in America, only like, the bottom 3 ;)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked My Last Kiss too, I have that one and am looking forward to reading it. Oh, and Just Like Fate! I have that one too. Great list!
