Top Ten Tuesday: New-To-Me Authors I Read in 2020
Hello, happy Tuesday! I hope you’re all doing well. Today I have another Top Ten Tuesday.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl where there is a topic and you make a list that best fits it. Today’s topic is New-To-Me Authors I Read in 2020.

The Missing Piece of Charlie O’Reilly was an amazing book filled with the powerful message of forgiveness and a great storyline.
Orson Scott Card
I read the first two books in the Ender’s Saga series, Ender’s Game and Speaker for the Dead, and they were one of the first science fiction books I’ve read. I’m not a huge reader when it comes to sci-fi, but these books were really interesting.
Kristin Cashore
The Graceling Realm was a great adventure and action filled series in a wonderfully made world.
Brigid Kemmerer
The Cursebreakers is an amazing fantasy series. The third book just came out today, if I remember correctly.
Karen M. McManus
The One of Us is Lying duology are two excellent mystery books, including the first murder mystery I’ve read.
L.M. Montgomery
The Anne of Green Gables series was fairly good overall. I didn’t read the last two books and some of the ones I did read weren’t very good, but I still liked them all the same.
Erin Morgenstern
The Night Circus and The Starless Sea were incredible fantasy books with amazing worlds built into our own.
Katherine Paterson
Jacob Have I Loved, a historical fiction, and Bridge to Terabithia, a fantasy, were both fun books, if not a little sad.
Nahoko Uehashi
The Beast Player series was a fascinating read, with mystical creatures and great characters.
T.H. White
The Once and Future King is the story of Kind Arthur. This book has four of the shorter stories combined. There are five in total. The first, uncombined is The Sword in the Stone.

I haven’t thought about Jacob Have I Loved or Bridge to Terabithia for years. I loved them when I was a kid, though.
My post.

I really enjoyed them as well. They were a bit sad, especially Bridge to Terabithia.

I’ve read ANNE OF GREEN GABLES several times, but I’ve never moved on with the series. Not sure why. I need to! I’m glad you found Montgomery and all these other authors in 2020. Here’s to more fabulous author finds in 2021.
Happy TTT!

Oh, I love the whole Anne of Green Gables series! And The Night Circus, though I still need to read The Starless Sea. I also need to read the Graceling series, and catch up with the Cursebreaker series. And though it is decades since I read Ender’s Game (which I first read when it was just a short story), I remember being blown away by the ending.

Nice! I’m waiting to get the third book in the Cursebreakers series, and I have a feeling that it’s going to be a good but kind of painful read. And yes, the ending of Ender’s Game definitely was startling to me as well.

Aw, I’m glad you’ve been introduced to Katherine Paterson, Children’s Lit Great. I…never did read either of those, but they’re important in the 20th century juvenile lit canon, and I appreciate her based on my childhood reads of Lyddie and The Great Gilly Hopkins.

Thank you! I really enjoyed them and I agree that they’re important.
