Top Ten Tuesday is a thing where we get given a topic, and we have to list our ‘top ten’ things for the topic. Pretty self-explanatory.
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish
This Week’s Topic: Top Ten New-To-Me Favourite Authors I Read For The First Time In 2015
1. Rachael Craw
Guys, can you believe that I only read Spark THIS YEAR??
THIS YEAR, GUYS!!
2. Alexandra Bracken
And same with The Darkest Minds! Only this year? Seriously?
3. Derek Landy
Ahh, yes. If you’ve been following me for a while, you may have noticed that I read the entire Skulduggery Pleasant series this year. (And I talk about the experience here)
4. Ellie Marney
OH MY GOSH WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO READ EVERY BREATH???
Actually, I figured out why…it’s because NOBODY TOLD ME it was a Sherlock retelling.
You’re all fired.
5. Holly Black
Ok, not technically new to me this year…I tried reading Tithe last year, but I didn’t make it past the first couple of chapters. However, when Holly Black came to Aus, it was recommended to me that I try The Darkest Part of the Forest.
Which I did, and I loved it!
6. Laini Taylor
Daughter of Smoke and Bone was fabulous. I have no idea why I haven’t read the rest of the series yet…I own them all.
7. Jodi Meadows
Orphan Queen was FANTASTIC!! Seriously, absolutely loved it.
So, there’s only 7 authors on this list…there would have been more, except I specifically did not include authors who debuted this year.
Who was on your list?
WOW, it sounds like you had a good year for first-time authors! Rachael Craw and Ellie Marney are just fab, of course. And we have Derek Landy in common 😀
Ellie Marney – my love for her. Seriously the Every books are just fab!
Thanks for an awesome post
Ahhh this makes me happy because I just bought The Orphan Queen! *dances* 😀 and YAYYY for discovering Holly Black and Derek Landy! THEY ARE GENIUSES.
