Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten New-To-Me Authors in 2015

(As always, Top Ten Tuesdays are hosted by The Broke and the Bookish )

1.  Jessica Knoll; Luckiest Girl Alive is one of my favorite reads of the year, and one of my favorite reads ever. 

 

2. Paula Hawkins; To me, The Girl on the Train more than loved up to its hype, and I got to meet Paula Hawkins at ALA and have her sign my book, which was a definite bonus.

3. Graeme Simsion; I loved The Rosie Project, and plan to pick up The Rosie Effect sometime in the near future.

4. Amy Butcher; I've raved about her book Visiting Hours on my blog quite a bit. Needless to say, I cannot wait to read what she writes next.

5. Jon Krakauer; Believe it or not, I had never read any of his books before this year.

6. Kate Bolick; Her book Spinster is a must-read as far as I'm concerned. It really spoke to me.

7. Susan Cain; Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking is a book that meant so much to me, and came at a time in my life when I really needed it.

8. Jon Ronson; After reading The Psychopath Test, I immediately put the rest of his books on my wishlist. He is one of my new favorite non-fiction authors.

9. Erin Morgenstern; The Night Circus is another one of my favorite reads of the year, and another one of my all-time favorite reads.

10. Christopher J. Yates; Black Chalk is another book I have raved about on this blog before. I can't wait to read more of his works.
