New Authors Challenge-Completed

Posted in 2010 Completed Challenges  | 2 Comments

January 1 – December 31, 2010

Guidelines:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. After reading your new author, write your review and then come back and add your link to Mr. Linky. Make sure you include your name and the author.
  4. Bloggers or Non-Bloggers alike are welcome.
I plan to read at least 20 new authors in 2010.  I started a TBR for this challenge below:

1.Sometimes We’re Always Real Same-Same by Mattox Roesch

November 1, 2009 – November 31, 2010

Eva at A Striped Armchair is hosting a challenge dedicated to women which has its own challenge site. Women Unbound Reading Challenge encourages participants to read nonfiction and fiction books related to the rather broad idea of ‘women’s studies.’

There are three levels to choose from:

  • Philogynist: read at least two books, including at least one nonfiction one.
  • Bluestocking: read at least five books, including at least two nonfiction ones.
  • Suffragette: read at least eight books, including at least three nonfiction ones.
For now, I’m going to play it safe and choose the Philogynist.  Here are the books I plan to read:
