Top Ten Favorite New-To-Me Authors I Read In 2012
Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, what are my Top Ten Favorite New-To-Me Authors I Read in 2012?
Hmmm, let's see. I don't know if I can do this or not. These are new to me but may be old to you.
1.) J.K. Rowling - I'm still new to Harry Potter and have the two final books to go.
2.) Jodi Picoult - I read In Plain Truth and it was pretty decent.
3.) Cheryl Strayed - If you haven't read Wild yet, please do so. I loved it.
4.) Erin Morgenstern - I wasn't a huge fan of The Night Circus BUT this is one hell of a writer nonetheless.
5.) Stephen Chbosky - The Perks of Being a Wallflower was quite good.
6.) James P. Kimmel - He's a newly published author and wrote a great first novel titled The Trial of Fallen Angels
7.) Seth Grahame-Smith - Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was really historically accurate except for the whole vampire hunting thing. The movie, I heard, sucked.
Dammit. I guess I didn't read that many new authors this year that really blew me away.
Here's some that didn't blow me away.
8.) David Sedaris - I tried. I just can't get into the dark humor.
9.) Jasper Fforde - The Eyre Affair. Confusing, weird and annoying.
10.) Stephen King - Not exactly new to me but I re-read Carrie this year and blech. Too many icky descriptions. Yeh, I know this makes me unpopular but I just can't stomach him.

Before you completely give up on Stephen King I would encourage you to try 11/22/63. One of my favorites from 2012 and nothing like what you would expect from King.
A newbie to Harry Potter! LOVE! LOVE!!! JK Rowling is awesome! Hope you love the last two books!
New follower by the way! Check out my TTT.

I like that not EVERYONE in the whole wide world has devoured HP. Way to savor him!
I won the Harry Potter War, so I will let the Stephen King thing go.
I'm glad you get to stretch the HP experience into the new year! Looking forward to watching the next 3 movies with you! We got a new, big tv!
