Welcome to Litsy!

I read my first Christie this year & have now plowed through five more. I don‘t know why it took me so long to “discover” her, but I‘m glad I finally did! I‘ve also included Robin Hobb above because she‘s my husband‘s latest new-to-him favorite author. He says she‘s supplanted Robert Jordan in his favorites, which coming from him is highest praise! He demands I read Ship of Magic first thing in 2018. #newtoyoufavoriteauthors #allthebooksof2017

I think it‘s still too soon to say Margaret Atwood and Brandon Sanderson are new favorites for me since I haven‘t read much by them, but they are definitely on my radar now, and I‘d love to read more of their books. 😊

Authors I "discovered" and loved this year - very very late to the party on some of these! Can't wait to read more of their work.

Malcolm X only had one book but it was incredible.
Andrej Sapkowski's Witcher Saga is the best written high fantasy series I have ever read.
China Mieville is a unique, brilliant writer - looking forward to more.
Robert Kirkman - Walking Dead, could not stop reading!
Alison Bechdel - Fun Home, mindblowing.
George Eliot - what lovely and witty writing!

Finally diving into the sequel to Sailing to Sarantium! I thought this bit of mosaic tile at work would be appropriate for a book about a mosaic in a world based on early Constantinople. Guy Gavriel Kay is definitely my #newtoyoufavoriteauthors from 2017. An amazing Canadian author, I love everything I‘ve read by this man. And I‘m carefully rationing his books so that I don‘t read them all at once and get sad when there‘s no more. 😅

I read quite a few #newtoyoufavoriteauthors this year, many were good, a few were awesome. The Hate U Give was incredible. A truly amazing book by a debut author.

Unrelated....this is my new blanket. It is sooooo cozy. 😃

I read my first Ann Patchett this year (BEL CANTOOOOOO 😍) and fell in love, so I‘ve been slowly making my way through her books. She is without a doubt one of my #newtoyoufavoriteauthors that I read this year. #allthebooksof2017

Madeline Miller, because Song of Achilles has my ❤️

Jesmyn Ward, because she‘s awesome.

Elizabeth Kostova, because The Historian is so good.

John Irving, because Owen Meany is amazing and now I need to read all of his books.

I've read a ton of great thrillers my female authors this year and have a lot of #newtoyoufavoriteauthors I'm excited to read more of in the future. #allthebooksof2017

Anyone have recommendations of great thrillers? I'm hungry for more!

(Clearly JK Rowling isn't really new to me, but her thrillers are ❤)
