Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Debut Authors Who Have Me Looking Forward To Their Sophomore Novel
Sadly, I had written a list last week and now can’t seem to find it, so I had to re-create my list again (and couldn’t remember a few of the authors), but I found a few more that I would be excited about as well!
- Natalie Lloyd, author of A Snicker of Magic, I am anxiously awaiting The Key to Extraordinary that is due out in February!
- Rachel Hartman, author of Seraphina. I know her second book is already out, but I haven’t gotten a chance to read it yet, so I included her on my list!
- Emil Sher – I read Young Man with Camera and enjoyed the story immensely. I’d be excited to see what else Emil has up his sleeve.
- Sabaa Tahir – I absolutely loved An Ember in the Ashes and can’t wait to find out what happens in the sequel.
- Eric Lindstrom, author of Not If I See You First. This author portrays blindness in a very real way as Parker tries to navigate high school’s ups and downs, all while not being able to see a thing. I would truly enjoy reading something else by Eric.
- Rubin Pingk, author of Samurai Santa. The only picture book author on my list – if you can combine Santa and ninjas, you’ve got my vote!
- Kate Hattemer, author of The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy. I really liked this YA novel with down-to-earth teen voice and would love to read something else by Kate.
- Maggie Thrash, aiuthor of Honor Girl. I had the pleasure of seeing Maggie on a panel and getting the chance to meet her a few times now and would love to see another project from her… she’s hysterical, by the way!
- Ali Benjamin – although not a light-hearted book, The Truth About Jellyfish was a close-up look at grief and resilience was beautiful and I would gladly read another book by Ali.
- Paula Hawkins – the only adult book I’ve read in quite some time, I love psychological thrillers and would love to see a second novel from Paula.
