I started hearing about Uprooted this year or last, and then somebody recommended Spinning Silver to me this year, so I went ahead and read it. And then I found the Temeraire books,which I'm still going through!
2. Rachel Kadish
I picked The Weight of Ink up by accident in the library because I thought it was a different book! Would definitely read another Rachel Kadish book!
3. Ann Patchett
An author I've been meaning to read for years, and in 2018, I read both her collection of essays This Is The Story of a Happy Marriage, and her novel Commonwealth.
4. Becky Albertalli
I've been hearing about Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda for a while (I guess there's a movie?), but I was really captivated by the cover/description of Leah on the Offbeat, and so when I saw them in the library, I just read both!
5. Jenny Han
To All The Boys I've Loved Before had kind of been on my radar for a while, and then the movie came out in August, so I decided I'd better read it and I totally fell for Lara Jean and had to read them all!6. Rena Rossner
I saw the cover of Sisters of the Winter Wood in the library and read the description, and fairytales + Jews+ Goblin Market=a book I had to read and I'm glad I did!
7. Nina LaCour
I'd vaguely heard of her, but I found We Are Okay in the library and I fell in love with her beautiful writing. I want to read her other books for sure.
8. Elaine Castillo
I saw America Is Not the Heart around on some debut lists, but I could not have imagined how good it was!
9. Elizabeth Acevedo
I saw The Poet X on a lot of lists, and then I saw Elizabeth Acevedo at the National Book Festival, and I bought it right there!
10. Becky Chambers
Her books always sounded perfect for me, and I finally got around to them in 2018, just in time for the third book to come out! Now I need more!
