This Week's Topic is:

     Top Ten New-to-me Authors we read of 2012     

J.L. Bryan

J.L. Bryan

(Author of the Paranormal series)

Katie : I am so happy to have been introduced to J.L. Bryan this year. the Paranormal series has been the best series , and probably the fastest series i have read though in a while! .  i have thoroughly enjoyed every one of the Paranormal books! 

Krisha: Ditto to what Katie said.  Make sure you check out our reviews for the first to books in the series.  It'll explain why we love the series so much.  And be on the look out for a video review for book 3.

Marissa Meyer

Marissa Meyer

(Author of the Lunar Chronicles)

Katie: I have only read book one in the Lunar Chronicles series (Cinder) but i am supper impressed and sooo excited to read the rest of the book to come! 

Jennifer L. Armentrout

Jennifer L. Armentrout 

(author of the Covenant series)

Katie: This year i read Half-Blood and Pure so far, and i also hear amazing things about her Lux series. can't wait to read more of her books! Not to mention that i LOVE the fact that she is a West Virginian ! I just moved from good ole WV!  

Lauren Oliver

Lauren Oliver

(author of the Delirium series)

Katie: I just put down Pandemonium , needless to day i am a new Lauren Oliver Fan, and i can't wait to read Requiem next year! 


James Dashner 

James Dashner

(author of the Maze Runner series)

Krisha: I read through these books so fast because they were so dang unpredictable.  This is not one of my favorite series because I kept saying "Whaaaaat?!?!" or "Are you freakin' serious???".  It was a stressful read but glad to have things changed up with a male author AND male pov.

Katie: The Maze Runner series are a good read, even though the series didnt go in the direction that i expected, i hope the movie talks for this series is still in the works. 


Tahereh Mafi

Tahereh Mafi

(author of the Shatter Me series)

Krisha: I'm pretty sure that I didn't read this book until 2012... I like her writing style.  I think Mafi has room to grow and I can't wait to see that as she expands the series.




Krisha: I couldn't get our list up to 10 new authors this year since I've been in undergrad then grad school this year.  My reading time was mostly spent on reading books 2 and on in series that I started in 2011.  Katie and I started this book blog just a few months ago.  Between that and my Kindle that Katie & Brandi got me, I'm sure my 2013 list of new authors will be very long!
