This week the topic is 

New-to-Me Authors I Read in 2020

 

 I read quite a few books by new-to-me authors in 2020, so here are my ten picks . . . 

 

 

1. Margaret Rogerson

(Sorcery of Thorns)

This was one of my favourite reads of 2020 and I definitely want to read more books by the author.

2. Alix E. Harrow

(The Ten Thousand Doors of January)

3. H.G. Parry

(The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep)

I really enjoyed this one and liked that it's set in New Zealand, which was where I was when I read it.

4. June Hur

(The Silence of Bones)

I really liked the mystery element and the setting of 1800s Korea (then Joseon).

5. Beth O'Leary

 (The Flatshare)

Contemporary novels are hit or miss for me, but I really enjoyed this. I especially liked the mentions of crochet as I started crocheting last year. The romance was lovely and I liked both Tiffy and Leon.

6. Kester Grant

(The Court of Miracles (A Court of Miracles, #1))

 This was an interesting take on Les Mis and I really liked the themes of family and friendship.

7. Erin Morgenstern

(The Night Circus)

I had been putting off reading this for so long because of the hype, but I finally got to it in 2020. While I did enjoy this I wasn't blown away, but I am interested in reading more by the author.

8. Christina Lauren

(Autoboyography)

This is another book that had been on my TBR for a long time. I have mixed feelings about this book - I liked the diversity and Tanner's relationship with his parents, but I was not a fan of the romance and there wasn't much plot.

9. Sherry Thomas

(The Magnolia Sword: A Ballad of Mulan)

I wasn't sure what to expect from this, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. I liked the politics, history, representation and themes in this.

10. Leah Johnson

(You Should See Me in a Crown)

I listened to the audiobook for this and enjoyed it. I would definitely read more books by the author.
