TTT-2025 New-to-me fiction authors

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Bookish Discoveries I Made in 2025 (New-to-you authors you discovered, new genres you learned you like, new bookish resources you found, friends you made, local bookshops you found, a book club you joined, etc.) I am going to go with new-to-me authors I read in 2025. I 53 new-to-me authors, which is lower than previous years (146 in 2021; 55 in 2022; 57 in 2023; and 77 in 2024) It looks like 2026 needs to be a stellar year 😂 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.

Title: Complete

Series: The Sweet RomCom #3

My Review:

I loved how the author did the first part of the book. It started with flashbacks to when Ben and Brooke met, and then several interactions they had leading up to their present day friendship.

My Review:

First, don't read the description of the book; it isn't accurate, and it gives spoilers.

Stacking the Shelves #199 Sunday Post #196 Sunday Salon #190

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? This week was better than last week, but still busy. I had several appointments, my bloodwork was better this week, and now I am fixated on the weather!! Anybody else?! My main concern was that we would get the ice and lose power, but we don't seem to be in the path. We are supposed to get anywhere from 6-12 11-15 inches of snow and it is bitterly cold! I hope no matter where you are, that you don't lose power, and you are able to stay safe and warm. Have a great weekend!

Where the Last Rose Blooms

Title: Where the Last Rose Blooms

Series: Heirloom Secrets #3

Author: Ashley Clark

My Review:

Where the Last Rose Blooms is the third book in the series, and can be read as a standalone novel. Having said that, I have read the first two books, and wish I had read them closer to reading this one.

Sign Me Up

Title: Sign Me Up

Series: Kissing a Kent Brother #1

Author: Dulcie Dameron

My Review:

So, I had to go back and read the first book in the Kissing a Kent Brother series, since I had already read the second one. They are better read in order, but can be read as stand alone novels. I am looking forward to reading the third book when it comes out.
