I encountered some incredible new authors in 2020, a few of them in interesting ways! We read Leslie Gray Streeter's memoir in our book club because one of our members knows her sister and brother-in-law, and we even got to meet her over Zoom. I heard of Gretchen McCulloch's book because a former colleague of mine reviewed it on LinkedIn. I saw someone talking about Junauda Petrus' book on Twitter, commented about how awesome I thought it was, and my husband bought it for me for my birthday! I won Amy Meyerson's second book, The Imperfects, through an Instagram contest, and it came with the sweetest note from her. Overall, I love being open to new bookish experiences and authors, whether it be debuts, new-to-me books, books in translation, or classics. Check out my list--I recommend them all!
Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!
