2014 New (to me) Author Challenge

I've done this challenge for the past four years and discovered some great new-to-me authors along the way (not hard to believe since I've read 376 new (to me) authors from 2010 to 2013). My favorite authors I "discovered" over the past few years are C.C. Galloway, DJ Gross, Larissa Ione, Robin LaFevers, Abigail Roux, Riley Shane, Cherise Sinclair, Dee Tenorio, and Lynn Viehl.


The Challenge: Read 20 or more books this year by authors you’ve never read before.
Dates: January 1, 2014 - December 31, 2014
