Today I’m participating in Top Ten Tuesday, which 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. Each week there is a new theme/topic, and participants choose ten books that fit it.
This week’s theme is New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2024. I read quite a few authors last year that I’d been wanting to try for quite some time. It made narrowing down this list kind of difficult. lol. I’ve included both the authors and the book that made me fall in love with their writing. All covers link to Goodreads in case something catches your eye. 🙂
Evocation by S.T. Gibson, A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft, These Burning Stars by Bethany Jacobs, The Sins on Their Bones by Laura R. Samotin, The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden, Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli, Voyage of the Damned by Frances White, The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett, The Mars House by Natasha Pulley
There you have it! Ten new-to-me authors I discovered in 2024. What new authors did you read last year? Let me know down in the comments!
Oh you read some good ones last year! Huge fan of Robert Jackson Bennett, and Erin Morgenstern. ST Gibson’s work is phenomenal too!
They are all so great! I’m hoping to read more stuff by Robert Jackson Bennett this year. I still need to read Foundryside.
Robert Jackson Bennett would be on my list!
Awesome! I definitely loved The Tainted Cup and am hoping to read the sequel and Foundryside this year.
Great list! Heartless Hunter and Voyage of the Damned are still both high up on my TBR!!
I loved them both so much! I hope you enjoy them.
Me too! 🙂
Oh, I totally forgot about Ciccarelli and White even though I loved both of those books! There were just too many authors to choose from 🫣 This is a great list and I hope you continue discovering more amazing new authors in 2025!
Thanks, Dini! I had some trouble narrowing it down, too. I really wanted to include Open Water. So, I’m glad that it made it on your list. 🙂
For me I read Emilia Hart’s WEYWARD & really enjoyed it. Hoping I can get around to her upcoming release this year.
I’ve heard such great things about that book. It is on my shelf somewhere. lol. I definitely want to get to it.
I have 2 of S.T. Gibson’s books on the shelf and still have yet to make time. It’s been a long time since I’ve read Robert Jackson Bennett, but his Divine Cities was an interesting series.
I still need to read A Dowry in Blood by Gibson. It has been on my shelf for a while. I’m looking forward to it after how much I enjoyed the more recent books.
The Tainted Cup was my first book by Bennett, and I definitely plan to read more of his work.
