  1. Great list! Liane Moriarty's "Little Big Lies" has been on my bookshelf for a long time. I'm going to have to get around to reading it soon. I'll also have to check-out quite a few of these other authors.

  2. Lucy Clarke! I haven't read The Blue yet but I loved her previous books, The Sea Sisters and especially A Single Breath--could not put the latter down last year! xD Great list :)

  3. Great list! I really want to read Liane Moriarty and Laura Dave. I think it was your review of Deep End that got me to read Guaranteed to Bleed which I loved! I'm looking forward to trying that Ellery Adams series. I read one of her books years ago and enjoyed it but then for some reason never read any more of her work. I love the idea of a book themed resort.

  5. This is a great list! I really enjoyed the one book by Liane Moriarity I've read. Big Little Lies is on my wish list. :-) Ellery Adams' book catches my eye from the title alone. That looks like a fun read, and a good series. The Blue is on my wish list because of your review. Thank you for sharing!

  12. I must admit, I have not read any of these authors yet! I have heard a lot about Little Big Lies though! And Julie Mulhern I heard of, and added one of her books to my TBR, and I think it was because you mentioned it actually! So, someday hopefully I will have read a few of these! Great list :)

  13. I haven't read any of the Star Wars books, but one of my favorite YA Science Fiction authors Cecil Castellucci wrote one of the new canon books, Moving Target: A Princess Leia Adventure. Have you heard of it? I can't recommend it to my two friends who do read them (or did actually) because they are angry about the storyline changes.

  16. Great list! I've only read Kevin Hearne from this list, and I can't wait to try his non-Star Wars stuff. He did a good job with Heir, I hope he gets to write more for the universe in the future.
