Top Ten Tuesday: New-to-Me Authors I Read for the First Time in 2022
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
This week’s TTT topic is Top 10 New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2022. I read a lot of great new authors last year, especially in the romance genre, and today I’m sharing my favorites from the bunch. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more from all of them.

I really enjoyed them all. 🙂
I haven’t read any of the authors you listed here yet, but I’m hoping to get to Trish Doller this year!

I’ve been really enjoying her Beck Sisters series. 🙂
Trish Doller made my list, too! I’ve read Lindsey Kelk before, but The Christmas Wish has made me a huge fan.
I really need to read more from Lindsey Kelk!
I cannot even remember when I read my first Shalvis book, but I have read thirty nine of her books. I see other faves too – Jimenez, Birchall, Kennedy, Doller. I am always excited for new releases by them
I really want to dive into Shalvis’ backlist but can’t decide where to start since she has so many books, lol.
I also discovered Alice Feeney, and I’m so glad I did! I can’t wait to read Rock Paper Scissors 😁
That’s such a great, twisty read!
I’ve got quite a few of these authors on my TBR and they’re going to be new-to-me whenever I read them. Hopefully, that’ll be this year 😂 Great list!

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did when you finally get to read them. 🙂
I didn’t know that Bridgerton was a series of books. I thought it was just a tv show. Interesting!

Yeah, it’s actually a huge book series. I think there are a lot 10 books now, including prequels, etc.
I love Kennedy, Shalvis, Liese, and Mallery! I also had Jimenez on my list for this year. I’m glad you found so many great authors.

Thank you! Jimenez quickly became a favorite last year. 🙂
Same! I binged her books. Now waiting on the new one.

Alice Feeney was new to me this year also. I have been a long time reader of Jill Shalvis, Elle Kennedy, and Susan Mallory.
Anne – Books of My Heart recently posted…🎧 The Backup Plan by Jill Shalvis @JillShalvis @andi_arndt @WmMorrowBooks @avonbooks @HarperAudio #LOVEAUDIOBOOKS
I really want to read more of Shalvis’ books but can’t decide where to start since she has so many.
Julia Quinn was also new to me in 2022 🙂 And a lot of the others on your list are still on my TBR, like Abby Jimenez and Chloe Liese.
I think you would really enjoy Abby Jimenez’s books.
I definitely want to try Feeney (especially Daisy Darker).

That’s such a good one. I can’t wait to read more from her.
They all have great covers! Have a great week.
Cindy Davis recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday-Authors I discovered in 2022
Thanks, you too!
Looks like you made some great author discoveries in 2022! I haven’t read any of them, which isn’t surprising for the romance books. Feeny is on my list of authors to try since I love mysteries and thrillers.
Happy TTT!

I really enjoyed both of the Feeney books I read last year and am excited to read more from her.
You’re in for a treat with Jill Shalvis’ back list, Suzanne💜

I’m excited to read more from her. I just need to figure out where to start since she has so many books, haha.
I love Trish Doller’s books! And Chloe Liese was a new author for me last year, too, but I can’t wait to read more of her books. 😀

I’m excited to read more from Chloe Liese too. I have so many of her books on my TBR.
We seem to read a lot of the same books, as I have read 7 of these authors. Great list, Suzanne.

I have not read any of those authors but I’ve seen them around.
Steph@paigesofnovels recently posted…Top Ten (Eleven) Tuesday- New to Me Authors in 2022
I really enjoyed all of them. 🙂
Jill Shalvis is the only author on your list I’ve read before, and I really do enjoy her books. I would like to try the others though. Abby Jimenez’s books and Alice Feeney’s books sound really appealing to me!

I really want to read more from Shalvis. 🙂
I’ve not read any of these authors (romance not being a genre I like to read) but I’m glad you enjoyed their books! Hope you find more great new authors this year 🙂

Glad you discovered Katy Birchall in 2022! I’ve enjoyed her books too, and can’t wait for more 😁.

I really enjoyed everything I read from her last year. 🙂
Oh, I love Katy Birchall. The Secret Bridesmaid is a favorite of mine. I want to read more from Alice Feeney too.

I’ve been wanting to dive into Bridgerton myself!

I can’t decide if I prefer the books or the Netflix series, but both are fun. 🙂
It’s such a great feeling to discover a new author. Especially if they have a nice backlist. 🙂 I read my first by Jimenez recently and I’m sure I’ll be reading more.
Tanya @ Girl Plus Books recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday: Nice To Meet You | New-To-Me Authors in 2022
Jimenez quickly became a favorite of mine last year and I ended up reading 4 of her books.
Alice Feeney was new-to-me as well. Daisy Darker was a page turner! Love Jill Shalvis and Trish Dollar too.

I really can’t wait to read more from Alice Feeney. I need to tackle her backlist now.
