Top Ten New-to-Me Authors Whose Books I Want to Try In 2023

Posted January 30, 2023 by Jana in Top Ten Tuesday / 19 Comments

Welcome to another TTT! On first glance you might think I re-posted my blog post from last week, but worry not! This week’s topic is a freebie, and since I’m very much a fan of setting New Year’s goals and then not accomplishing them, I thought it would be fun to make a list of authors whose books I have always wanted to read and haven’t yet. I mentioned last week how much I love discovering new authors, so why not make it a goal to try a book by each of these authors this year? Sounds good to me, but who knows what I’m going to end up doing? Mood reader for life. I read what I want, when I want, and if I’ve set a goal to read something in particular I’ll probably want to read everything under the sun more than that book. But it’s the thought that counts, right? So here’s a list of authors who have been on my to-read list for ages and I still haven’t read a thing they’ve written.

1. Megan Frampton
I have re-fallen in love with historical romance over the last year, and Megan has so many titles that sounds great!

2. Sabrina Jeffries
Ditto to the above. Sabrina has a ton of books out, and the idea of falling in love with the books of an author who has over 70 to choose from is pretty exciting!

3. Sherry Thomas
I’ve been interested in the Lady Sherlock mystery series since the first one came out, and now there’s 7 books in this series! She’s also written some romance I’m interested in.

4. Christi Caldwell
More historical romance! I’ve subscribed to her newsletter and own a bunch of her books, so I think it’s time to maybe… read one of them? LOL.

5. Joanna Shupe
Everyone loves her!!

6. Amanda Bouchet
I love fantasy, and I believe I’ve added every book Amanda has written to my to-read list. I’ve heard nothing but amazing things!

7. Amalie Howard
I’m particularly interested in The Beast of Beswick because I love anything Beauty and the Beast inspired, but she’s got such a great sounding backlist.

8. Erin Hilderbrand
I always see her books popping up on “great beach reads” kinds of lists, and they sound like a fun mix of mystery and a teensy bit of romance. I’ve added so many to my to-read list!

9. Alafair Burke
I love mysteries, and Alafair wrote many books with my favorite mystery writer ever: Mary Higgins Clark. I’m super interested in reading some of her own books

10. Robyn Carr
My mom has been singing Virgin River’s praises since the first few books came out. It’s her favorite series ever, and she wants me to read it so badly. So this year I think I’ll finally give it a try!

Have you read books by any of these authors?
Which titles would be the best place to start?
What topic did you come up with for this week’s freebie?

  1. Hildebrand and Carr are the only ones I’ve read off your list. I loved Carr’s Virgin River series when I read it years ago. I also read a few of her Thunder Point series, but I stopped somewhere around book 6. I don’t even remember which book from Hildebrand I read. I hope you get to try all of these authors this year.

  2. I loved Beast of Beswick! I hope you enjoy Joanna Shupe! I recently read her My Dirty Duke and it made me bump her Fifth Avenue Rebels series up on my TBR. Happy Reading!
