Sloth Choice Awards - New-to-Me Authors



It's time to celebrate my year in books. I will be spreading my favorites throughout a bunch of categories, but these are all favorites. For more of my favorites, check out my Five Star Friday posts. Today I will be sharing.....
Favorite New-to-Me Authors!


It's hard to read every book that is released even if we wish we could, but it's a thrill when I "discover" new talent. I may be behind on their catalogs, but I love finding new-to-me authors to add to my reading roster. This year, I read 105 books that I marked "new-to-me", and below are five that really stood out for me. 

  1. If All Else Sails by Emma St. Clair
  2. The Favorites by Layne Fargo
  3. Gracie Harris Is Under Construction by Kate Hash
  4. PS: I Hate You by Lauren Connolly
  5. These Summer Storms by Sarah MacLean

    1. I did the audio and it worked really well with the format of the book. I hadn't read Wurthering Heights, but apparently, its a retelling.

  3. 105!? I'm so jealous of all your reading time! I need to retire... If All Else Sails looks really good! Adding it now.

    Merry Christmas, Sam! ❤️

    1. Sails was so fun! I read that one when I was on my cruise, so it was a good vibe. I hope you get a chance to check it out. Hope you and the family have a wonderful Christmas, and you enjoy your break.
