I also took part in this week's TTT topic, as I managed to read 12 new-to-me authors in 2020. Favourites including Robert Dinsdale (The Toymakers), Hazel Gaynor (The Cottingley Secret) and Natalie Jenner (The Jane Austen Society). 🙂jessicabookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164845796280572642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612320880156366525.post-77475028988955689912021-01-30T16:24:40.362+02:002021-01-30T16:24:40.362+02:00Why thank you!!

And that's high praise for Beth O'Leary -- I'll keep that in mind :-)<br />~LexlinguaLex @ Lexlinguahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251881629769380423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612320880156366525.post-61909537280758494982021-01-28T19:38:21.483+02:002021-01-28T19:38:21.483+02:00I am once again in love with the adorableness of y...I am once again in love with the adorableness of your blog. :)<br /><br />Sounds like you found some lovely authors in 2020. It's always exciting to discover someone new! I tried quite a few YA authors in 2020 like Alwyn Hamilton (Rebel of the Sands), Holly Black (The Cruel Prince, which I didn't care for), and Stephanie Garber (Caraval, another one I didn't really like although I plan to read it again someday to be sure). I also read Shirley Jackson's <i>The Haunting of Hill House</i>. Now that was disturbing and brilliant.Carissa (Regency Woman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16052175780167961631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612320880156366525.post-65848464639001637832021-01-27T23:45:31.554+02:002021-01-27T23:45:31.554+02:00I love your graphics!

Need to get to some of his books this year. I've heard of Morton too. I hear she's good as well.
