This week’s Top Ten Tuesday from That Artsy Reader Girl invites us to share the best new-to-us authors we read last year. In 2024, I read 52 books, which had 51 distinct authors/editors. Of those, 30 were either debut authors or authors whose work I hadn’t yet read. Here are the ten whose works I liked best:
- Carsten Henn: The Door-to-Door Bookstore
- Katya Balen: October, October
- Simon Van Booy: Sipsworth
- Karen Hesse: Out of the Dust
- Emily Habeck: Shark Heart
- Rufi Thorpe: Margo’s Got Money Troubles
- Valérie Perrin: Fresh Water for Flowers
- Nadi Reed Perez: The Afterlife of Mal Caldera
- E. Alix Harrow: The Ten Thousand Doors of January
- Sarah Hogle: Just Like Magic
Half of those are realistic fiction and half are speculative fiction/fantasy.
How about you? Which authors did you discover last year whom you would recommend?

I read Alix Harrow’s Starling House and really enjoyed it. Have to pick up some of her other stuff soon.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you.

Comment by Anne@HeadFullofBooks 01.28.25 @ 2:00 pmI’m glad you enjoyed reading The Door-to-Door Bookstore. I loved that story and can’t wait to read more by Henn.
