Hi! Jana hosts Top Ten Tuesday @thatartsyreadergirl. This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a prompt, and we readers will write out a list as a response. We also have the option of doing our own thing. This week, our topic is New to Me Authors of 2021. Note: I didn’t count debuts I read as a part of this prompt.
1- Katie Henry
This Will Be Funny Someday was one of my favorite reads of the year. I was surprised by how much I loved it.
2- V.E. Schwab
I read two books by V.E. Schwab last year, I really enjoyed Addie LaRue.
3- Eric Smith
Don’t Read the Comments was a book I picked out on a whim to clear out some of my kindle TBR. I just loved this book so much.
4- Sophie Gonzales
Perfect On Paper was one of my favorite books of 2021. The story had so much heart and I loved all the characters.
5- Crystal Maldonado
Fat Chance, Charlie Vega was another novel that took me by surprise last year. This is another story with a lot of heart and amazing characters.
6- Angie Thomas
I read two books by Angie Thomas last year, and I believe she’s one of the best authors in the YA genre. I loved both The Hate U Give and On The Come Up.
7- Chanel Cleeton
I’ve talked about this many times, but I really loved the Historical Fiction this author writes. The stories are interesting, and I love all the characters.
8- Aiden Thomas
Last year was the year I read Cemetery Boys. That book filled me with all the feels, and I had all the emotions while reading that book.
9- Elizabeth Acevedo
I read two books by Elizabeth Acevedo last year as well. With The Fire On High was my favorite, however; I also really enjoyed Clap When You Land.
10- Rachel Lynn Solomon
Today Tonight Tomorrow was almost on my list of top reads last year. I loved this YA Romance, and it was so well done.

I haven’t read any of these authors, sadly, but the last one you mentioned sounds very familiar, I think I’ve heard good things about a boo of hers. 🙂
