New-to-Me Authors Books I Want to Read This Year

New-to-Me Authors Books I Want to Read This Year

June 1, 2021 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 5 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books that I want to read from new-to-me authors. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

Today I’m sharing the books from authors that I haven’t read before. From debut books to ones that have been out a while, these are the ones I want to read. There is a mix of romance, fantasy, historical fiction and more. Also, there is a mix of authors that are traditionally published and self-published. Some of these books are new to my tbr, some I’ve had an eye on for a while. Anyway, let’s get into it, like always these are in no order. 

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas | Sistersong by Lucy Holland | The Unbroken (Magic of the Lost #1) by C.L. Clark | Sweethand (Island Bites #1) by N.G. Peltier

Ariadne by Jennifer Saint | For Vacation Only by Mila Nicks | Seven Days in June by Tia Williams | The Ones We’re Meant to Find by Joan He

The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels (Dangerous Damsels #1) by India Holton | Anything But Fine by Tobias Madden

And there we go, those are the books from new-to-me authors that I cannot wait to read. I love finding new-to-me authors that I end up loving. Because then I end up reading more from them. Have you read any of these? Are you planning to? Let’s Chat!

    New authors are wonderful to find, aren’t they! Great theme to choose and Sistersong is on my list too. I have heard great things about Cemetary Boys, and Ariadne has such a gorgeous cover! Hope you love them all!
    This is my TTT for this week: just the last ten books I have bought.

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!

I just had a really good start to the year. While February is a little slow so far I’m looking forward to what I can pick up.
