Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful The Broke and The Bookish. This week’s list are the Top Ten New-To-Me Authors I Read in 2014.
Sarah J. Maas– Throne of Glass-I’ve only read Throne of Glass but I’m soon to read Crown of Midnight. I can’t wait to get stuck into it. I should listen to my blogger friends more!
Brodi Ashton– Everneath series– I have completed the whole of the Everneath series this year. I love Brodi Ashton’s writing!
Malorie Blackman– Noughts and Crosses, Knife Edge, Cloud Busting– I can’t believe I haven’t read any Malorie Blackman before now. I have learnt from my mistake! 😉
Robin Talley– Lies We Tell Ourselves– I thought this book was stunning! I very much enjoyed it, even though it was a tough read!
Heather Demetrios– Something Real- This is easily one of my favourite books of the year. I absolutely devoured it. An unexpected gem.
Mindy McGinnis- Not A Drop To Drink– This is another book that I didn’t expect to like as much as I did!
Sally Green– Half Bad– I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I can’t wait to read the next in the series!
Emery Lord– Open Road Summer– I was really impressed with Open Road Summer. I’m happy to read that Emery has another book coming out next year!
Leigh Bardugo– The Grisha Trilogy– This is another series that I’ve devoured this year. I may have been late to the party, but I powered through the series in a few months!
Abigail Tarttelin– Golden Boy– I adored this book. It’s so intense but incredibly well written!
You probably know this already by Sarah J. Maas and Leigh Bardugo are on my to-read list for 2015! Happy to hear you enjoyed their books 🙂 Great list!
My TTT
Thanks Lianne! I really hope you enjoy them both. They’re fabulous writers!
I was late to the party for Leigh Bardugo too (I read the entire Grisha series this year) as well as Sarah J Maas (who I’m still on the fence about). Your list reminds me that I REALLY need to pick up a book by Malorie Blackman, I hear her novels are powerful!
My TTT
I’m currently reading Crown of Midnight and enjoying it! I’m glad to read that you tore through the Grisha series as well. Leigh Bardugo is an amazing author! 🙂 I highly recommend Malorie Blackman!
I really need to read Not a Drop to Drink. I’ve heard such great things!
I highly recommend it! 🙂
The Everneath series is pretty good. I’m glad I’ve finally met someone who finished the series! 😀
😀 Yay! I really enjoyed it!
Me too *high five!*
I was especially curious about Emery Lord this year, but didn’t get to read the novel
I’m shooting for next year; that’s for sure!
Sparrow’s TTT
I highly recommend her debut! It’s fabulous!
I still need to get round to throne of glass! I’m so behind! D:
I’ve only just got around to it, so don’t feel bad!
I need to read Noughts and Crosses. Great list Chrissy!
Happy reading 😀

Thank you. I highly recommend her books.
Such a good list :3 malorie blackman is such a great writer
😀 I completely agree!
Okay, I officially suck. I haven’t read anything from these authors. The good news is, most of them have books that are on my TBR especially Sarah J. Maas and Emery Lord! Excellent list, btw! 🙂
I’m so glad Sarah J Maas and Emery Lord are on your TBR list. They are fabulous!
I’m so happy to see Malorie Blackman on your list – Noughts & Crosses is one of my favourite series of all time. 😀 Great list!
Thank you Jess. I’m loving Malorie Blackman! 🙂
I need to read Something Real by Heather Demetrios. Sounds amazing. I love how you have Malorie Blackman and Robin Talley on your TTT list. And Half Bad was pretty good! I can’t wait for Half Wild.
I’m really looking forward to Half Wild. I hope it lives up to your expectations. 🙂
Sarah ❤ Love her! Be sure to read Assassin's Blade too! Gives a wonderful look into Celaena's life and just explains so much about her!
Ooh I will done. Thank you!
Glad to see Half Bad and not a drop to drink everywhere, still havent read but makes me excited for what’s in store. Thanks for stopping by my blog!!
You’re welcome! Thanks for the return visit! I hope you enjoy them all.
I almost included some of your authors on my list (Emery Lord, Heather Demetrios, and Sally Green) as I loved their books so very muchly! Then I realized my list could go on forever if I didn’t put some limits on it. lol Good choices!
