Who is your favorite new-to-you author so far this year?
That's the wondrous question for this week's Book Blogger Hop. My very first thought was Justin Cronin because I'm absolutely loving The Passage which I'm reading right now thanks to Andi giving me permission to buy it. (Love you Andi). Cronin was followed quickly by Sarah Waters because Fingersmith was such a fantastic read. But then I got to thinking about how much I liked Paper Towns by John Green and the Knife of Never Letting Go series by Patrick Ness is just fantastic. But I also read two novels by David Ebershoff which were fantastic.
Seriously I could keep going. I've read 51 new-to-me authors so far this year, so picking one favorite would be quite impossible for me. We'll see which ones stand the test of time for me; although even that isn't too valid an indicator as I'm really not an "author person". I don't actively seek out very many authors.
What about you? Do you have a favorite new-to-you author this year? How many new authors have you read so far in 2010?
