I’ve been a little absent lately, because I barely finished any book. I was hoping to have finished Onyx Storm by now, but I was so lost and confused that I have to reread the entire series from the start. At the moment I’m rereading Iron Flame, so I hope to be reading something new again very soon. So, i barely have blog content to share. I also forgot today is Tuesday, so that’s why my Top Ten Tuesday Post is so late! Today, I’ll be listing several new-to-me authors I have read in 2024. This was my romance year, so naturally you’ll find many romance authors in this post.

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.

1. Elsie Silver – My first new-to-me author of the year and I’ve read one more book by her. I’m planning on reading the rest of the “Chestnut Springs” series as well.
2. Lauren Asher – Another romance author I’ve heard lots about. I’ve read The Fine Print, but nothing else yet.
3. Lyla Sage – Let’s stay in our small town romance vibes one more time, because I also read Done and Dusted by this author. I’m planning on reading more to give this author a fair chance, to be continued!
4. Tarah DeWitt – Many bloggers seem to love this author, but my first impression was not so great.
5. Melissa K. Roehrich – I read the entire “Lady of Darkness” series almost back to back last year and I’m definitely planning on reading more.
6. Caroline James – I enjoyed The French Cookery School, but it was more of a palate cleanser and I’m not sure if I want to read more by this author.
7. Colleen French – I enjoyed The Summer Daughter, but it again was a palate cleanser for me.
8. Rachel Gillig – I’ve read the “Shepherd King “ duology because of the hype and although I had a good time, I wasn’t the biggest fan. I’m therefore not sure whether I will be reading this author’s next release.
9. Fonda Lee – I finally read “The Green Bone Saga” and am keen on reading more.
10. Xiran Jay Zhao – Iron Widow was an unexpected surprise and I’m definitely planning on reading Heavenly Tyrant as soon as possible.

Which new-to-me authors have you read before?
