Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week is a freebie, so I decided to spotlight authors I read for the first time in 2019. I have my favorite authors that I tend to read a lot, but I'm always interested in trying authors that other bloggers are raving about. Here are some new-to-me authors I finally read in 2019!
What author did you read for the first time in 2019?
I love Tracey Garvis Graves. I read On the Island back in 2012 and absolutely fell in love with it. And now 7 years later another of her books, The Girl I Used to Know, is one of my favorites of the year. I've only read one by Jenn Bennett so far but definitely want to read more. And Christina Lauren are so, so good. This year's Twice in a Blue Moon wasn't my favorite by them, but there are several others that I really loved: Autoboyography, Love and Other Words, The Unhoneymooners, Josh & Hazel's Guide to Not Dating. Love them! ♥
ReplyDeleteI think I bought On the Island this year! Looking forward to it! I need to get to more of the Christina Lauren backlist.
DeleteGreat list! I've heard so many good things about The Unhoneymooners this year, I need to give it a try at some point.
ReplyDeleteIt was a really fun read!
DeleteSo glad you met L. M. Montgomery this year!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you met L. M. Montgomery this year!
ReplyDeleteI need to read Anne of Green Gables. That’s one of those classics that I somehow missed.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Me, too! But it was so charming, I'm glad I finally read it!
DeleteAh I love Riley's Sager's books! I just finished "Last Time I Lied" and it was so good.
ReplyDeleteI still need to read that one!
DeleteSo many great ones! I want to read more from Tracy Garvis Graves!
ReplyDeleteMe, too!
DeleteYou've mentioned two of my favourite authors, Christina Lauren and Marie Lu, and I'm glad you picked up their books this year! I read Alexa Martin's works for the first time this year, and I'm glad to have found her.
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT this week :)

It was so charming, I just bought a copy for my personal library!
DeleteMarie Lu was a new author for me this year as well. She's great. :)
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
I need to read more from her!
DeleteOh wow, you DID pick up a bunch of big names. Special welcome to the Garvis-Graves, Christina Lauren and L.M. Montgomery readership club. I really should add Kasie West one of these days....do you think that was a good one to start with?
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI'll be honest, Maybe This Time wasn't my favorite read, but she has a lot to choose from!
I feel in love with Henry this year too! Now I can get enough of her! :) The Mermaid and the girl in red were fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to read The Girl in Red!
DeleteYou won the new to me author lottery with this post! I adore Kasie West, Christina Lauren, Jenn Bennett, Sandy Hall, and Tracey Garvis Graves.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
Haha, I think so, too!
DeleteI read 7 of these books, and six are by authors I have read multiple books from. West, Bennett, CLo, and Lu are all auto-reads for me. I am still working my way through Hall's backlist, but I enjoy her humor.
ReplyDeleteYes, Hall's books have been very cute, and I think Christina Lauren is going to become an auto-read for me, too!
DeleteThis is a great list of authors. I really like Riley Sager, Christina Lauren, Jenn Bennett, Marie Lu, Tracey Garvis Graves, and Christina Henry. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I finally tried these authors!
DeleteI just bought The Girl He Used to Know! So many of my blogger buddies have raved about it! The Unhoneymooners was fun. The Bathroom of Doom!! Hahaha! Starry Eyes and Jenn Bennett are fantastic. Jenn Bennett is my JAM! You should try The Lady Rogue! I think it's something you'd enjoy, since you like historical elements. It's about Vlad!
ReplyDeleteLindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? ☃💬
Yes, I definitely want to read The Lady Rogue! I hope you love The Girl He Used to Know, it's one of my favorites of the year!
DeleteI'm so, so happy you finally read some of Jenn Bennett's work, she is one of my favorite contemporary writers for sure! I really need to read some of Kasie West's books, too, I've heard great things about all of her books :)
ReplyDeleteI really want to read more from Jenn Bennett!
DeleteI love this! Riley Sager has quickly become one of my favorites! :)
ReplyDeleteI need to read more from him!
DeleteAll of these, save for Riley Sager, are all new to me too -- and can I say how utterly adorable the cover for A Prom to Remember is
ReplyDeleteThe story was just as cute!
