OH MY GOODNESS. You have all clearly had a good reading year because you have discovered a couple of my favorite authors each! So cool. I think there are only like 2 this year that we have in common (Jodi Meadows, Mary Pearson) but otherwise there are a LOT of authors that I have yet to read listed here (and quite a few that I have).

Those are great lists, including authors I’ll be reading for the first time next year! My faves were M.R. Carey and Eli Brown, who are the kind of authors you secretly follow on all social media and then hope they’ll announce their next book by Christmas.
