Authors I Want to Start Loving in 2019

Since yesterday’s post featured authors I already love and want to read MORE from next year, today’s post is about authors I’ve never read anything by, but have a strong suspicion I’ll love! ♥

For the sake of challenging myself, none of these are 2019 debuts!
(Though I may have a list like that coming soon, too!)

    I fully support, at the very least, Binti and Let’s Talk About Love! 😀 Both are excellent and their authors as such good writers! I can’t wait to read more from them.

    • Reply Destiny @ Howling Libraries December 31, 2018 at 9:17 am

      Awww, excellent. 😀 I’m excited for both of them, so thank you for the extra nudge to hurry up and read them! The first Binti novella was on my Short-a-thon TBR, and it ends tonight, so if I can, I’m going to try to read it at some point today, and then I’m supposed to read the other 2 novellas before the full trilogy bind-up releases in February for a review spot I was asked to do, so at least I’ll be getting to them very soon!

    I hope you like Nnedi she’s a brilliant writer. Lets talk about love is the cutest book ever !!! What i have listened to so far , the name of the wind promises an epic adventure I hope you like it.

    • Reply Destiny @ Howling Libraries December 31, 2018 at 9:18 am

      Oh awesome, I’m gonna try to read Binti today so that’s good to hear!! And I’m excited for Let’s Talk About Love but I hadn’t heard about it being so cute so that’s exciting. 🙂

    Julie Kagawa’s Immortal Rules series is one of my favourites!! I really hope you love it as much as I did!
    I also want to read Binti this year!

    The Name of The Wind is pretty good but personally, I don’t want to continue on with the series until the third book comes out (if that ever happens).

    • Reply Destiny @ Howling Libraries December 31, 2018 at 9:21 am

      Understandable! I read last night that he said in an interview that the current state of US politics is why he hasn’t put out the third book yet, that it’s just had him in such poor mental health he hasn’t been able to focus well enough to finish it up. 🙁 I hope he’s able to soon but I guess I can’t say I fault him since it is pretty depressing over here lol.

      • Reply Ellyn December 31, 2018 at 8:43 pm

        Yeah, I do believe that the book will be published at some point but, being the pessimist that I am, I don’t think it will be anytime soon. I mean, they call this guy the new GRR Martin for a reason.

  • Reply anhdara13 December 31, 2018 at 2:09 am

    Some of these authors’ books are on my TBR and I hope we both get to love their writing in 2019!

  • Reply Jolien @ The Fictional Reader December 31, 2018 at 3:32 am

    I also want to read some of Ania Ahlborn’s works in 2019! I don’t really read horror, and that’s something I want to change in the upcoming year.

    • Reply Destiny @ Howling Libraries December 31, 2018 at 10:21 am

      Oooh, well from everything I hear, she’s a great intro to the genre! I hope you enjoy whatever you decide to read. It’s such a wide genre filled with a ton of variety and I love it!

    Great list, I hope you enjoy Julie Kagawa books ???

    • Reply Destiny @ Howling Libraries December 31, 2018 at 11:49 pm

      Thank you!! I totally expect that I will, I don’t know why but she’s just one of those authors who I have this gut feeling I’m going to love! 😀
