first reads challenge


Another new one for me!

While I generally do tend to stay loyal to my authors I've always read (Nora Roberts, John Sandford, Kathy Reichs, Dean Koontz, etc.) due to the amount of books I read I'm pretty good at searching out new authors.  Thanks to the eReader more of my friends are reading which means even more recommendations for me!

The First Reads Challenge is all about reading books from authors you haven't read before (if you didn't figure that out already!).  b00k r3vi3ws is hosting this challenge and you can sign up here.  I'm going for the 'Lover' level.  I'm hoping I'll find 11-20 awesome new authors to read this year!
