Top Ten Tuesday - New To Me Authors From 2022

 


Hi, Happy Tuesday! Today's Top Ten Tuesday Topic is new to me authors from 2022. My blog is sixteen years old this month so, I don't find many new to me authors. Which is a bummer because I love finding new authors.

I did find a few in 2022.

One: Nancy Naigle  . . . I read her book What Remains True, which I really enjoyed.

Two: Beth Pugh . . . I read two of her books. The Valentine Proposal and The Santa Run. Two very fun romantic reads

Three: Linda K. Rodante . . . Her book Scars was very impactful, I just wished I would've read the previous books as well.

Four: Is God Still Awake by Sheila Walsh. This is an excellent book for kids to learn that God is always awake.

Five: In Search of a Prince by Toni Shiloh. I'm very familiar with Toni. We met a couple of years ago at a conference but until 2022 I hadn't read a full novel of hers.

Six: Crowned With Glory by Dorena Williamson. A beautifully written book about how being different is beautiful.

Seven: Passages of Hope by Terri J. Haynes. A dual-time novel that was amazing!

For 2023 I have a couple new to me authors that I plan on reading.

Spare by Prince Harry - My birthday gift to myself which arrived today. So, excited to read it!

Sylvia's Mother by Jennifer Lynn Cary.

I'm hoping to add more in the months to come.

Have you read any of the authors I read in 2022? Are they on your TBR? Let me know in the comments!

Have an amazing Tuesday!

But when the old gang resurfaces with the ultimatum to re-up or face consequences, Garrett has tough decisions to make. These guys know how to get to him—his addictions, his fears.

My Thoughts

I didn't realize that this was the fourth book in the series when I signed up. I clearly wasn't paying attention. I wish I would've read the other three books in the series so I could've had more connection with the characters. 

The story centered around a church ministry focusing on ex-gang members, addicts, and alcoholics. I really liked that Ms. Rodante used that as her premise. It also gave way to showing the darkness of spiritual warfare throughout the book. Which she portrayed very well. It makes you stop and look at what's going on in our world today. 

I was married to an alcoholic and I know firsthand the demon that exists within a bottle of booze.

Linda K. Rodante is a new author for me and I enjoy reading books with spiritual warfare in them so I definitely will be adding her books to my list.
