Top Ten Tuesday: New to Me Authors in 2013


Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.

Top Ten New to Me Authors I Read this Year

Walter Jury & S.E. Fine: They co-wrote SCAN due out May 2014. Scan is science fiction at its finest, great team work behind the book. 

Morgan Rhodes: Not sure why it took me so long to finally read Falling Kingdoms but I'm glad I had Rebel Spring in hand to read back to back. LOVED!!!

Heidi McLaughlin: Started with Lost in You and now Ive read a couple of McLaughlin's books such as My Unexpected Forever. Great writer. 

Samantha Shannon: It took me a few tries to get into the book, but when I came back to it and started from the beginning again with a clear mind, I was SOLD on The Bone Season.

Jennifer Miller: Pretty Little Lies was a much needed HEA read and I loved Miller's writing especially how she began each chapters, Awesome touch!

Sarah Crossan: Breathe is one of those books that pops into your head time after time long after you finished reading it. 

Shannon Messenger: I am thrilled I did pick up Let the Sky Fall, its such a unique concept Messenger wrote that I fell in love with. 

Rick Yancey: The 5th Wave was amazeballs, had me at the edge of my seat the whole time. 

Zoraida Córdova: Love me a great story based in the sea with all sorts of sea creatures such as Mermaids with razor-sharp teeth. Córdova won herself a fan with The Vicious Deep.

Abigail Gibbs: Her story started off on Wattpad and now is a published book that has turned series, Can't wait to sink my teeth into The Dark Heroine's sequel Autumn Rose.

  2. Great list! I am glad you listed Morgan Rhodes. I love her YA Nightwatchers series (Michelle Rowan, same person). I've heard good things about the 5th wave too. Can't wait to read that.

  6. I really enjoyed Let the Sky Fall and The 5th Wave this year too. Shannon and Rick JUST missed out on my list. I didn't hear about Falling Kingdoms until recently, but everybody's been talking about it lately so I guess Morgan is going on my 2014 tbr!
