Top Ten Tuesday-Authors I discovered in 2022

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is new-to-me authors I discovered in 2022. I did not focus on new authors as much in 2022 as I did in 2021 (I read over 146) . So, I am curious how many I read as well 😀Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today. 

New-to-me authors discovered in 2022 and the first book I read by them:

Well, looks like I read 55 new ones 🤯 so I will link to my Goodreads shelf and highlight my top 10 favorites:

You can click on the cover if you would like to read my review.

Do you have a new-to-you author from 2022? If you went a different direction today, what is your topic for this week? I would love for you to share in the comments. To see what other topics our bookish friends are doing this week click on the image below.

  8. This is a great list, Cindy! I haven't read any of these but several caught my eye. Mr. H.O.A. looks fun (and I love an Oregon setting) and I really like the sound of The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip! It's so fun discovering new-to-us authors, isn't it?

  18. Melanie Jacobson's books are super fun! They always make me laugh. I spent some time with Melanie at a writing conference some years ago and she's great. It's been fun following her career. I'm glad you discovered her and all these others.

    Happy TTT!

  23. I have not read any of these books but I'm glad you liked them! The title of Mr. HOA made me laugh. My father-in-law has been the president of his HOA for decades now and rules with an iron fist :-) He says he's giving it up this year but we'll believe it when we see it. I should send this to my mother-in-law for her birthday next month!

    1. Jen, LOL, that would be a great gift for your MIL! So funny that your FIL has been the president for so long, this book was a hoot.

  24. 55 new authors is so great. I really need to branch out and read more new-to-me authors. I think I only had about 15-20 last year.

    2. I also only listed my favourites, though I don't usually check how I rated them on Goodreads.

    3. Marianne, that's how I narrowed it down, LOL! It was what was easiest.

    4. I should think about that next year. Thanks.

  27. Always enjoy Becky's novels and I think YEARS ago I did pick up a novel by Siri, but I'm not sure I ever read it. Glad you discovered some new authors in 2022. Hope 2023 brings some more, too! Happy reading and thanks for visiting my website.
