Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl (http://www.thatartsyreadergirl.com/) in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
I’m trying to do more on my blog this year so I occasionally plan to participate in Top Ten Tuesday. I won’t do it every week since sometimes I can’t think of any answers for some of the topics!
In 2021 I read books by 28 new-to-me authors.
My ten favorite new authors in 2021
Science Fiction
- Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell
Fantasy
- The Case of the Dragon-Bone Engine by Galadriel Coffeen
- A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow
- The Library of the Dead by T.L. Huchu
- The Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore and Bar by Seana Kelly
- The Lord of Stariel by A.J. Lancaster
Mystery
- Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala
- The Girl Beneath the Sea by Andrew Mayne
- Cry Dance by Kirk Mitchell
Romance
- Much Ado About You by Samantha Young
Who were your favorite new authors in 2021?
Notes from a Readerholic 
I’m so curious about Arsenic and Adobe.
I look forward to reading your future Top Ten Tuesday posts whenever you decide to join in. 🙂

I keep seeing Winter’s Orbit everywhere and may have to give that a try. Mia Manansala made my list too. I loved Arsenic and Adobo. I’m looking forward to reading her next book soon. I also read A Spindle Splintered this year and enjoyed it. I had read Harrow’s The Thousand Doors of January previously and absolutely loved it. I hope to read The Library of the Dead this year since I missed it last year. It sounds so good! Thank you for sharing your list!

Sadly the only author I have read (and met) is Samantha Young. I have plans to read Andrew Mayne and Alix Harrow though and own some of their books.

I’m enjoying the Mayne series as well. Well, I liked the first one and have been meaning to read the second one…just haven’t gotten around to it yet!
Happy TTT!

I just read The Spindle Splintered last week, but I read Once and Future Witches last year and loved it! And I have Arsenic and Adobo on my TBR.
