December 11: Top Ten Favorite New-To-Me Authors I Read In 2012
 |
| From Goodreads |
1. Laini Taylor- she is absolutely amazing, and I am very much looking forward to whatever she writes in the future, and I definitely plan on making her a auto-buy author.

2. Gillian Flynn- I had heard of her books before, but Gone Girl is the first novel I've read by her, and I can't wait to read her other books!

3. John Green- yup, this was the year I finally read a John Green book! I read An Abundance of Katherines, Will Grayson, Will Grayson and The Fault in Our Stars. It should be a no surprise that I'm a fan for life now!

4. Kendare Blake- She blew me away with Anna Dressed in Blood and Girl of Nightmares and I plan on reading anything she cares to churn out!

5. Gretchen McNeil- I met her at BEA and she was so nice and adorable. I really enjoyed Ten, but Possess was definitely one of my favorite reads of 2012. I am very much looking forward to her upcoming releases!

6. Karin Slaughter- I love a good thriller, but I read my first one from Slaughter (I got the audio of Criminal (Will Trent #7) at BEA) this year and I loved it. Criminal made me really appreciate being a woman born in the late 70's- if you want to know just how bad it sucked back in the day before women could have credit cards or rent apartments without their father's signature, then you just need to read how Will's boss Amanda started off in the police department.

7. Ernest Cline- Ready Player One is one of all time favorite reads of 2012, and I'm hoping his future books will be just as awesome.

8. Gail Carriger- wow, Soulless blew me away, and I'm very excited to continue the series.

9. Laura Moriarty- her book The Chaperone was one of my favorite reads this year too.

| From Goodreads |
10. Stephanie Perkins- I'm sorry I didn't read Anna and the French Kiss sooner, and I'm even sadder that I haven't read Lola and the Boy Next Door yet!
What are some of your favorite new authors?
Ah we have a few in common! I also had Kendare as I loved the Anna books, and it was also my first year reading John Green (although I only got to read TFIOS and part of AAOK).
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I forgot Gillian Flynn, I loved Gone Girl!
Great list :-D
Interesting list with some new-to-me authors :-) But I've read quite a few too, and loved their books - Blake, Cline and Laini Taylor (loved Daughter of Smoke & Bone to pieces)!

I have a feeling I'll have quite a few of yours on my list next year. I'm determined to read at least Laini Taylor, Stephanie Perkins and John Green.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten
I agree with so many of these, but I have one burning question: DUDE WHY HAVEN'T YOU READ PAPER TOWNS?
ReplyDeleteThis was the year I finally read a John Green book too. I've read Paper Towns and The Fault in Our Stars. He's amazing.
ReplyDeleteAnd Stephanie Perkins! Oh my gosh, I can't wait for Isla and the Happily Ever After.
Oooh, I see some familiar faces and some new ones.
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously, please make Paper Towns one of your New Years Resolutions.
Laini Taylor is an incredible writer! As is John Green, his book Looking for Alaska is amazing if you haven't read it! I also loved Anna and the French Kiss and I'm hoping to read some Gail Corriger next year!

John Green I was very impressed with, only read Fault in Stars and loved it, will read others for sure.
ReplyDeleteI have Laini T's debut to read, I look forward to that one.
A few others I am intrigued with but still on the fence.
I love thrillers so KarinS is a definite read but I haven't tried yet.
Gillian Flynn is addicting.
ReplyDeleteI still need to read Ernest Cline's Ready Player One. It is just sitting in my bookcase.
I enjoyed your list!
Great list! I've either read the authors books (and loved them as well) or I have their books on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy that John Green made your list along with some other faces that are familiar to me! Ready Player One is on my tbr list for 2013
