Alyssa Cole jumps out before me even starting, mostly cos I recently read one of hers :D She writes great romances, I love that they are set elsewhere too. We so need that. Not the same old same old
And Nalini Singh, omg, she is the reason I can still read PNR. She is a romance GODDESS
I have a stormy relationship with NK Jemisin, I adore her books, I hate her books. The middle ground is hard to find. But her first book, Hundred thousand Kingdoms, damn, so good.
Jenny Han, I mean come on, PS, I still love you, is adorbs
Jeannie Lin, awwww, I mean long ago China, damn, I need to get back to those
There are more, but like always, I only remember by looking at good old goodreads, how else could I remember which books I liked ;) It also feels like I have written this post before and mentioned the same people, hmm. Well, to be mentioned I have to have liked at least two books, so there are others I want to mention, I just need to hurry up and read more books.

Ohh I love this topic. I haven't read any books by Alyssa Cole, I think I should remedy that.
ReplyDeleteI also read NK Jemisin's Inheritance book 1, and enjoyed it for the most part. Looking forward to continuing on with that series.
She has such fun books :D
DeleteI have tried 3 of her series, one dnf, one love, one good start and then turned bleh Lol

DeleteI still have to write my post but Elizabeth Acevedo has been a hit for me so far. Brandy Colbert is another - both YA though.
ReplyDeleteAnd I discovered a few new authors last year.
I discovred some new ones too :D Just have to read book 2 from several
DeleteAlyssa Cole is the only one I can think of that I've read a few books from. I know I've read Nalini Singh but it's been a while.
ReplyDeleteI do love Nalini's books, her contemporary are so awesome too
DeleteOh Nalini Singh should have been on my list - I've recently started reading her and enjoy her books. I don't think I knew she was a POC.
ReplyDeleteHer pnr and contemporary rocks :D
DeleteI still need to read all of the authors that you mentioned!

DeleteYay for Nalini Singh. Beverley Jenkins writes great romance too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried her yet!
DeleteI've only read Alyssa Cole's historicals, but I loved them. Yes, to Nalini Singh for sure. And, Jeannie Lin is the reason I got back into historical romance. Glad to see she made your list.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Lin in ages though, but her books were so lovely
DeleteLove Nalini Singh! I also enjoy Helen Hoang and a bunch of others I can't recall now, lol! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I like hers too :D I am rally bad with names
DeleteI don't understand what POC really means...
ReplyDeletePeople of color. I get you, English shortenings at times can be hard, I remember when i had no idea what lol was
DeleteWell, I hope to read Nalini Singh for the first time this year, hopefully I can get a review copy of her book!
