Hi everybody, and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday! Today we’re talking about books we want to read by new to us authors, and I decided to highlight ten books by new to me authors that I recently added to my TBR. Let’s go!
A New Lease on Death by Oliva Blacke – a cozy supernatural mystery with a ghost? This sounds fun!
This Book Made Me Think of You by Libby Page – This sounds like a super emotional read and I don’t often pick up sad stories, but this sounds really good!
Every Time I Go On Vacation, Someone Dies by Catherine Mack – I really want to try more cozy mysteries and this sounds like a great summer read too.
Half City by Kate Golden – This fantasy sounds so good!
Whispers of the Deep by Emma Hamm – Emma Hamm is one of those authors I’ve been wanting to try for ages.
The Wolf King by Lauren Palphreyman – All I know is this has werewolves and a forbidden romance and a lot of people love it.
The Prison Healer by Lynette Noni – An older fantasy series that sounds amazing!
Scandal of the Summer by Alexandra Vasti – I always want to try more historical romance and this sounds like a great one.
The Games Gods Play by Abigail Owen – A deadly contest and Greek gods? Yes please.
Hopeless Necromantic by Shiloh Briar – Everything about this book sounds like it might become a new favorite of mine!
Tell Me:
Have you read any of these books yet? Or any other books by these authors?
The Prison Healer pulled me out of a reading slump 🙂
My TTT: https://laurieisreading.com/2026/07/14/top-ten-tuesday-books-by-new-to-me-authors-that-are-on-my-tbr/
Oh that’s a great argument, I’m always looking for great slump busters!
Great list! Lynette Noni and Shiloh Briar are new-to-me as well and I’m very keen to check out both their books. I read Emma Hamm for the first time last year and really enjoyed this series (I’m still not done but the ones I’ve read were fun)! I hope you enjoy these authors and their books whenever you get to them 🙂
So glad to hear you enjoyed this Emma Hamm series! I hope to get to it soon. And hope we’ll both love Lynette Noni and Shiloh Briar, whenever we get to their books 🙂
The Lynette Noni, Emma Hamm and Libby Page books are all on my TBR too – although none of them actually made it into my TTT post this week, oops!
So many books, so little time 😀 Hope we’ll both love those books whenever we get to them!
This Book Made Me Think of You is one I’ve had my eye on, too!

A friend was just telling me this morning how good Whispers of The Deep is. She’s read the first three books in the series in the past week.
Ooh good to know! It does sound really good!
Every time I go on vacation someone dies was so funny! I recommend the audiobook.
Oh thanks for letting me know, I’ve been looking for my next audiobook 🙂
