Top Ten Tuesday Double Feature!

Since I didn't get around to doing this last week, I am posting last week and this week's topics together in one post!

Last week's:

Favorite new-to-me authors I read in 2015

1. Candace Calvert-I fell in love with her writing back in May when I read The Recipe, her contribution to the novella collection Chance of Loving You. Later this year I read her book Trauma Plan and loved it as well! 

2. Debby Giusti-I read her book The General's Secretary back in October and loved it!

3. Victoria Bylin-In April I read her book Until I Found You, which I really liked!

4. Tracy L. Higley-At the very beginning of this year I read her book Rescued: An Allegory which I absolutely adored (And highly recommend!) and plan to read again many times in the future!

5. Lois Lowry-I absolutely loved The Giver, but wasn't as crazy about Gathering Blue. Though I am still looking forward to reading Messenger and Son when I get the chance! 

6. Sarah Holman-I loved her Cinderella retelling, Waltz into the Waves!

7. Carrie Stuart Parks-I loved her book The Bones Will Speak, it was a great suspense that really kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat!

8. Terry Lynn Johnson-I borrowed her book Ice Dogs from the library and loved it so much that I'm seriously considering buying a copy!

7. Katherine Reay-Loved her first book, Dear Mr. Knightley!

8. Bethany Hamilton-She has such an inspiring story and I love the movie Soul Surfer so I really wanted to read the book it was based on which was really inspiring as well!

9. Margaret Peterson Haddix-I really loved her book Running out of Time, it was super cool! And a quick read too!

10. Lee Strauss-I really enjoyed her book Gingerbread Man, it was a very enjoyable and totally mind bending tale!

And this week's:
