Top Ten Tuesday: New-to-Me Authors I Read in 2020

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish back 2010 before moving to That Artsy Reader Girl in 2018. It's born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week's theme is New-to-Me Authors I Read in 2020, and the challenge for me wasn't to find 10, it was to narrow it down to a top 10, so I'm going to go with the 10 New-to-Me Authors I Read in 2020 and hope to read again in 2021.

In alphabetical order...

1. Alina Boyden - Stealing Thunder was one of my favorite books of the year (and Razia one of my all-time favorite heroines), and I have an ARC of Gifting Fire waiting for me
2. Nicola Davidson - Scandalous Passions was such a good book, a female-led polyamorous romance, and I have At His Lady's Command & The Devil's Submission cued up next
3. Sara Gravatt-Wimsatt - Prince(ss): A fair(l)y (odd) tale was another of my favorite reads of the year and I'll be all over whatever she publishes next
4. Dan Hanks - Captain Moxley and the Embers of the Empire was such a fun read, a sort of Stargate meets Indiana Jones mash-up, I'll be really angry if Angry Robot doesn't publish a sequel
5. Dharma Kelleher - Chaser was my first adventure with her transgender bounty hunter heroine, and I've got Extreme Prejudice & A Broken Woman on the shelf waiting for their chance
6. Sarah Kozloff - A Queen in Hiding was one of the best fantasy debuts of last year, and I recently picked up the whole series in paperback, so I'll be binging soon
7. Brian Naslund - Blood of an Exile was a killer debut, and even if the sequel didn't match it for me, I still have my eyes on Fury of a Demon later this year
8. Wen Spencer - A Brother's Price wasn't just my favorite read of the year, it's one of my favorite books ever. Tinker is up next for me
9. Olivia Waite - The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics & The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows were absolutely wonderful romances, and I'm anxiously awaiting The Hellion's Waltz
10. Regina Watts - Be My Bully and Dottie For You were my introduction to Regina, but it was with her Sabine stories that we really clicked. Familiarity is likely up next, but I also have my eyes on her massive Dottie For You Season 1 paperback

Who did you discover in 2020, and who are you looking forward to reading again?
