Here's five books that have been published this year, or that I found this year and want to read.

The Seven Sisters by Neil Gaiman (Not published yet)

I love Neverwhere. I think it was my second Neil Gaiman, after Good Omens. So when I heard he's written (or is writing?) a sequel, it got to my TBR list. I haven't read it yet, because it hasn't been published yet! 

The City We Became by N.K.Jemisin

Nora Jemisin is one of my ideals, so this is another book I just had to read :-D I have it, but haven't read it. X-]

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

I love  Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, so when I read about a new book by Susanna Clarke, it got to my TBR list immediately. I have it, but I still haven't even started it! :-D

Incendiary by Zoraida Cordova

I participate in PopSugar Reading Challenge, and one of the prompts is "a book published 2020".
I like her Brooklyn Brujas series, so this one popped up as a potential candidate. I read another book, but this still got to the TBR list, because of Brooklyn Brujas :-D

La Tempête des échos by Christelle Dabos

I have read the three first books, and I love this series, so when I read the 4th comes out this year, it got to my TBR list.

 My top 5 new authors

Oh... there are so many! But, I have to name five, and here are five authors whose work I read first this year, and whose work I like very much. 


Erin Morgenstern. 

I read Starless Sea and it was... like... the best book ever written, the only book ever written, the only book worth reading, like all the other books in the world are just cheap surrogates because I can't be reading Starless Sea for the rest of my life. It took me quite a long time to start reading again :-D
