    Ahh, you have great authors on this list! I love Jandy Nelson, Sarah J. Maas, Courtney Summers, Marissa Meyer, and Morgan Matson's books. David Levithan is an author I still haven't read from, but I believe I have one of his books.

    Sarah Fine for me is a new to me author I discovered this year, its not like I have not heard of her before, she has written a lot, but thanks to a friend for nudging me in that direction, it was well worth it

    I've heard so much good stuff about All The Bright Places! I need to read it. And I haven't read The Lunar Chronicles yet, but I finally bought Cinder, so it's happening ASAP. I think my favorite author I've discovered this year is Victoria Schwab. Though Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell is my favorite book this year!

      Vlora, All the bright places had me bawling, so be prepared with tissues. And you MUST read Cinder soon. That entire series is just so, so, so good.

      Cait, Lunar Chronicles is one of the few series where there is NO WEAK BOOK! Every single installment just gets better and better. I am so glad that I discovered her and I can't wait to read her new book next year.

    Jandy Nelson needs to write more books! And I am so happy you discovered Courtney. I adore her, and her books. I highly suggest This is Not a Test.

      Lyn, I LOVED This is not a test! She writes zombie books that are just as amazing as her contemporary stuff. And Jandy Nelson is now one of my favorite authors. I'll Give You The Sun was one of my favorite books read this year.
