75 New or Nearly New to Me Authors

1-50 - These are 25 authors who I have only read 1 book by. The books were great, so I don't know why I haven't read more by these authors. I've paired the book I read with a second book I haven't read yet by each author.
51-100 - One book by 50 different authors that I have never read, which I hope to get around to soon.
