Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Click on the link for more info and to find out about future topics.
This week’s theme is: New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2022
I read quite a few new-to-me authors in 2022, and enjoyed each of the books I read enough that I’d like to check out more from any of the authors listed below. I’ve linked the covers to my reviews (where possible) in case anything catches your attention. On to the books..
This weeks post features books from:
Alice Hoffman | Ray Bradbury | T. Kingfisher | Caroline Mitchell | Louise Douglas | Becky Chambers | Alma Katsu | Chris Carter | Mark Edwards | Catherine Ryan Howard
So, which books made your list this week?
See you again next time for another Top Ten Tuesday.

I can’t believe I waited so long to read Something Wicked… I hope whichever of his books I choose next is just as good.

While I’ve heard of several of these, I haven’t read any.

Definitely a couple of new favourites for me from the authors I read last year.

There are lots more books by T. Kingfisher to read, you’re so lucky😁 I love Alma Katsu’s novels, she’s written quite a variety.

I’m looking forward to picking up another one, possibly Nettle & Bone or The Hollow Places, both of those sound good.

I’ve heard good things about What Moves the Dead.

As you know I have some more Bradbury to read but I liked the sound of the Kingfisher novel you reviewed.
As for me, I read several new-to-me authors last year but a few I’m fairly unlikely to revisit – not necessarily because they’re bad but because I had enough of a flavour of their writing. These one-offs include child author Barbara Newhall Follett, Wynne Jeudwine, Muriel Jaeger, and Sjön.
Others I’d definitely not ignore would be Robin Sloane, Emma Carroll, Kiran Milwood Hargrave, and possibly Luís Fernando Verissimo.

Have just looked up Kiran Milwood Hargrave as I thought the name sounded familiar.
Not an author I’ve read so far but a couple of books – The Mercies and The Deathless Girls – have caught my eye before. The latter is YA which I don’t tend to read much of, but I do like the sound of both of those books. Have you read either of them?

This has been happening to me too recently, I thought it was something to do with my computer but perhaps not. So annoying but I don’t know what (if anything) can be done about it.

It may be that because I tried to include a link it thought I was a spammer? I’ll try again: here’s a link to my review of The Deathless Girls: https://calmgrove.wordpress.com/2022/11/01/ww22b/

I’m looking forward to the second of the Practical Magic series as I would have liked to know more about the aunts and their past in the first book.

What a great selection! I read Long Way to a Small Angry Planet this past year too, and loved it! (In fact, I’ll be starting #4 in the series as soon as I finish my current book).

Wow, you’re getting on with the series really quickly. It’s definitely one I hope to get back to this year, it’s very different than my usual reads.

Great list! I’ve enjoyed T. Kingfisher’s work too, but I stay away from her horror. I’ve read enough horror-adjacent short stories of hers to know it would be too creepy for me. 😉 I’m hoping to read more of that Becky Chambers series this year!
LikeLike
Even the cover of The Hollow Places looks pretty creepy, and What Moves the Dead had it’s moments as well. I think I might try Nettle & Bone next.

I’m pretty sure Nettle & Bone will be the next book of hers I read, too!
