I spoke about the authors who I discovered in 2021 in a previous post, so I thought I would mix it up this week and share some of the authors I hope to discover in 2022.
Ruta Sepetys
Are you tired of me talking about how excited I am to read Ruta Sepetys? It just needs to happen already. I have this feeling that when I read Salt to the Sea, I am going to fall down the rabbit hole of reading all of her books. I have a signed edition of The Fountain of Silence, which I would love to get to soon, and I Must Betray You comes out in February and sounds amazing!
Isabel Allende
I recently heard Ashley from The Bookish Realm speak about Violeta by Isabel Allende and I just loved the way she spoke about it and I have a feeling it will be something I love. It is the author’s 2022 release and it actually comes out today! I added A Long Petal of the Sea to my TBR when it first came out and remember being intrigued by it. She also has an extensive backlist that I can explore!
T. Kingfisher
T. Kingfisher is an author who I saw everywhere in 2021. I have really been getting into horror, so both The Hollow Places and The Twisted Ones are calling out to me. Nettle & Bone is her 2022 release and it seems to getting some buzz already. I am fascinatedby the fact that her novels are horror fantasy, which is not a genre I have really explored.
Constance Sayers
I will be reading A Witch in Time for my 12 Challenge, and I just have this feeling that I am going to love it. Constance Sayers has only one other published novel, The Ladies of the Secret Circus, which I am also curious about. It seems as though Sayers’ novels are written for me- the synopses for both of them have so many of my buzzwords.
Ashley Winstead
I meant to read In My Dreams I Hold a Knife last fall. It seemed as though everyone was reading and loving it at the time! I really want to get to it this year and then also try both of Ashley Winstead’s 2022 releases. Fool Me Once is actually a romance and The Last Housewife is another thriller. I always love when authors explore different genres!
Nnedi Okorafor
Nnedi Okorafor is an author who I have been meaning to read from for years now! All of her premises appeal to me and I am always here for a shorter SciFi. I am thinking that I will start with Noor because I do have the audiobook, though the third book the Akata Witch series comes out in October, so it would be great to read the first two before then. Honestly, I just want to read it all!
Emily Lloyd-Jones
Look how amazing these covers look together! The Bone Houses has been on my TBR for years and something about it has always called to me. It is a Ya horror fantasy and I think there are zombies? I am so ready for it! I want to finally read it before The Drowned Woods comes out in August. I know that Emily Lloyd-Jones has a few other books as well!
Louise Erdrich
Louise Erdrich is an author whose work I just know I am going to adore! I own a copy of The Night Watchman and The Plague of Doves, so I want to read those first, Though her newest release, The Sentence, really appeals to me. Erdrich is another author who I can see myself falling down a rabbit hole with and wanting to read a lot of her backlist.
Jennifer Saint
The covers for Ariadne and Elektra are beyond gorgeous! I have actually preordered a copy of Elektra, which comes out in April. I really should read Ariadne before that! I am so in the mood for some Greek mythology.
Victoria Lee
A Lesson in Vengeance was one of my most anticipated books of 2021 but I just never got to it! I heard mixed things, but I have been seeing more and more positive reviews lately! I have also heard that her Feverwake series is incredible.
