#5ToWatch

@Cinfhen wanted to know our #5towatch. Here are mine.
1. Aaron Reynolds. He writes the best, funniest picture books. He was at Book Expo 2016 and had NO LINE. This guy deserves a line. Check him out.
2. Raina Telgemier writes the sweetest graphic novels that are both real and heart felt.
3. Joelle Landers has been chosen as an Illinois Reads author for 2018 (hopefully I'm not saying that too early).
4. Amanda Stevens
5. Melissa Landers

Cinfhen Thanks for sharing!!! 7y

Love this idea @Cinfhen .... my #5towatch are all debut novelists I‘ve read recently.... can‘t wait to read what they do next....

Cinfhen Hi!!!! I miss U! Our time zones are not in sync!!!! I love your choices...I've read 2, the others are on my TBR! I'm not sure I'll like 7y
KarenUK @cinfhen 😘 🤗! It‘s been a bit of a crazy work month and a bit of a reading slump too.... But this one dragged me out of it! 7y

Great idea @Cinfhen to promote some debut authors! I‘d like to read more by these five:

- Virginia Reeves
- Fiona Mozley
- Nathan Hill
- Yaa Gyasi
- Brit Bennett

About the tagged one: this book is fantastic, it deserves more Litsy love!

Bookalong I really enjoyed The Mothers. I haven't read any of the others. But Homegoing is on my tbr pile. 7y
Cinfhen #stacked sounds fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing your list‼️I'm familiar with the others but only read 2, the others are on my TBR #SoManyBooksSoLittleTime 7y
Cinfhen Just bought it!!! 7y
BarbaraBB @Cinfhen Yay! I‘m sure you won‘t regret it! 7y
Cinfhen I‘m excited to try it! Thanks for the suggestion 💜 7y

I haven't read enough debut authors! Most of the awesome debuts are still on my TBR--I may have to do fewer challenges next year if I want to stop putting off books. I read 5 debuts and would like to see more from 4 of them (sorry, I didn't love Chemistry). But I'll substitute in debut books from my best friends to fill in that space! #5towatch
📖Jade Chang
📖Derek Palacio
📖Imbolo Mbue
📖Ocean Vuong
📖Annelyse Gelman/Arianna Rebolini

Natasha.C.Barnes @RealBooks4ever Me too! But I liked The Wangs vs the World and The Mortifications even more! Have you given those a look? 7y
RealBooks4ever @Natasha.C.Barnes I have not! I'll check them out. 😊 7y

Cinfhen Thanks for posting!! I've only read 2 ...MUST add the others!!! 7y
Cinfhen Took a screenshot for #futurereference 7y
Natasha.C.Barnes @Cinfhen 😊 Awesome! Out of curiosity--which did you read? 7y
Cinfhen Wangs & Dreamers! Loved Dreamers & I thought Wangs was fun! 7y
Natasha.C.Barnes @Cinfhen I figured it was either Dreamers and Wangs or Dreamers and Chemistry--those were the most publicized I think. Night sky is poetry. The Mortifications is different from the rest in general style and feeling, but I adored it. It's good if you have an appreciation of magical realism for that book. 7y
Cinfhen Night Sky is my top priority! Looks like a heartbreaker 💔 7y

I love discovering great debut authors, and these debut novels all have me craving more from these authors! 📚

Great idea @Cinfhen and if anybody else feels like showing their #5towatch debut authors, consider yourself tagged by me! 👏

AlaMich The Butchers Hook is the only one of these I'd never heard of and it sounds really interesting. 7y

Kalalalatja @AlaMich it is such a great book, and I'm sure @emilyhaldi will back me up on this too 😄👌 7y
Kalalalatja @Cinfhen you won't regret it (I hope! 🤞) it is pretty awesome 👏👏 7y
Kalalalatja @emilyhaldi I know that feeling all too well. Seeing it all over Litsy these days has put me in the mood for a reread, so I need to see if I can sneak it in somewhere 😄 7y
emilyhaldi @AlaMich After reading it I was shocked that I hadn‘t heard more about it on Litsy or elsewhere... it deserves way more attention! Definitely give it a try 👍🏻👍🏻 7y
2BR02B These posts are setting my TBR on fire. Thanks, but also, how could you? 😬 7y
Kalalalatja @2BR02B I would like to say I'm sorry, but I'm not, really 😄😬 7y

Here are my #5towatch:

☞ Charlie Jane Anders
☞ Julie Buntin
☞ Ted Chiang
☞ Susanna Clarke
☞ Erin Morgenstern

I'm cheating slightly, as Clarke has released a novel and a collection of short fiction, and Chiang has released short fiction only (I need a novel, stat!) IfI were doing this over, I might swap Morgenstern for Helene Wecker, but she slipped my mind while making the collage.

@Cinfhen

Cinfhen Love Helen Wecker‼️‼️‼️such good choices 7y
