Who are some of the new-to-you authors that you read this past year? Let me know in the comments below. This meme is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
I haven't successfully finished a Schwab book; I'm hoping Addie LaRue will change that! I still need to read Jill Shalvis!
ReplyDeleteI think you'll really like Addie. You'll have to let me know! Thanks for dropping by, Angela.
DeleteI just finished The Midnight Library soon and I really enjoyed it, too! You should check out his book How to Stop Time. That was my first Haig book, and it was lovely. :3 I absolutely LOVE Schwab, and I highly recommend her Vicious series, too!
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT post.
I loved Haig's writing style, so I will definitely have to check out more of his books. I really like him on Instagram as well. I will also have to check out Schwab's other novels; I'm glad to hear you liked her other series! Thanks for visiting, Sammie!
DeleteCeleste Ng is soo good. She tends to rip my heart into pieces, but I can't stop reading her books!
ReplyDeleteI was so impressed by her! I hope to read more in the future. Thanks for visiting, Joy!
DeleteDonovan's Word Jar sounds good.

My son and I read it this year and we really enjoyed it. If you love a story that illustrates the importance of words, you'll like this one. Thanks for visiting, Lydia!
DeleteI hope you enjoyed your reads! Stop by if you get a chance:

I loved A Series of Unfortunate Events when I was a kid, I used to borrow them every week from the library. VE Schwab is one of my favourite authors, so I'm super happy to see you enjoyed Addie. Matt Haig is new to me as well, I'm currently reading The Midnight Library.

DeleteJill Shalvis! She's one of my favorite first contemporary authors that I read. Great find!
ReplyDeleteYes! I can't wait to read more of her work in the future. Thanks for visiting, Deanna.

Yes! Addie was my first V.E. Schwab book--very impressed! Thanks for visiting, Emma!
DeleteI loved Orphan Train, and I've been looking at other books of hers (even though I haven't gotten to them yet), so I'm excited to see Christina Baker Kline on your list.
