So Many Precious Books, So Little Time: New Author Challenge 2009

January 1 - December 31, 2009

Thanks to Literary Escapism for hosting the New Author Challenge for 2009.

Here are the guidelines:

There is no restriction on choosing your novels. They can definitely be from other challenges.

YOU decide how many new authors you want to try in 2009 and then that’s your challenge.

To join, go to the post about the challenge and add your name to the Mr. Linky.

If you do not have your own blog, you can join the group blog.

Bloggers or Non-Bloggers alike are welcome

When you read a new author, write your review (either at your site or the group blog) and then go back to the post about the challenge and post a link to your review.

I am planning to read at least 20 new authors in 2009.

~~1.Sweet Mandarin by Helen Tse~~

I am so excited about the New Author Challenge 2009. I just had to join. I have finished a new author for me. Her name is Maggie Sefton. The review for "Knit One, Kill Two" is on my blog.

I hope I understand the instructions. Is the challenge for Debut authors or authors that I am just learning about? At times, I'm dense. Please excuse.

I hope I didn't ask a silly question. I want to start working on my challenges seriously. If you have time, could you answer my question? Thank you.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to fit the New Author Challenge in with the other challenges. I hope it comes up again next year.
