Name five books (and ONLY five), that fit our monthly theme. You do not have to have read the books. You just have to be sure they fit the theme.

January 2017's theme: "New to me" Authors

(That should be easy ... or maybe hard ... name ONLY five!)

All new to me this month, along with two others.

I checked last year and 83 out of 193 were by authors I'd never read before.
