DeleteI can't say I've heard of any of these authors, but I'm definitely going to check them out now!
ReplyDeleteHere is my TTT.
Not a lot of people have heard of them, but I hope you do check them out!

ReplyDeleteNot a lot of people have heard of them. I think they're definitely quite unknown even around here and it was only because of school all those years ago that I had the chance to meet them.
DeleteI haven't heard of these authors, but it's always lovely to meet authors we like! :-)
ReplyDeleteNot a loot of people have this week. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure if I do like them. The majority of these I was forced to meet through school.
DeleteI haven't heard of any of these books, but they look pretty good. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Nobody has this week!
