This week's topic: Bookish Discoveries I Made in 2025 (New-to-you authors you discovered, new genres you learned you like, new bookish resources you found, friends you made, local bookshops you found, a book club you joined, etc.)
I’m honestly not sure what to do for this week’s TTT, so I’m just going to list new authors I discovered in 2025! I’m pretty set in my reading habits and tend to stick with fantasy, romance, and a few mysteries throughout the year. I didn’t really stumble across any new bookish resources or local bookshops, and no new book clubs or bookish friends either. That said, I’m excited to see what everyone else comes up with for this one!
Lightlark is a series I started last year and still need to finish. I’ve heard book two is even better! I also didn’t realize there are four books in the series now. Thankfully, there’s no wait for Nightbane.
Butcher & Blackbird is one I technically started in 2025 but didn’t finish until 2026 (so it counts). It’s another series I plan on continuing this year, though I’m currently on a ten-week wait for Leather & Lark.
Roll for Romance was such a fun read. I loved the parallels between the characters’ D&D personas and their real-life selves. The slow burn was definitely worth it!
The Otherwhere Post was such a unique read, and I really enjoyed it. (Pssst! Emily! Can we please get another book set in this world? Please and thank you.)
Lights Out was a blast! I laughed so much while listening to this one. I’ve finally got Caught Up, the second book, and plan on listening to it this week—fingers crossed it’s just as good as Lights Out.
Your Knife, My Heart is in the same vein as Lights Out and Butcher & Blackbird (I’m starting to notice a theme here), and I absolutely loved it. Your Blade, My Back is already out, so hopefully I won’t have to wait too long.
Kelly Andrew has a new book coming out called The Gravewood, and it looks amazing. I can’t wait to get my hands on it in April! I haven't read a good vampire book in a while, and I'm hoping this one delivers. The reviews so far look promising.
I don't know any of these books, so thank you for sharing! I'm going to look into these titles.
ReplyDeleteIs there a specific one that caught your eye?
DeleteOOh nice list! I also chose authors for this topic for pretty much the same reasons! Lol. I still need to read Brynne Weaver but I did add her to my TBR last year! Also read Taylor and Andrew as well! Great picks this week!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I feel like we have really similar reading tastes! Definitely read Butcher & Blackbird though—so fun.
DeleteGreat list! I really need to read more T. Kingfisher books.
ReplyDeleteWhich ones have you read? I can't wait to dive into the others!
DeleteAwesome list!
ReplyDeleteThank you! ❤️
DeleteI also loved both Butcher and Blackbird and Lights Out, so maybe I need to try Your Knife, My Heart!
ReplyDeleteIf you enjoyed those two, definitely check out Your Knife, My Heart!
DeleteNice list. I've not read any of those authors, but I have Kingfisher on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteI've recently added a lot of Kingfisher to my TBR. 😅
DeleteYay, Kingfisher! I am the same, I have dipped my toe here and there. But do read Hemlock and Silver
ReplyDeleteNoted. Thank you!
DeleteI haven't read any of these authors...though I do have several of Kingfisher's novels on my TBR list. :D
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize there were so many!
DeleteI am a big T. Kingfisher fan, and there's never a shortage of her books, she writes so fast!
ReplyDeleteI was honestly shocked by the number of books when I searched on Goodreads. I don't know how I'll ever get to them all!
DeleteI've had my eye on His Face Is the Sun, but I hadn't heard any reviews of it, negative or positive, until now! Might need to snag myself a copy.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, yes! It's a really good one.
DeleteThank you for sharing, I've only read Kingfisher from your list but finding that particular author was an absolute belter for me. I love her books.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
I definitely want to carve out some space for more of her books this year.
DeleteAll of these are new to me.
ReplyDeleteAny you might like to try?
DeleteMy first Kate Stewart book was The Guy the Right (I think). I have enjoyed others since. I love finding new authors to add to my to-read list
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of that one. Is it also emotionally devasting? If so, I need to recover from this series first. 😅
DeleteThank you for reminding me that I must try KM Moronova!
ReplyDeleteYes! ASAP. ;)
DeleteLights Out is one I've been seeing around. Glad to see you loved it! I'll look it up.
ReplyDeleteIt's a really funny dark romance. I was surprised by how much I laughed!
DeleteMy favourite Kingfisher reads have been Nettle & Bone and Thornhedge. Though I don't love everything I've read by Kingfisher, I enjoyed both of those more than Sorceress.
ReplyDeleteGood to know!
