there were a lot of ups and downs, for everyone, but i know i’m looking forward for this year to be over. however, in 2017, i am grateful for the good things that happened to me, and i’m going to discuss one of them in this blog post. here are the top five authors that i discovered in 2017.
1. j.k rowlingso 2017 was the year i finally got around to reading Harry Potter, and boy am i glad for that! i love, loved, this series, it utterly destroyed me, but i still love it.
part of the reasons i loved it was the writing. people aren’t wrong when they say j.k rowling is the queen of writing! i also loved this author because she is just so insprirational! i have found out some powerful facts like
- she was clinically diagnosed with depression
- she is a strong feminist – which is shown in her characters like ginny, hermione, professor mcgonagall
- she is an advocate for equality.
- she showed that determination and faith is the recipe to achieve your dreams
- she makes such a great impact with her fame, like donating charities, and also being an advocate for self-love
there is no one else who i look up too then j.k rowling
2. angie thomasokay, i loved, loved THUG by angie thomas. this book got a 5 out of 5 rating from me! i loved angie thomas’s intake on the racial discrimination that sadly exist in our society today. this is definitely a topic not talked about enough. i also didn’t know a lot about the racial injustices against african-americans. and this book had such great, and real characters.
i look foward to On the Come Up another book by angie thomas!
3. becky albertalliThe Upside of Unrequited was pretty hyped up this year, so in addition to that, i also picked up simon vs the homosapiens agenda this year! and both books deserve EVERY BIT OF HYPE! i love becky albertalli’s funny, quirky, diverse, characters!! her writing structure was a+, and i can’t wait too read even more books by her
4. leigh bardugoi also decided to read six of crows duo-logy, AND GUESS WHO IS HOOKED! short review: her book made feel so much emotions i didn’t even know i had! i loved the structure, and world building of these books. it takes a lot of talent to build a world as good as the one crafted by leigh bardugo, in six of crows!
5. holly blackso over the summer i went on a holly black book binge read. and i just loved her books like crazy! my favorites were the darkest part of the forest, and the coldest girl in coldtown. some of my favorite parts about holly black’s books is the writing style! it just flows together, and is so structured and it just flows.
this post was like 11 days late, but happy (super late) new year everyone! school has just killed me, so i couldn’t really post! these were some of my new favorite authors that discovered in 2017. how about you? who were your favorite authors? what are some good book you read by them? and i need some book recs, please??
