This week's topic is:
Top 10 New to Me Authors I Read in 2018!
1. Rebecca Barrow: I LOVED This is What It Feels Like and I began kicking myself for not reading her debut almost instantly.
2. Renee Watson: I finally read Piecing Me Together last year and again I was kicking myself for letting it sit on my bookshelf unread. It was so real and so good and now I can't wait to read everything else by her!
3. Alexa Martin: Her book Intercepted came out last year at the beginning of football season and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. I can't wait for the next one, Fumbled, which comes out in April!
4. J.C. Cervantes: I mean did you read The Storm Runner?! It was awesome and I loved being able to put our
Texas Lonestar sticker on it in my library! Can't wait for more kids to read it!
5. Courtney Summers: Although I had so many of her books on my TBR, I had never read one by her until Sadie. And because I loved that one so much, I added the rest of her books to my TBR lol
6. Zoraida Córdova: See #5 but replace Sadie with Labyrinth Lost and Bruja Born!
7. Tiffany D. Jackson: See #5 & #6 and replace those titles with Monday's Not Coming!
8. Tomi Adeyemi: I wasn't sure if this counted because she was a debut author at the time, butttttt I'm going to make it count anyways! I LOVED CBB and I will defend it at all costs. I loved see a Black lead in a fantasy novel and I loved seeing that it was written and sprinkled with Black Girl Magic. I even book pushed it to my mom who loved it too!
9. Maureen Johnson: See #5, 6, & 7 but replace those titles with Truly Devious.
10. Sarah Glenn Marsh: I really loved the first one and I can't wait to see what else she has in the second book!
