 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.

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4254441.Cat_Patrick https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17190935-just-like-fate

Another author where I'm a little late to the party.  I found this book to be really well done, and made me think.
