New Author Challenge



I keep telling myself no more challenges but this one is perfect for me. The New Authors Challenge is hosted by Literary Escapism and I love trying out new authors! Not only do I love the button but there are so many awesome debut authors and new to me authors out there that I just can't resist this challenge. Head on over to Literary Escapism to sign up. I thnk I'll aim for 25 new authors!

Here are the guidelines:

1.The challenge will run from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.

2. Since this is an author challenge, there is no restriction on choosing your novels. They can definitely be from other challenges. However, the authors must be new to you and, preferably from novels. Anthologies are a great way to try someone new, but only a third of your new authors can be from anthologies.

3. I want this to be an easy challenge, so you can pick to do either 15, 25 or 50 new authors. It all depends on how fast you read and how adventurous you want to be. For me, I’m trying another 50 new authors. If you reach your goal halfway through the year, don’t stop. Any new author you try can be added to Mr. Linky. We all want to know about your new experience.

4. After reading your new author, write your review and then come back here and add your link to Mr. Linky. Make sure you include your name and the author, but adding the title is completely up to you.
