Top Ten New-To-Me Authors I Read In 2013

December 17, 2013 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 5 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday 1

 

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Books On My Winter TBR but as it’s Summer in Australia It’s going to be Top Ten New-To-Me Authors I Read In 2013.

This week was actually pretty easy as I have read alot more books in 2013 than I have in a really long time. Which means in saying that I also read a fair few books from Authors that I haven’t read before. So here is 10 new to me authors that I read in 2013. (I have written reviews for most of them, so click on the image for the review)

 

1. Simone Elkeles – I have just read Perfect Chemistry by her but I adored it and cannot wait to read more of her books, especially the Perfect Chemistry companions.

Perfect Chemistry
2. John Green –  oh why did I wait so long to read books by John Green, I have no idea. This year I read The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska and adored them both to pieces. I always recommend some John Green when they are looking for something contemporary

3. Miranda Kennelly – Another one that I am angry with myself for waiting so long to read a book by, i just loved Catching Jordan it was brilliant and I plan to read the rest of her books through the summer.

4. Cassandra Clare – I really love Cassandra Clare, I have read most of TMI series and I really do like it. Her writing style is very different.

5. Kendare Blake – I only read Anna Dressed in Blood a few weeks ago but wow it is one amazing book. Her writing style, her imagination. My review for this will be coming in the the next few weeks.

6. Lauren Oliver – I have a love hate relationship with Lauren Oliver I love some of her books then I really dislike some of them. I have only read Delirium and Pandemonium; I love one, I dislike one.

7. Rachel Harris – I received an ARC of Seven Day Fiancé’ and I adored it to pieces which is wired as it’s an Adult book, and I am normally an YA girl.

8. Sarah Dessen –  I have only read Just Listen by Sarah but I really enjoyed it, she was one of the first contemporary authors that I read and I really want to read more.

9. Aimee Carter – I was very lucky to receive an ARC of her latest novel Pawn and I adored it too bits.  I have also wanted to read her her Goddess Test books for quite a while now, hopefully in 2014 I will be able to.

10. Julia Crane – I got a Copy of Her Novel Freak of Nature from Net Gallery and I really enjoyed it. It was different from what i have read before and I quite enjoyed her writing

So that’s my Top Ten New-To-Me Authors that I read in 2013. What about you?

    John Green made my list too! I read TFiOS in January and he is now one of may favorite authors. Including him was the most obvious thing I’ve ever done. Lauren Oliver is great too – I cannot wait to read Panic and I hope that if you read it as well, it falls on the “love” side of your spectrum for the author. I hope 2014 brings you as many great new authors as 2013 did!

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!
