Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl that features a different bookish topic every week.

Today’s topic is New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2023

I wasn’t sure if I had ten new authors I read in 2023, but apparently I did! Some of them I liked better than others, but I’m happy to say all of them are authors whose works I’d read again.

Top Ten New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2023

  1. M.R. Carey – I read the Rampart Trilogy and I loved it. He is also the author of The Girl With All The Gifts series, which was turned into a movie I remember enjoying. I didn’t know at the time it was based on books, but I’m curious to read the series.
  2. Tomi Adeyemi – I read Children of Blood and Bone, the first book in the Legacy of Orisha series, and I’m intending to finish the series this year, hopefully.
  3. Madeline Martin – I read The Last Bookshop in London, and have since read The Librarian Spy. I also want to read The Keeper of Hidden Books.
  4. Bonnie Garmus – I read Lessons in Chemistry. It looks like she’s only got a single book released, but if/when she writes more, I’ll be reading them.
  5. Sarah Hogle – I read You Deserve Each Other. It was so well-written and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it. It looks like she’s got plenty of books in the same vein and I’m going to make my way through them.
  6. Allison Ashley – I read The Roommate Pact. Fun, light-hearted, heartwarming contemporary romance. I’ll be reading her other books as well.
  7. Emma Straub – I read This Time Tomorrow, a time-travel story with a lovely father-daughter relationship I fell in love with. Apparently she’s the daughter of famed author Peter Straub. I’ve never read him, but I’ve seen many of his books around. I’m interested in reading more of her books as well as trying some of Peter Straub’s books.
  8. Rebecca Yarros – I read Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, and I’m obviously going to read the next books in this series!
  9. Louis Erdrich – I read The Sentence. It was not what I expected at all. It was simultaneously so mundane and yet magical. I love the glimpse into the Native American world, and I want to read more from her.
  10. Ashley Elston – I read 10 Blind Dates and it was such a joy to read that now I want to read more. There’s a sequel, and there are several other books I’m looking forward to.

Have you read any of these authors? Did you read any of these books? What did you think of them?

    I’ve heard so many great things about Allison Ashley’s books! I hope to try one of them this year. Same goes for Garmus! Lessons in Chemistry was a very popular 2023 book, lol. I hope you discover some great new authors this year!

      Yes! Lessons in Chemistry was very popular, but surprisingly I hadn’t heard of it until after I read it, and then I was like, oh! Thanks, I hope the same for you!

      I loved Fourth Wing, and I do hope you love it too if you read it! I’m not sure about her other books, but I’ll try them one of these days!

    I love that you included photos of the authors. I fell in love with the Yarros books in 2023. I had read and enjoyed M Martin, B Garmus and L Edrich before 2023 but did enjoy them when I read them in previous years.
