The topic for this Tuesday is Top 10 new-to-me authors I read for the first time in 2016... I'm glad to say I read a lot of new authors this year! I'm gonna share the top 10 new-to-me fantasy and science fiction authors with you. Hope you check the authors and their books out!
I read Jay Kristoff for the first time when I read Nevernight and ABSOLUTELY LOVED the book and his writing! I will soon be picking up Illuminae with really HIGH expectations! ☺
Anna Dressed in Blood was the first Kendare Blake book I read this year as part of a Halloween Read-A-Thon. While I had some small issues with the story, I loved the writing. Three Dark Crowns is an absolute favourite for me despite a couple of flaws.
Yes people I've read S J Mass for the first time this year and yes Throne of Glass is the only book of hers I've read; before you start throwing rotten eggs at me, let me explain. I never pick up a book because of hype. I'm always scared of being disappointed. That's why ToG was on my TBR for a long time... until I met Diana from Book Reviews by Di who convinced me to pick it up and I'm SUPER GLAD she did!! ToG is now a favourite. Will soon be reading the rest of the series :)
I read A Monster Calls upon recommendation by a really amazing Goodreads friend. I absolutely adore the story because it's so beautiful, dark and poignant. Will definitely be checking out his other books.
I received Glimmer, Book one of The Black Swan Files from NetGalley and SIMPLY LOVED IT!! Amazing plot, engaging characters and great writing!! Recently the author provided me with the an unedited ARC of Glisten, Book two of The Black Swan Files to read and review. Glisten too was AMAZING and I'm so glad I discovered such an amazing author. Do check out the books!
Two months ago author Sreejib sent me her first book Aqson Level 1 to read and review and I'm so GLAD she did so! The book is so unique and humorous and I LOVED it! A very different kind of Urban Fantasy that people need to check out.
I read these two book by author C.L. Rozelle just a couple of days back and really loved them! They are a unique dystopian series that I'd recommend for all dystopian lovers. It has a unique plot and such interesting and relatable characters. Her writing is also beautiful and immersive!
This was my first NetGalley read and it was awesome! I absolutely loved the fast paced writing. Anna Kopp writes vivid descriptions that really capture the readers; minds. If you like zombies but are looking for something different about them, check out this book!
I.A. Ashcroft writes with such suspense you can't help but be sucked into the story. Raven Song had me from the start and has such an interesting premise. Will be looking out for the sequel!
When I read the blurb of the book, I was intrigued due to the Indian connect. Dark Things is the author's first book but is so beautifully written and has thses amazing twists. While Dark Things is a standalone novel, I'll be on the lookout for more books by the author.
