Top 5 Wednesday: Top Authors You Discovered This Year

Top 5 WednesdayIt’s Wednesday so that means that it’s Top 5 Wednesday and this week’s topic is top five authors I have discovered this year. To find more about Top 5 Wednesday’s you can join the goodreads group and discover the creator of the group Lainey. So let’s get started…




Number 5: Jenn Bennett and Nicola Yoon

Everything, EverythingNight OwlsI had to let these two authors share the fifth spot because this list would not be complete without them. I really enjoyed both their books this year and they were definitely authors that I wouldn't have found otherwise. Night Owls and Everything, Everything will definitely be on my favourite's list this year. 





Number 4: Jandy Nelson 

I'll Give You the SunAlthough I didn't discover Jandy Nelson as an author this year, I did discover her books this year and I read both The Sky Is Everywhere and I'll Give You The Sun this year and they were wonderful books. I am so happy I read her books this year!









Number 3: Sarah Crossan 

OneLike Jandy Nelson, I had known about Sarah Crossan's books before this year but this was the year that I finally read her book and I really loved it. One was one of my anticipated books of the year and it lived up to my expectations it was amazing. Sarah has to be the newest entry in this list because I only read her book last week. 







Number 2: Andrew Smith

Winger (Winger, #1)Again, it seems like everyone would have known about Winger as it is a very popular book but I only managed to read it this year and I really enjoyed it and I need to read more books by him, especially Stand Off. 









Number 1: Holly Bourne

Am I Normal Yet?Holly Bourne has got to me my favourite author that I have found this year. Everyone raved about her books so much and I should have listened. I read Am I Normal Yet? and it has to be one of my favourite books of this year. I am so glad I discovered your books!

Favourite Graphic Novels & Manga of 2021

As I have read a lot of books this year, I always want to give graphic novels and manga their own celebration as they often get overlooked and do make up a lot of my reading. I also find that even though I read a lot of them, it takes a lot to convince me and make it a new favourite. So here are my best... Heartstopper Volume 4 by Alice Oseman  Like everyone on the internet, I too am a massive Heartstopper fan and Volume 4 is no different. I love the relationship of Nick and Charlie and the side characters also make the series. This one also explores the way that mental health can impact romance and it still does justice to the story and does not fall into cliches. I am eagerly anticipating the final volume but I don't want it to be over.  The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott by Zoe Thorogood One of the last graphic novels I read this year and the one that has the second amount of hype, The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott also leaves a lasting impression. I love a good Briti

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

   * I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. * Title: The Great Godden  Author: Meg Rossoff Publisher: Bloomsbury  Source: NetGalley ( Bookshop UK |  Hive |  Goodreads  |  Storygraph ) Book Summary: Everyone talks about falling in love like it’s the most miraculous, life-changing thing in the world. Something happens, they say, and you know … That’s what happened when I met Kit Godden. I looked into his eyes and I knew. Only everyone else knew too. Everyone else felt exactly the same way. This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer – the summer when everything changes. In a holiday house by the sea, our watchful narrator sees everything, including many things they shouldn’t, as their brother and sisters, parents and older cousins fill hot days with wine and games and planning a wedding. Enter two brothers – irresistible, charming, languidly sexy Kit and surly, silent Hugo. Suddenly there’s

Mid Year Freakout Book Tag

So everyone seems to be doing this tag on Youtube this year so therefore I really wanted to do it and I've done it twice before but a long time ago. I am also finally doing this at the right time so this is good for me but I have already read over 100 books this year so there is a lot of choices to pick from!  This tag was created by ReadLikeWildFire (now Chami although the original video is no longer available for both) and  Ely Jayne . Let's get started... 1. Best book you've read this year so far? I actually have quite a few so it was hard to pick just one but one the basis that I want m ore people to read it, Deeplight by Frances Hardinge . This book is so special in the way that it deals with male characters and deafness as well as toxic friendships. I read it super quickly an highly recommend the audiobook and her writing is just amazing.  2. Best sequel you've read this year so far Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo or The Ask and The Answer by Patrick Ness .
