"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". This feature was created because they are particularly fond of lists at "The Broke and the Bookish".
It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.
Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to
share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of
other bloggers who share their lists here.
I found far fewer new authors that I really liked last year. I listed five in my Statistics: Sara Nisha Adams, Julia Alvarez, Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz, Mariana Leky, Maren Uthaug. But there are a few others I also liked, so here we go.
Alvarez, Julia "In the Time of the Butterflies" - 1994
Boschwitz, Ulrich Alexander "The Passenger" aka "The Fugitive" (GE: Der Reisende) - 1939
Fallada, Hans "Every Man Dies Alone" (GE: Jeder stirbt für sich allein) - 1947
Greywoode, Josephine (ed.) "Why We Read. 70 Writers on Non-Fiction" - 2022
Leky, Mariana "What You Can See From Here" (GE: Was man von hier aus sehen kann) - 2017
Menasse, Robert "The Capital" (GE: Die Hauptstadt) - 2017
Schroeder, Steffen "Was alles in einem Menschen sein kann. Begegnung mit einem Mörder" [What can be in a person. Encountering a murderer] - 2017
Shaw, Karl "Royal Babylon: The Alarming History of European Royalty" - 1999
Uthaug, Maren "Before there were Birds" (DK: Hvor der er fugle/Hannahs Lied) - 2017
📚 Happy Reading! 📚
Why We Read. 70 Writers on Non-Fiction sounds like a book I'd enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI just said the same to Emma, Deb. I think every avid reader will enjoy this.
DeleteGreat list! I agree with Deb Nance - the book on Why We Read sounds super intriguing. I loved your stats post, too, btw. Thanks for putting all that together. :) My TTT is here: https://thestorysanctuary.com/top-ten-tuesday-best-books-by-new-authors-i-read-in-2022/
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kasey. Check out what I said to Deb ^^. I love lists, just don't always have the time and energy but try to do it somehow in time.
DeleteThanks also for your link. I'll see you on your page.
In the Time of Butterflies sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteIt's a very powerful book, Lydia, not the easiest to digest but certainly worth reading.
DeleteAll new to me here! I'm going to your post on Why We Read. Somehow, I must have missed it when you published it.
ReplyDeleteAnd possibly a few new to you in my list as well: https://wordsandpeace.com/2023/01/24/top-ten-new-authors-i-discovered-in-2022/
Thanks, Emma. We can often miss posts but it's good that the good ones turn up again at some point, right?
DeleteAnd, same as for you, they were all new to me, as well, of course. ;)
Looks like you found a bunch of great books this year!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deanna. And some good authors I can try again.
DeleteNice list! I hope you find a bunch more this year!
ReplyDeleteWith so many other bloggers recommending books, I am sure I will, Cindy. Thanks.
DeleteI enjoyed IN THE TIME OF BUTTERFLIES when I read it, but it's been so long now that I can't even remember what it was about! THE READING LIST is one I've been meaning to read. I have a copy of it - just haven't gotten to it yet. Glad you found so many great new authors in 2022!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Well, Susan. Go back to my review, I'm sure you will remember right away.
DeleteThe Reading List is nice, a book about books. You will love it, I am sure.
Adams' The Reading List is on my TBR list and a book I definitely plan on reading this year. It looks so good. :D
ReplyDeleteAs I just said to Susan ^^, a book about books is always good. Enjoy, Lark.
DeleteInteresting picks! I also have The Reading List, by Sara Nisha Adams, on my Top Ten Tuesday list this week.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised, Lectrice. I haven't heard from anyone who didn't like it.
DeleteI hope we enjoy the book as well.
DeleteSo do I. It isn't just a book about books which is lovely but also about the people. I really, really liked it.
DeleteLooks like it was a good reading year for you! Thank you for participating in TTT, and for leaving me a comment. :)
ReplyDeleteThere are always some good books in every year, don't you think Jana? And thanks so much for organizing this. I love TTT.
DeleteGreat list, most of them new to me.
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised, Lisbeth. All the other lists that I saw, there were only a few authors I even heard about.
DeleteThe only author from that list I'm familiar with is Fallada. Which is no *bad* thing... [grin]
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not, Kitten. He was new to me as a reader though I certainly heard about him a lot.
DeleteI also found fewer new authors last year, but then I also read less books so I suppose it was bound to happen.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2023/01/24/top-ten-tuesday-404/
That's alright, Jo. We will always go back to authors we like whenever we find another book by them and we won't like all the new ones we find, so we will only have a small amount every year anyway.
DeleteI love how varied your list is!
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Thanks, Aymee, I have a lot of interests and like to read about different subjects all the time, so my lists will always be of quite a few various genres.
DeleteI have The Reading List on MY reading list and hopefully, I'll get to it this year! I hope you discover many new authors to love this year :)
ReplyDeleteI wish you good luck with that, Dini. It really is worth approaching.
DeleteI am familiar with Julia Alvarez as I read her novel, 'How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents', sometime in the 1990s... But the other authors are new to me.
ReplyDeleteWell, Lisa, they were all new to me, as well. I had heard of Hans Fallada, he is a well-known classic author in Germany. And the book by Julia Alvarez had been on my wishlist for a couple of years already. But the others ...
