I already shared my favourite “new to me” authors of 2022, so I thought it would be fun to put together a list of authors I haven’t read from and whose work I would love to explore in 2023!Isabel AllendeI didn’t realize just how extensive Isabel Allende’s backlist truly is! I will probably start with Violeta because it is the one that has been recommended to me the most, but I am hoping I will love it and want to try more from her. If you are a fan of hers, I would love any recommendations of where to go next!S.A. ChakrabortyI have been curious about S.A. Chakraborty for years now and I know a lot of people adore the Daevabad series. I think I will be reading her 2023 release, The Adventures of Amina al-Shirafi first and hopefully that will finally motivate me to read The City of Brass!Roshani ChokshiMuch like S.A. Chakraborty, Roshani Chokshi’s books have been on my radar for years and I will be starting with her 2023 release! The Last Tale of the Flower Bride sounds like something I will love because I am all about Gothic fiction.P. Djèlí ClarkP. Djeli Clark has been recommended to me many times and I have a feeling I will love his work. I am going to start with Ring Shout because it is a novella and I have the audiobook downloaded already.Darcy CoatesA lot of my bookish friends adore Darcy Coates, so I want to try her stuff! I have a feeling that her books fit perfectly into the genre of horror that I like. I am sad because her books used to be on Kindle Unlimited but they aren’t there anymore. I do have Gallows Hill downloaded though, so I hope to get to it soon.Louise ErdrichI include Louise Erdrich any time I make a list like this one! It is ridiculous that I haven’t read from her yet, especially since I have three of her books sitting on my TBR cart. I still think she will become a favourite!Jennifer HillierI have become so picky about thrillers lately, but I have this feeling that Jennifer Hillier will work for me. I have The Butcher downloaded from Kindle Unlimited, so I hope to get to it soon!Victoria LeeVictoria Lee has been recommended to me many times and I received a copy of The Fever King for Christmas! A Shot in the Dark is her 2023 release, and it looks fantastic!Rebecca RossI love atmospheric writing and I have a feeling that is exactly what I will get with Rebecca Ross! A River Enchanted has been getting amazing reviews, but I own a copy of Dreams Lie Beneath, so I plan to read that one first.Django WexlerAshes of the Sun and Blood of the Chosen are the first two books in the Burningblade and Silvereye series, both of which I own. I didn’t realize just how many books Django Wexler has published and many of them intrigue me, but I think The Thousand Names is the one I will try if I read and love Burningblade and Silvereye.YouTube | Instagram | Twitter
