Hi everybody and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday! Today I’m taking a look back at last year and highlighting the new-to-me authors I discovered in 2025.
Honestly, I didn’t think I’d get to 10 new-to-me authors for 2025 because I re-read a lot and also focused on new releases by known authors. BUT I actually got more than ten in the end, so go me! 🙂
I cut the list down to my 10 favorite new-to-me authors of 2025, so let’s go!
Tell Me:
Have you read any of these books too?
Or other books by these authors?
I hear lots of good about Sarah’s and each time I see it on a list, I’m reminded I still never read much about it. Glad you found some great new authors last year. 🙂
It’s definitely a fun, cozy read. I hope you’ll love it if you ever decide to try it! 🙂
Brigitte Knightley would be top of my list, I can’t wait til the second book is published.
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
I have loved Brigitte Knightley books, but I need to catch up on her latest releases.
I still need to read I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a RomCom. 🙂
It’s quite out there, but definitely a unique read 🙂
I have read books by three of the authors on your list!
I’m glad we have a few in common!
Three of yours are new favorites for me too Lindsey
I’m glad to hear that Sophie 🙂
I almost put Rachel Reid on my list but I also surprisingly had more than 10 and it was so hard to choose from! 🫣 I also read Navessa Allen last year and that book was super fun! It was more enjoyable than I thought I’d find it, haha. I hope you discover more awesome new-to-you authors in 2026, Lindsey 🙂
It’s the best when you have more than 10 favorites for sure! And I am glad I wasn’t the only one being pleasantly surprised by Navessa Allen last year 🙂
The Spellshop has been on my TBR for a while. I’m hoping to get to it this year. I hope you discover many amazing authors this year too 😊.

Yay! I recently read Dire Bound and Heated Rivalry. I really enjoyed both and want to read more by the authors!
Yay, two of my favorite 2025 discoveries, so I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed them 🙂
I haven’t read any of these, but I do recognize several. I hope you continue to enjoy reading these authors.

Thanks so much! If you end up reading one of these authors, I hope you’ll love them too!
I really need to give that Stephanie Burgis series a shot! And Heated Rivalry… Looks like a good list!
Hope you’ll love them if you decide to try them out!
I’m so curious for Heated Rivalry because of the hype!
It’s very hyped indeed, but I thought it was definitely worth the hype 🙂 Hope you’ll love it too!
Yay for so many new authors, which gives you a lot more stories to look forward to 🙂 Have a great week!
So true, it’s always great to discover new favorite authors! 🙂
I’ve read so many of these authors!! I really need to read Dire Bound and Heated Rivalry. I just need to know since everyone is talking about HR before watching the show! To many more amazing authors in 2026!
Dire Bound and Heated Rivalry were two of my absolute favorite reads of 2025! I hope you’ll love them too if you decide to give them a try 🙂
I think these are all new to me, too, so thank you for sharing!
If you try one of these authors this year, I hope you’ll end up loving them too 🙂
