Welcome to another Tuesday, Dear Readers!

Today’s TOP TEN TUESDAY topic is “new to me” authors. In 2020, of the 118 books I read, I was surprised to discover that only 33 (28%) were by authors I was already familiar with! Part of it has to do with being able to bingeread several books in a series and playing catch-up whereas I’m already mostly caught up with the latest from my favorite authors.

My list below includes ten “new” authors who really impressed me. I can’t wait to see what they do next.
