Top Ten Tuesday is currently hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2022.
StoryGraph tells me I discovered 134 new-to-me authors last year! It was hard to limit my choices for this list, but here are 10 authors who stuck out to me and the books I read by them last year:
- Emma Hardy (Teeny Tiny Gardening; Small Summer Gardens; Tiny Tabletop Gardens; The Winter Garden)
- Emily Henry (Beach Read; People We Meet on Vacation; Book Lovers)
- Tamsyn Muir (Gideon the Ninth; Harrow the Ninth; Nona the Ninth)
- Becky Chambers (The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet; A Closed and Common Orbit)
- Bonnie Garmus (Lessons in Chemistry)
- Katja Swift & Ryn Midura (Herbal Medicine for Beginners)
- Fire Lyte (The Dabbler’s Guide to Witchcraft)
- Everina Maxwell (Winter’s Orbit)
- Kirsten Miller (The Change)
- Robin Wall Kimmerer (Braiding Sweetgrass)

Wow! I read 117 books by new-to-me authors last year and thought that was a lot. 134 is a ton. I haven’t read any of the ones on your list, but Emily Henry is one I want to try soon. Everyone seems to love her books.
Happy TTT!

I loved Winter’s Orbit and I’m so excited to read the next one by that author – I read it in 2021 or it definitely would have been on this list. I also agree with you about Bonnie Garmus, Becky Chambers and Emily Henry, we clearly have reading tastes in common. Braiding Sweetgrass is one I keep hearing I need to read.

Yes, I need to get to the latest Everina Maxwell book too. I adored her characters in Winter’s Orbit. I just checked out The Galaxy, and the Ground Within from my library – I saw your recent review of it and am very excited to read it! Braiding Sweetgrass is a stunningly beautiful book. I hope you like it if you read it.
