TTT was created by The Broke and Bookish and moved to That Artsy Reader Girl (click here for upcoming TTT topics!).
Today’s Topic is: Authors I Haven’t Read, But Want To (Submitted by Deanna @ A Novel Glimpse)
I know I’m one week late with this T10T topic but last week my hubby tested positive and had to go into quarantine so our life was a little bit chaotic and totally upside down. XD To be confined at home during easter sucked. Yep… And with this said, let’s finally do this!
1.) Brandon Sanderson
I still haven’t read my first Brandon Sanderson book. I mean technically I started with „The Final Empire“ but I’m only about 10% in and can’t really say a lot about it yet. So yeah, for me Brandon Sanderson is still an author I haven’t read, but want to. 😉 (and am reading now?! *lol*)
2.) T.J. Klune
I swear, I so need to start reading TJ Klune’s books because everyone and their grandma is raving about them and they must be really good if so many people like them. I want to know if the hype is real and I’ll definitely read my first Klune book this year. Maybe it will even be „The House in the Cerulean Sea“. I’ve been dying to read that one for ages. XD
3.) Morgan Rhodes
This book and the entire series has been on my TBR AND on my book shelves for ages and I really need to get to it. I heard so many great things about this series and I also heard that you either love it or hate it. Since it was highly recommended to me by two people that know my taste in books because our reading tastes are similar I’m pretty sure I’ll love this. =)
4.) Lev Grossman
Another series that has been on my shelves for a very long time. I’m not entirely sure if I’ll like it or not, but I guess it’s about time to find out. The tv series was very intriguing so I’m hoping that the books will be good too. I guess the only way to find out if the author is for me or not is by reading the books, right?
5.) Anthony Doerr
I’m so going to read this book soon! Anthony Doerr has been on my radar for ages and „All The Light We Cannot See“ is definitely going to be the first book I’ll read that was written by him. By now I even placed it on my April TBR so I’ll hopefully get to it soon.
6.) Becky Chambers
Honestly, this series has been all over my Goodreads feed and so many people seem to read it. I’m very intrigued by the premise of the book and I’m also very curious about the author’s writing style. This seems to be a well-beloved series as well so I can’t wait to dive into it.
7.) Steven Salvatore
I think this book only got out in March and the author is a very new author. Their other book is „Can’t Take That Away“ and it was their debut which I also want to read and which is still on my TBR. *lol* So yeah, I haven’t read any of their books but I really want to get to them because they all sound so good! XD
8.) Naomi Novik
This is another case of „I haven’t read any of the author’s books so far but I’m currently 10% into „Spinning Silver“. *lol* I think Naomi Novik is also one of those authors everyone knows and has read at least one book of. Well, not me! 10% baby! Haha! Anyway! I’ll finish this book sooner or later and then I can finally say I have read one of the author’s books. 😉
9.) Xiran Jay Zhao
So this author has been all over BookTube lately and everyone says you should read „Iron Widow“ because it’s so good. For a debut that’s actually quite something and I can’t wait to get a copy of this into my greedy hands. *lol* I’m looking forward to read about the strong female MC and apparently there’s even an LGBTQ+ element?! I’m ready!
10.) Emery Lee
This is legit one of my most anticipated reads for 2022, because what’s not to love?! An m/m enemies-to-lovers trope with lots of food?! Sign me up! I can’t wait to read this and if I liked it I might pick up the author’s other book as well. 😉 Wish me luck that this is going to be the foodie romance I craved for! XD
So what about you? Which authors haven’t you read but really want to get to? Do we have some in common and if yes, which ones? Did you read any of the books on my list and did you enjoy them? Are there any well-beloved authors you still haven’t read and if yes why?! And are you a fan of debut books too?! (I love it, there’s nothing better than to discover a new amazing author!)
Talk to me and let me know!
And as always take care and stay healthy and safe!

Brandon Sanderson is on my list too! I don’t know how I never picked up one of his books before. Now I keep getting targeted adds for his kickstarter for „secret project books“ of his and I’m like, should I start with those and take a leap of faith? Hmmm… Naomi Novik is a good one though, I was really impressed by her Temeraire series! Napoleonic era but with dragons? Why had no one ever done that combo before? Yes please.

It’s so nice to hear I’m not the only one who hasn’t read Sanderson yet. *lol* I always feel so out of the loop because everyone is raving about him. XD If I’d get those offers I’d be totally tempted to accept them. I’ll definitely check out Novik’s Temeraire series now. Napoleonic era with dragons sounds amazing!

So far „Spinning Silver“ is pretty addicting. I like all the women power in it. XD He’s doing better, his symptoms are gone but he’s still positive so yeah. >_< Thanks for asking! ❤

Klune was on my list when I did this topic. I’ve heard so many great things about THE HOUSE ON THE CERULEAN SEA that I really need to read it.
I also like Brandon Sanderson, specifically his Mistborn series. I’m amazed at Sanderson’s world-building skills!
Happy TTT!
