It's time for the weekly book blogger hops again! A great opportunity to meet new bloggers and say hi to old favorites.
Here's the question of the week: Who is your favorite new-to-you author so far this year?
I'm Alison. My blog is now 8 weeks old! It'll be two months next week.
Many of the books I've read this year have been by new-to-me authors. I've read YA lit for years, but it's only recently that I've delved so deeply into the genre. To authors that immediately come to mind are Lauren Oliver (Before I Fall), Leah Cypess (Mistwood) and Kimberly Pauley (Sucks To Be Me, Still Sucks To Be Me)
And also check out Parajunkee's Follow My Book Blog Friday
Ah, 21Pages mentioned Lauren Oliver too. Now I have to go get Before I Fall ASAP. Good choice.
ReplyDeleteHey Allison! Thanks for hopping by my place =D

AHHH I have been wanting to read Before I fall since I won a bookmarker about that book.

Julie Kagawa is great. You mentioned some great authors too. I saw your bio and I used to own ALL the baby sitters club books when I was like in 3rd grade. lol

Hello, I'm blog hopping all late but better late than never, right? I love finding new YA blogs to read through. I haven't read any of the authors that you mentioned in this post but I'm curious enough to want to. So thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower so I'll be back for more! Happy reading and keep up the good work.
