So, we’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week is actually a freebie and so I decided to do a topic that I don’t think I’ve done before: Authors I Haven’t Read, But Want To (Submitted by Deanna @ A Novel Glimpse)!
There are so many books and not enough time for me to read them all so I have *plenty* of authors to choose from for this week’s topic! I would stick to one genre but instead, I’ve decided to include authors from all the genres as there are truly so many that I haven’t read but can’t wait to read from maybe even this year! There’s absolutely no order to this list but these are the first ten that came to mind. 🤣
*the covers are linked to Goodreads*
John Gwynne – Malice
Jordan Ifueko – Raybearer
Devney Perry – Juniper Hill
Adrienne Tooley – Sofi and the Bone Song
Ocean Vuong – On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous
Nghi Vo – The Empress of Salt and Fortune
Mazey Eddings – A Brush With Love
Caleb Azumah Nelson – Open Water
B.K. Borison – Lovelight Farms
Andy Weir – Project Hail Mary
Have you read any of these authors or their books? What new-to-you authors do you have on your TBR that you can’t wait to read (this year maybe)?

Ocean Vuong is one I keep forgetting and then getting excited about when they come up again. Gotta prioritize that!! The cover for Sofi and the Bone Song is gorgeous and feels ethereal almost. Definitely looking that one up… ☺️

Shameless plug: my review for Sofi and the Bone Song is up today and spoiler alert: I loved it! 😊 I also need to prioritise Vuong’s book—I feel like I keep saying that but this year it’s definitely gonna happen. I’m determined 😂

Oof, sounds like Vuong’s book is gonna break my heart (although I kinda expected it would and that’s probably why I keep putting off reading it lol)! I’ve heard so many great things about Project Hail Mary so I’m excited to finally read my first Andy Weir this year!

I haven’t read any of these either. My husband is a HUGE Andy Weir fan. I DNF’d THE MARTIAN because I found it boring. Loved the film, though! I hope you enjoy all these.
Happy TTT!

The Martian was his other very popular book wasn’t it? I (obviously) haven’t read that one either but also, I don’t know why, every time I see the cover I never feel the urge to add it to my TBR! 😂 Something about it just doesn’t appeal to me but I have hope for Project Hail Mary!

I feared I would not have read any of these, but I have. There is only the one book by Eddings which I enjoyed. I am looking forward to the follow up. I loved Perry’s Runaway series.

Did you not enjoy ABWL? That was Eddings’ debut, right? I’ll make a note for Perry’s Runaway series—I think I did see it mentioned on your blog at some point and I immediately added the book to my library cos it sounded so good. 😂 I think it was from your blog, heh. I’m very excited to try her books though!

I did like Brush. If she had pulled back a bit on the mental health (it seemed to have too much focus) it would have been better for me, but it was a solid book.
