Hello! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @thatartsyreadergirl. This meme is about bringing the book blogging community together and fostering our love of lists. Each week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will create a list based on that prompt. This week our topic is New to Me Authors of 2020. Luckily, Goodreads has our reading challenges, and I went back and made my list based on that.
1- Emma Lord
Tweet Cute was one of my top ten reads of 2020. It was so
cute and so much fun. I loved Emma’s writing; and how she brought the
characters to life on the page.
2- Casey McQuiston
I was late on the Casey McQuiston train. I read Red, White,
and Royal Blue last year, and it was delightful. Her writing style is so much
fun, and the characters she creates are so sweet.
3- Jenny Lee
Anna K was a serious and fun read. I thought Jenny Lee had
the perfect balance of serious topics and light-hearted moments.
4- Marissa Meyer
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know I read The Lunar Chronicles last year. I don’t read a ton of Sci-Fi, but wow
this series was delightful. What I enjoy most about Marissa Meyer is that she
creates a world, a story with a fantastic plot, and characters you love.
5- Talia Hibbert
Get A Life, Chloe Brown was my foray into Adult Romance. The romance was sweet, and the characters were lovely.
6- Lilliam Rivera
Never Look Back was a retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice and
let me tell you I was sobbing while reading it. This was another book with
serious topics mixed with the fun of finding love for the first time. I went on
a journey with Pheus and Eury, and they were both so sweet.
7- Abbi Waxman
The Bookish Life of Nina Hill was so much fun! The book
dealt with family, and it had aspects of Found Family. I loved it because it
was fantastic characters and a plot that I fell in love with.
8- Ashley Elston
I finished 10 Blind Dates in like 2 weeks last
December. Oh, man, this book was just the light fluffy Holiday read. I felt like I was a part of Sophie’s family
right along with her, and part of that is a credit to how Ashley Elston
wrote the novel.
9- Christina Lauren
I read In A Holidaze last December, and I can totally see
why this author team has best sellers. The Groundhog Day-style plot can get
boring and receptive if they don’t write the story to keep the reader engaged.
I was engaged in this story from beginning to end. I know that this is two authors, but I kept them as one because they write as a team.
10- Ruta Sepetys
The Fountains of Silence is a book I still think about, and I
finished it a little less than a month ago. I loved it so much and this book
was severe, and while reading, I needed to
stop to take a break. Ruta Sepetys creates a beautiful story and a great cast of
characters.
Tweet Cute has been on so many lists this week.

DeleteI've read quite a few of these authors and am so glad you've enjoyed them. I still have to read those Talia Hibbert romances. And yes, the Lunar Chronicles were soooo good!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Natalie.
DeleteThe Bookish Life of Nina Hill was really charming. Loved reading your list!
ReplyDeleteI feel like that's an underrated book. I never seen it talked about, but I just loved it.

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Marianne.
DeleteOh my goodness, we share so many favorites! I also read Anna K and enjoyed it. I could have put Jenny Lee on my list, as well, but forgot about it. I LOVE The Lunar Chronicles. I've read it several times and need to do a reread again. ;) I also loved In a Holidaze, but it was my fourth book by Christina Lauren. I highly recommend The Unhoneymooners, but also The Honey-Don't List and Josh & Hazel's Guide to Not Dating. :)
