Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme by The Artsy Reader. This week’s topic is New-to-Me Authors I Read In 2018. This topic is pretty easy for me – I went through a period where I wasn’t really reading much due to life getting in the way. Since I didn’t read much for almost five years, some really great authors debuted and I was lucky enough to get to read some of them last year.
- Andy Weir (The Martian)
- Ernest Cline (Ready Player One)
- Bob Thomas (Walt Disney: An American Original)
- Gail Honeyman (Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine)
- Liane Moriarty (Big Little Lies)
- Josie Silver (One Day in December)
- Sally Thorne (The Hating Game)
- Michelle Obama (this one almost feels like cheating to include, but Becoming was one of the best books I read last year)
- Nicola Yoon (The Sun is Also a Star)
- E. Lockhart (We Were Liars)

It’s not quite Tuesday here yet, so mine isn’t posted but I enjoyed your list and have read a good chunk of those books/authors as well.
SAME, this list will also be pretty easy for me to create, because I didn’t get back into reading until the end of 2017/beginning of 2018! This is a really good list & a lot of these books are on my TBR!
I really need to read Michelle Obamas book!
Me too – I adore her!
i also like the hating game when i read it! and i need to pick up the sun is also a star asap since i’ve had the book for a while 😀 great list!
The Martian was such a good story. I’m still on a very long waiting list at the library for Becoming, but I think I’ll get to read it in a few months.
This is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
I really loved We Were Liars, and I want to read Big Little Lies, Becoming, and Eleanor Oliphant.

These are all new to me also.
I really enjoyed Big Little Lies! I want to read We Were Liars soon.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Oooh I love E. Lockhart! Ernest Cline was a first for me in 2018 as well!
Interesting top, The Martian is intriguing for me maybe will pick up the audiobook later
Great list! I loved One Day in December and Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. I read We Were Liars several years ago and I’m still reading Becoming.
LOVED The Hating Game and Big Little Lies!
ooo, heard of all of these guys, super interested in liane moriarty as ive seen her all over the place
I love Liane Moriarty, although her two latest books haven’t been nearly as good as her others. Still, I love her writing style. I’m glad you found her and all these other authors and hope you find lots more to love in 2019!
Happy TTT!

This is a great list!
Such a great list! I have only read one of these (Big Little Lies) and I will be checking out the others soon.
I liked We Were Liars, and Liane Moriarty is pretty much an auto buy author for me after Big Little Lies. I really need to read more of E. Lockhart’s stuff…
Andy Weir and Ernest Cline are awesome!

Really enjoy Nicola Yoon. She’s good for just really fast, cute reads. Great list.
A couple of new authors in that list for me – name wise. I haven’t read any of the books by these authors though.
interesting list! I’m so excited to read Michelle Obama’s book!!
Great post and great list of books I have a physical copy of We Are Liers by E. Lockheart but I haven’t read it yet, but I am really hopeful that I can read that book this year. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome post.
I haven’t read these authors yet, but I saw the movie The Martian, and Ready Player One the movie. Doesn’t count though.
Great list! Ready Player One is on my TBR