My TTT is here.
Yay! I’m so glad you loved Emery Lord, Heather Demetrios and Sally Green! 🙂 I’ve checked out your list now!
The only author that made my list is Bardugo, but Throne of Glass and Half Bad are both on my want to read list. Probably won’t make it this year though. How can it be almost over?
I know. It’s crazy!
I enjoyed both SOMETHING REAL and NOT A DROP TO DRINK. Both were unique and very compelling.
Happy TTT!
They were fantastic. I loved them both! 🙂
I’ve been hearing some amazing things about Heather Demetrios, so I will definitely have to look into her books.
I still haven’t read Sarah J. Maas or Leigh Barduga but they are high on my TBR list.
I’m so glad that you will discover Sarah J Maas and Leigh Bardugo soon! I highly recommend Heather Demetrios!
Oooh so many good authors. Hopefully 2015 will be awesome too.
I really hope so! 🙂
Sarah J. Maas is on my list as well. I loved her Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight so much. And The Grisha trilogy by Leigh Bardugo is so good as well!
Lies We Tell Ourselves is going to make it to my priority list I think. I read an excerpt of it in the Buzz Books and it seemed incredible to me.
So many of these are on my to-read list.
Great list!
I definitely recommend Lies We Tell Ourselves. It’s one of the stand out books for me this year. 🙂
I really want to read Another Drop to Drink. I’ve been trying to read more non-contemp and that one is high on my list. I also really want to read Something Real (and her other book Exquisite Captive). Great List 🙂
Thanks for stopping by My TTT
Thanks Michelle. I’m looking forward to reading more from Heather Demetrios!
I read Emery Lord for the first time this year too! Loved OPEN ROAD SUMMER!
It was fantastic! ❤
Wow, some great books on this list! I especially enjoyed Lies We Tell Ourselves — so powerful and moving.
I completely agree! 🙂
Crown of Midnight is even better than ToG, and Heir of Fire is ten times better than that! I’m pretty sure they just improve with every book xD
I’m so excited for Half Wild! Just a few more months 😀 I think I need to read Half Bad though, just to refresh my mind.
I’m so glad you enjoyed Half Bad! 🙂 It’s fabulous and I can’t wait to see how it goes! 🙂
Naughts and Crosses is very high on my TBR list! I need to pick it up soon.
Great List!
Thanks Mallory! I highly recommend it!
I met Robin Talley last month…she is so awesome! I hope to get to her book by the end of this year! Thanks for stoppin’ by! Have a great week!
Oh how lovely! 🙂 Thanks for the return visit!
I’m stuck part of the way through HALF BAD and was just thinking of calling it quits perhaps I should try harder after your confession how much you liked it.
Ooh, I know it’s received mixed reviews! Maybe it’s just not for you. I hope you enjoy it if you do decide to carry on!
I love your design!!!
How did you do it?
I loved the Throne of Glass series but I didn’t quite enjoy Half Bad as much as you did. It reminded me a lot of Beautiful Creatures and I didn’t like that series. I’m glad you liked it anyway. The cover is beautiful, though
Thank you! I can’t take credit for it. It’s a free WordPress theme. Within it, it can snow from 1st December- early January. I’m glad you enjoyed Throne of Glass so much. I know Half Bad received mixed reviews!
I also NEED to read Shadow and Bone. I’m relying on Xmas presents. Haha
I agree with so many of these! Definitely Leigh Bardugo, and Mindy McGinnis, and Heather Demetrios! I haven’t read Something Real yet, but I read I’ll Meet You There and adored it! And I MUST read Lies We Tell Ourselves, Half Bad, and Throne of Glass ASAP. GREAT list!
I really need to read I’ll Meet You There! I highly recommend all of these books! I hope you enjoy them.
Haven’t read many of your picks but several are on my TBR list–especially Shadow and Bone and Throne of Glass. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Have a great week! 😀
You’re welcome! Thanks for the return visit! 🙂 I’m glad Shadow and Bone and Throne of Glass are on your list!
I have read and Shadow & Bone and Noughts & Crosses!!! They are such great books! I’m glad you enjoyed them 🙂
