Top Ten New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2021

I didn't think I read too many new authors last year, but after perusing through my Goodreads list, I discovered I read more than I thought. Woohoo! 








I'm really happy that I read more diverse authors last year. It really shows the growth in the book industry. More and more POC are becoming authors and telling their stories. I love it!

  1. Awesome list! I've only read The Flatshare, but a lot of these are on my TBR. I'm also reading more diversely. It's such an eye-opening experience for me.

    2. I'm so glad. :) I know that's a big deal for you and you should feel represented and so should your girls!

  2. I love this! :)) Glad that you discovered Jenny Han last year. She was one of my favorite contemporary YA authors in high school and I am looking forward to revisiting her books soon.

    1. Thanks! I think I would have appreciated Jenny Han more if I was younger, but I still enjoyed the books.

  3. I have not read any of the authors on your list--which means I have more books to explore! Yay! I have Chlorine Sky on my TBR pile and look forward to reading it. Jenny Han is an author I have been wanting to try and Beth O'Leary. Her name seems to be everywhere in the past couple of years. Thank you for sharing!

    1. Right!? Sourdough was so weird and good. I hope you enjoy Flatshare.

  8. I didn't even notice until after I made my list today that all the authors on there were white American women. Not very diverse! That's who usually writes the genres I like, but I do need to branch out a little...

    Happy TTT!
