Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. It's been a while since I last participated, but this week's topic of newly discovered authors had me instantly composing a mental list . As it turns out, new-to-me authors comprised the majority of my reading this year so making this list was no easy task.
Favorite New-to-Me Author of 2013
(in no particular order, click on title for my review if available)
1. John Williams: Stoner was my favorite book of 2013.
2. Hillary Jordan: I'm glad my book club selected Mudbound.
3. Angela Thirkell: High Rising, the first of her Barsetshire novels
4. Claire Messud: The Woman Upstairs was a 5 star novel for me.
5. Beatriz Williams: A Hundred Summers was a perfect summer read.
6. Jojo Moyes: Me Before You certainly deserves all the hype.
7. David Nasaw: His Joseph P. Kennedy biography, The Patriarch, is outstanding.
8. Elinor Lipman: The View From Penthouse B... now on to her backlist!
9. Ken Follett: Fall of Giants kept me turning pages for two weeks.
10. Carol Rifka Brunt: Tell the Wolves I'm Home is simply amazing.
Have you read any of these authors? Who have you discovered this year?
