I have no ideas about what to call it, but another level is always nice.
I had no idea how many new authors I had already been reading this last month until I started this challenge. Sadly, not many of them have actually been very good.
Can someone tell me how to add stars next to the books?
Amanda wrote: "Can someone tell me how to add stars next to the books?"Amanda, you can always "copy & paste" - however, if you want the codes they are (without the spaces)

Duration: Reoccurring every year, but start fresh from January to December. (Since it is now February, you may back-post from the beginning of the year.)
Rules: Read books by authors that are New 2 U (new to you).
� If an author writes under a pseudonym, you may use that, provided it is a
different genre (or sub-genre, writes Historical Romance under one name and
Paranormal Romance under another) and you have NOT read any of those books.
� Anthologies are always a wonderful way to try someone new, so long as
one of the stories has been written by a New 2 U author, it is permitted.
� Audiobooks are fine.
� Novellas are fine.
� You can set your goal now, or adjust as the year progresses.
� Feel free to make a special comment, if you found a real winner.
(★Stars� or ♥hearts� indications welcome!)
� Please indicate your totals. For example: LEVELS
Come What May = Let's see how many I read.
Fresh Face = 5
Adventurer = 10
Risk Taker = 15
Devil May Care = 20 or more!

Thanks, Jessica, for the motivation to do this one. �
