In 2021, I read a total of 158 new-to-me authors! Most of them were just one-and-dones, but here are the ten that stood out from the rest! I either couldn’t read enough of their books, or I just loved the ones that I did read.

Stephanie Nicole Norris
I read 18 of her books last year! They weren’t favorites, but I enjoyed most of them, hence continuing to pick them up.
Marie Lipscomb
I read 7 of her books (and one this year already!) and really liked all of them. Rhythm was one of my top books of the year!
Honey Phillips
Her books helped fill the void when I ran out of Ruby Dixon books! I’ll definitely read more this year!
Anna Stone
She’s been on my radar for awhile now and I finally got around to her fabulous F/F Romances!
Phyllis Bourne
Her romances are delightful! I read four of them!
Sonya Lalli
Grown-Up Pose was one of my favorite reads of the year!
Ali Hazelwood
Believe the hype! This debut was fantastic!
Regine Abel
I Married a Lizard also made my favorites list, and I already read the other two books in the series this year!
Aisha Saeed
I don’t normally seek out MG books, but this one was sooo good! I definitely need to check out her YA titles.
Abigail Hing Wen
Another top tenner here! I cannot wait for her sophomore novel!
Wow, you read a lot of new-to-you authors last year. Good for you!

I was definitely surprised by how many fabulous new authors I found last year!
I read Serena Singh Flips the Script last year by Sonya Lalli, and truly enjoyed it.

That was one of the books I wanted more of after finishing it! Making friends as an adult is hard!
Anna Stone is one I hadn’t heard of but I enjoy a good F/F romance. Sienna Waters was new to me this year and I loved her F/F romance THE WRONG DATE. And another was WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT by Hayley Cass. I’m hoping to read both authors again.
Sonya Lalli and Ali Hazelwood are both on my TBR already (probably because of you lol)
I’ve read and enjoyed Sienna Waters! I’ll definitely read more by her. Hayley Cass is on my radar too. š
