Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week we talk about our top ten with a different topic provided by Jana. This week’s topic is ten authors that I haven’t read but would like to.
Jenn Lyons I have the first four books in the Chorus of Dragons series and I really want to read them this year.
Emily Tesh I have Silver in the Wood as an ebook. I am eager to read it and I’m also very much looking forward to her 2023 novel, Some Desperate Glory.
Alexandria Bellefleur I’ve heard great things about her Written in the Stars series. I’ve been on the lookout for new romance. So, I have added this author to my collection.
C.J. Tudor On a trip to Barnes & Nobel, I found The Burning Girls. I almost bought it but added it to my library TBR instead. I’ve since seen some good reviews for Tudor’s other books as well and I’d like to try the audiobooks sometime soon.
Martha Wells I want to read the Murderbot Diaries so badly.
Octavia E. Butler I bought Parable of the Sower last year. It’s definitely higher up on my TBR list.
Robin Hobb I don’t know that I’ll actually read Hobb any time soon, but I do want to eventually try some of her fantasy stories.
Mariana Zapata Target compelled me to buy some books from them and I found From Lukov with Love while browsing. I’ve seen great reviews for Zapata’s books.
Nina Varela I want to read Crier’s War and its sequel. I have the ebook and I’m pretty sure my library has the sequel.
Ann Leckie I really want to take some time to read some older science fiction like Ancillary Justice.

This week’s topic is ten new to me authors I read in 2021. We did a post for this topic for Blogmas which you can find here, so I’m going to share 10 new to me authors I read in 2021 that I won’t be reading again.
A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine I just didn’t love this. I don’t plan to continue the series.
Axiom’s End by Lindsey Ellis This had the potential to be right up my alley. But the second book was worse than the first and I don’t see myself reading more of Ellis’ books in the future.
The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave I didn’t love how the story played out. This was a book club pick, so I have other mystery/thriller authors that I’ll continue to seek out instead in the future.
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng I genuinely didn’t like this book.
The Graces by Laure Eve I couldn’t put this series down, but in a ‘staring at a car accident’ as you pass by kind of way.
Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson Another book club pick that I didn’t love. The parents were all horrible.
Where the Forest Meets the Stars by Glendy Vanderah One last book club choice that I didn’t care for. I wanted this to actually be about aliens, but it wasn’t.
So, I’ll never say never, but these are the authors I read for the first time in 2021 that I don’t forsee myself seeking out again in the future. What authors did you have on your list this week?
Hello, bookworms! The last few years we’ve shared authors that we’ve read for the first time in that year and we’ve really enjoyed that. It’s fun to look back and see which authors we loved that were brand new to us this past year. So, this year we will be doing it again. Some of these are debut novels, but we’re going to be making a whole different post for 2021 debut authors, so if there are debut novels on here, they’re backlist titles.

Another day, another bookish list. Today’s list is going to talk about the books we’ve read this year written by authors that are new to us. We’ve read a fair bit of books by authors we’ve never read before. This list is going to include new authors that we liked and plan to read more of their writing.
