2012 New (to me) Author Challenge

I've done this challenge for the past two years and discovered some great new-to-me authors along the way (not hard to believe since I've read 233 new (to me) authors from 2010 to 2011). My favorite authors I "discovered" over the past two years are C.C. Galloway, DJ Gross, Larissa Ione, Riley Shane, Nicole Sheldon, Cherise Sinclair, and Dee Tenorio.


The Challenge: Read 20 or more books this year by authors you’ve never read before.
Dates: January 1, 2012 - December 31, 2012
