We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is: Authors You Wish Were Still Writing Today (These could be authors who have passed away or retired/are taking a long hiatus from writing. You could also spin this and share authors who have switched to a genre you’re not interested in.) (submitted by Rebecca @ Top100Books)
Although I’m still talking about authors in today’s post, I’m going slightly rogue and sharing ten authors I can’t wait to read for the first time!
S.A. Cosby
Yaa Gyasi
Megha Majumdar
Anne McCaffrey
S.A. Barnes
Sadeqa Johnson
Angeline Boulley
Lily King
Grady Hendrix
Saara El-Arifi
Have you read any of these authors or are they also new to you?

Saara El-Arifi is one of my favourite authors and I truly hope you enjoy her writing whenever you get around to picking something up by her 🤞 we’ll have to dive into Dragonflight soon as it sounds like such an incredible series and I know you brought the entire set 😂 S. A. Barnes, Angeline Boulley and Grady Hendrix are also ones I especially want to try although with the latter I’m unsurprisingly planning to pick up their vampire title first. I hope you enjoy all of these and cant wait to hear what you think of their books.

Great topic! I like to think there are lots of authors I would be still excited to try, but I also like to stay with the ones who consistently charm or make me laugh with their books. 🙂

I had the same topic idea, but I saw this will be a topic in the near future so I went completely rogue haha.
