Top Ten Favorite New-To-Me Authors I Read In 2012:
I discovered the Eden’s Root Trilogy earlier this year and it’s amazing! This trilogy completely sucked me in and kept me guessing; I’m excited for the last book in the trilogy, Emergence, to come out soon!
After I read 52 Reasons to Hate My Father, it became one of my favorite books and Jessica became one of my favorite authors. Jessica wrote so many lines that were powerful, funny, and perfectly described how I’ve felt at times. Her next book, Unremembered, is one of my most anticipated reads of 2013!
3. Elise Stokes
Elise’s books are packed with action-adventure, hilarious scenes, and enough surprises to keep you guessing! I absolutely adore the plotline and characters of the Cassidy Jones Adventures and can’t wait to see what happens next! You can see my interview with Elise here.
Okay, so I’m kind of bending the rules on this one: How My Summer Went Up in Flames comes out next year. However, I received an ARC and this book has got to be one of my most favorite books I’ve read all year. Jennifer wrote a fantastic story and I loved the main character’s voice; you’ll want to buy this book as soon as it comes out!
I loved Scarlet and how the main character was such a strong, kick-butt girl! I just heard the announcement from A. C.’s blog that Scarlet will be a trilogy so there will be two more Scarlet books; I’m very excited to see the synopsis for the next book! You can read my interview with A. C. here.
6. Alberto Corral
My Monster Burrufu has got to be the most charming, whimsical, adorable, and heartfelt book I’ve read all year. It’s the sweetest book ever, perfect for anyone wanting a fun book with a lot of heart. You can see my review of My Monster Burrufu here.
I’m so glad that I read Kathy’s Don’t Expect Magic, it’s become one of my favorite YA books! Kathy’s created such a fun and sarcastic voice for the main character and I’m early awaiting her next book, Who Needs Magic!
8. Jane Singer
The language in Alias Dragonfly was as rich as the historical setting and the plot was full of adventure. Jane filled this book with excitement and romance, all in a historical setting. I’ll definitely keep my eye out for more books from this author!
Lizzie’s writing was so hilarious and heartfelt, and she created such wonderful characters! I just adored her writing style; I can’t wait to see what Lizzie will write next, I’ll definitely be picking it up!
10. Elise Broach
Elise’s books Masterpiece and Shakespeare’s Secret were such fantastic reads that I definitely recommend!
Who were your favorite new-to-you authors you read in 2012?

I “discovered” Jessica Brody as a new fave author this year, too! Did you know she plants “easter eggs” in her books. Each novel makes a reference to a previous. Love that! I’ll put HOW MY SUMMER WENT UP IN FLAMES on my list! Thanks!
I didn’t know she did that with all her books, that’s really neat! I did spot a ‘My Life Undecided’ reference in 53 Reasons to Hate My Father. :) Thanks for stopping by & commenting!
I’m dying to read Scarlet and Don’t Expect Magic! I hope to add both of these authors to my favourite new authors of 2013 list next year ;)
They’re both great reads! :) Thanks for stopping by & commenting!
Wow, there are so many on here I haven’t heard of… Remarkable and Don’t Expect Magic look cute!
I can’t wait to see what these authors write next! :) Thanks for stopping by & commenting!
Great list! I haven’t read any of them, but I’ve got Don’t Expect Magic on my TBR list. Hope I’ll get to read it soon. Now I’ve also added How My Summer Went Up in Flames to my list – it sounds really good and funny.
Thanks for stopping by my blog :)
I hope you enjoy them! :) Thanks for stopping by & commenting!
Wow! These look great! I have been wanting to read Don’t Expect Magic for a while now :) The others I TBR’d immediately. LOVE the list.
Yay! I hope you enjoy the books! :) Thanks so much for stopping by & commenting!
I love your blog title. :) I haven’t read any of these, but some of them look very exciting!
Thanks so much!!! :)
I haven’t read any of these, but have a few on my TBR pile. So glad you liked them!

Jessica Brody seems awesome and 52 Reasons to Hate My Father needs to have become a movie (perhaps made for TV?) yesterday!
I absolutely agree! :) Thanks for stopping by & commenting!
Your blog is so cute! I love the title of it. You have a great taste in books, too!
Thank you so much, that’s so nice of you to say!!! :)
Jessica Brody just missed my Top Ten! I loved 52 Reasons, it would probably make a cute direct to TV movie.

I think so too! :) Thank you so much for the follow, I’m following you back now!
Thanks for the follow! I love your blog. The Alice in Wonderland theme is awesome! That book has my favorite quote, “If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see? “
Thank you so much!!! That’s one of my favorite quotes too! :)
You have got a LOT of new to me authors on your list! Whew. I’m overwhelmed!
Thanks for stopping by & commenting!!!
Thanks for stopping by my TTT. I haven’t read any of the authors you listed. Definitely need to check some of them out.

Most of those authors are brand new to me, I did come across the one by Lizzy K Foley, and thought it would be good to read with my kids…I may just pick it up next time I’m at the bookstore!

I reeeeally want to read 52 Reasons to Hate My Father. I saw it at the book store a couple weeks ago and was totally drooling.
Also, I’m looking forward to How My Summer Went Up in Flames. The story seems so interesting. Definitely on my radar.
I love those 2 books! :) Thanks for stopping by & commenting!

Jessica Brody’s books are so fun, although I still need to read 52 Reasons! Don’t Expect Magic looks so cute, and I’ve been dying to read Scarlet, since I loved Robin Hood as a kid. Great list! (:
