I could only think of five...
Revelations
1. I like GrimDark fantasy. I never would have thought I would like this sub-genre, but I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. I do like morally grey characters.
2. YA has lost some of its appeal for me. I still read YA, but I have started to enjoy more adult fantasy over YA-fantasy. Adult fantasy has less angst in it, and the angst that a lot of YA has, has started to annoy me.
Authors
3. Jay Kristoff. I have heard of him, it's hard to be part of the bookish community and not have heard of him, but I had never read a book by him until this year when I binged the Nevernight trilogy.
4. Mark Lawrence. Another author where I binged a series by this year (Book of the Ancestor). And I am currently reading another series by him (Broken Empire).
5. Kristin Jacques. Not a debut author. She actually has a few books/short stories under her belt. But her book Marrow Charm was one of the best books I read last year.
I read my first Kristoff last year, too! And I am HOOKED. I will read everything that man writes. I actually had no idea what GrimDark was until last year, and when I found out I was like ... oh, well, yeah, that sounds like stuff I enjoy. xD
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT post.
I've found myself reading less YA in 2019 too. I still read some, but it seems to be fewer and far between. And I do like morally grey characters. I read my first Mark Lawrence book last year as well, and will definitely read more of his stuff.
