1. Rainbow Rowell
2. Jenny Han
3. Emery Lord
4. Morgan Matson
5. Kody Keplinger

Which authors were new to you in 2014?
Oooo yes! Some of these are my favs and some I still need to try as well!
ReplyDeleteGreat list and yay for trying new authors and loving their work!
Yay and lots of debut authors next year! So exciting!
DeleteBelieve it or not, I own books by all those authors, but I have not read any of them! I've even met a few of them. I'll be here hanging my head in shame and digging through by tbr piles. Seriously though, it's a great list and I have a feeling a few of these authors will be on my list next year.

Oh my, you need to get on it right away! All of these authors write excellent stories!!
DeleteOoh so many awesome authors! Both Sarah J. Maas and Morgan Matson are on my list :) Sarah J. Maas has become one of my all time fav authors, her ToG series is just awesomeness! And Susan Ee! The Angelfall trilogy is so good :D Great list!
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd be excited for Susan Ee Alma! Less than six months till the third book comes out! *cheers
DeleteI loved Jenny Han's To All the Boys, Susan Es's Angelfall, and of course Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass. Such great picks this week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alicia! We're all just eagerly anticipating the sequels!
DeleteThe only author on your list that I've read is Sarah j Maas. The others are all new to me as well, so I'll check them out.
ReplyDeleteOhh I hope you end up reading a few! They're all so great~
DeleteI also discovered Morgan Matson this year, woo hoo!! and Amy & Roger's Epic Detour is probably one of my fav contemporary novels ever. I loved that one so so much! I really need to read Angelfall though, now that is gonna be a trilogy and not six books I can officially start reading it ^^
ReplyDeleteYes! Amy & Roger is my favourite road trip book. You definitely need to try Angelfall :D
DeleteJenny Han and Paula Stokes are two authors that I also discovered this year! Along with Danielle L Jensen that was one of my fave debuts of the year!
ReplyDeleteThey're all just so amazing! I'm so looking forward to read more stuff from time in 2015~
DeleteI'm reading my first Morgan Matson right now!!! I also LOVE Jenny Han and Rainbow Rowell. To All the Boys is one of my fav contemporaries I've read in a LOOONG time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My TTT
Oh oh I hope you're enjoying it! I'll definitely be by to see what you think!
DeleteOOoh nice! LOVED Angelfall! World After is awesome too! Can't wait for the third book! Still need to read Stolen Songbird myself. And sadly ToG just wasn't for me, but I am ever so eager for her new series next year!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
ACOTAR is all the hype right now. I'm so drooling over the ARCs!
DeleteI have yet to read anything by Rainbow Rowell, but have several of her books on my reading wishlist!!! Here's a link to my TTT for the week: http://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2014/12/top-ten-tuesday-top-ten-new-to-me.html
ReplyDeleteFangirl is my favourite contemporary, you must read it!! Haha hope you'll love it :D
DeleteSarah J. Maas made my list too. I love Rainbow Rowell, I read Fangirl last year but all her other books this year. I still need to read Morgan Matson and The DUFF. Great list!
ReplyDeleteCassi @ My Thoughts Literally
Thanks Cassi~ I hope you enjoy The DUFF. I know people have very different opinions on that one.
DeleteEmery Lord should've made my list, for sure! Good ones, Eileen. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she'll make other lists of yours :D
DeleteI can't help but to get all giddy and girly whenever I see a fellow bookworm list authors known to me! Did you so enjoy Angelfall & Fangirl & Stolen Songbird!? :)
ReplyDeleteHehee yep, I loved all three of those books! Can't wait for the sequels~ Did you hear Rainbow Rowell is making Carry On a real thing?! So excited~
DeleteYesss. Susan Ee & Jenny Han were on my list, too. I mean A. the stories & writing are just amazing & B. diversity for the win :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed!!!!!
DeleteDefinitely some of my favorite authors! I absolutely adore Sarah J. Maas and Danielle Jensen - they are definitely making their mark in the fantasy genre. Thanks for sharing, and great choices! :D
ReplyDelete~Zoe @ Stories on Stage
We have great taste hahaha ;) Thanks for coming by Zoe!
DeleteThis is like my "need to read" list! I have to read Paula Stokes, and Sarah J. Maas, and Danielle Jensen, and Rainbow Rowell (seriously, how have I not!?), Morgan Matson, and Emery Lord. My goodness, I better get readinG!
ReplyDeleteBut Jenny Han was on my list, and I adore Susan Ee! GREAT list!
Yes you better get reading! And I will change the title of this post to Shannon's Need to Read? Hahaha hope you'll love them all :)
DeleteThanks for sharing Eileen
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Debbie :)
DeleteOh. My. Gosh! I forgot to add Kody Keplinger to my TTT. :( I read her book A Midsummer's Nightmare and I loved it. I need to read Duff! Soon. Very soon. Rainbow Rowell made my list with Eleanor and Park. I'm sure Morgan Matson would have made my list had I read either of her books that I own (Amy and Roger's Epic Detour and Since You've Been Gone).
ReplyDeleteI want to read those books by Emery Lord (The Start of Me and You is one of my most anticipated reads) by Paula Stokes and Sarah j. Mass, though I've already started ToG. Fangirl's also on my TBR. I read To All The Boys I've Loved Before.
Definitely read The DUFF!! I think I've read all of her books so far, except maybe the newest one but I've enjoyed them all! Fangirl, Since You've Been Gone, just read them all!
Delete(As you know) I just finished Angelfall. I want to read Throne of Glass soon though and I've heard good things about Stolen Songbird.
ReplyDeleteI read only new authors this year, so it was really hard to make my list.
All great choices!! I sure you'll enjoy them all~
DeleteRainbow Rowell, Kody Keplinger, Susan Ee, and Sarah J. Maas for me as well:D
ReplyDeleteYay!! We have excellent taste in books ;)
DeleteGreat choices! Rainbow Rowel, Morgan Matson, Colleen Hoover (her early stuff), Susan Ee, and Danielle Jensen are favorites of mine too. :)
ReplyDeleteThey sure write great books! :D
