I love discovering new-to-me authors and 2021 was the year for it. I read so many new authors this year and it was just fantastic. There were a lot of reasons why I read so many new-to-me authors this year, but mainly TikTok was the drive.
Some of these authors I’ve only read one book and some I’ve read nearly their whole backlist. I have this bad habit that if a series is completed I will most likely finish it in a few days/weeks depending on the series. Espeically if it’s on Kindle Unlimited. As most of the year has gone by, pretty much all of these authors write romance. but I love it.
Anyway, let’s get right into it. Here are some of the authors that I discovered in 2021 that were new to me. As always these are in no order.
Ali Hazelwood: I just finished The Love Hypothesis recently and adored it, so I’m so ready to read more from Ali Hazelwood. I can’t keep this one in-store at all, I sold out the weekend I got it in.
Kathryn Moon: I think Kathryn Moon has become one of my favourite authors and I cannot wait till I can read more from her. Lola and the Millionaires is one of my favourite books that I have read this year and I seriously want more people to read them.
Dana Isaly: Another author that I discovered because of Tiktok, that I have come to really enjoy. Very steamy, dark and a little taboo. Dana’s books are great to just read and escape.
Sophie Lark: I just started to read Sophie Lark recently, but I have enjoyed each book I’ve read so far. I’ve read all the Brutal Birthright series, as well as the first two in the Kingmakers series. I’m really excited to keep on reading more.
Candace Robinson and Amber R. Duell: I discovered this duo via Ely and let me tell you I love their Faries of Oz series so much. If you like fae as well as the Wizard of Oz, pick this series up.
Scarlett St. Clair: I have read a few books now from Scarlett St. Clair and I have enjoyed them all. I know they are not for everyone, but if you like darker romances with vampires then her newest release is for you!
R.M. Virtues: This author has been on my list for a little while now but finally got to reading Drag Me Up, and I really enjoyed it a lot. So I am really looking forward to reading more and more from them.
Tate James: I went through 2 series of Tates this year and I plan to read more next year. I love the grittiness of her romances. They aren’t clean, they are sharp and tangles and it’s great.
And there we go, those are some of the new-to-me authors that I read in 2021. Have you read any of these authors? What did you think? Are you planning too? Let’s chat!
