I think I've read a fair good many debut and new to me authors, so I'm going to list them in no particular order. And I'm going to cheat and try to break them down into genres. I've read 500+ books this year and that's just not fair to make me choose 14. Oh and thanks to Kimberley Faye Reads for setting all of this up! You can click on the author's name and be taken to their Goodreads page. Next to each author you can find the titles I've read by them and if there's a link, my review of them.
So I obviously bungled that. Either way these authors have won my heart this year. They've made me laugh, cry, and need to change my underwear sometimes too. I've fallen in love with the characters I've met and loved being with them while they've grown, changed, traveled, loved, been lost, and experienced life.
I'm really looking forward to 2015. Not only for the new books by these authors that I'll read, but to see what new authors I'll be exposed to and love.
