New To Me Authors That I Want To Read More Of

New To Me Authors That I Want To Read More Of

August 19, 2020 Posted by angelreads Discussions, Recommendations 1 Comment

I’ve read a lot of new authors this year already. And today I thought I would share some authors that I would like to read more of. Whether they already have other books published, or I just can’t wait for them to publish more. I thought this would be fun to do – and maybe add some books or authors to your tbr. 

I’ve read a number of new to me authors so far this year and I’ve really enjoyed that. Of the past couple, I’ve stuck to what I know and love. But I’ve tried to push that this year, and readout of my comfort zone and try authors that I’ve come across but never picked up. I spoke a few weeks ago about some new to me authors that I’m loving already, but I wanted to expand on that. Like always these are in no order. 

Rachel Hawkins: Has been a name that I’ve heard of quite a bit in the YA circle, but I just never seemed to pick up her books. Recently I read Prince Charming and had such a good time. It’s one of those books that just make your smile the whole time. I’m planning to read the next book in this series at least. 

Beverly Jenkins: I’ve spoken a few times about Beverly Jenkins already this year, but I have had such a good time reading her books. The only trouble I’m really having is picking what I want to read next from her. Her books are such good historical romances that also are sexy and I love that.

Hallie Alexander: I hadn’t heard of Hallie Alexander until I picked up her books a couple of months ago. And I’m so glad that I did. I had such a good time reading A Widow’s Guide to Scandal and I can’t wait to see what she writes next. 

Giana Darling: I think I’ve spoken enough about The Fallen Men series already this year that you know that this author has taken me by surprise. I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with this series as much as I did. And now I can’t wait for more books to come out. Her other books have caught my eye and I will need to check them out soon. 

Elizabeth Acevedo: This author has been on my radar for some time now and I finally picked up The Poet X earlier this year and just fell in love. I’m hoping to get to at least one of her other books in the coming weeks. But I cried so much in The Poet X that I know I need to be ready.

Sabrina Jeffries: I’ve recently spoken recently about my love for Sabrina Jeffires in my mini-reviews as well as my review of Who Wants to Marry a Duke. And no all I want to do is read more of her books. The series that I did get arrived this month so I’m excited. 

Sarah MacLean: This is another historical romance author that I’ve had my eye on for some time and finally picked up Wicked and the Wallflower last month. I’ve now purchased the other two books in this series and can’t wait to dig in. 

Mariana Zapata: This author had been on my radar for a little while now and I decided to take the dive earlier this year. I’ve now read quite a few of Mariana Zapata’s books. There have been some that I’ve enjoyed reading and some that just didn’t do it for me. But I’m interested to read more of her books. 

Nic Stone: There should be no surprise that Nic Stone is on this list. I adored Dear Martin and I can’t wait to read more of her books. I’m especially excited about the companion novel to Dear Martin, Dear Justyce.
 
 
 
 
And those are some of the new to me authors that I can’t wait to read more of. Have you read anything from these authors? What did you think of them? Would you like to see another post like this? Let’s Chat!

    I told myself I would read a book by Elizabeth Acevedo this year. It’s embarrassing that I haven’t.

    I’ve read one Beverly Jenkins book and need to read more! I think Im overwhelmed by how many books she has out, haha.

    Also started the Bareknuckles Bastard series months ago and just didn’t finish book one? I’ll need to fix that.

    Great recs Angel!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!
