Top 10 of 2018: New-To-Me Authors


I thought I wouldn't be able to come up with ten authors for this prompt, assuming that I had mostly stuck with my tried and true favorites this year (a lot of Jennifer Armentrout and Sarina Bowen). Color me surprised when I realized that I had actually read TWENTY new-to-me authors over the course of the year! Some were hits, some were misses (I'm not including those LOL), some I consider new favorites. So here are my top 10 new-to-me authors of 2018 and the book(s) I read.

  6. One of the best things that happened to me was finding Jenn Bennett. I adore her books! Helen Hoang and Josie Silver are two I am dying to read more from. Their books was ah-mazing. CLo wasn't new to me, but wow! All their 2018 releases were winners.

    1. After just two books Christina Lauren has become a favorite. And I know I'll read more from Kandi Steiner. There were so many books I meant to get to this year that just didn't happen.
