Since a New Season is coming around the corner I thought New could be our theme this month.

New Authors Challenge � Challenge yourself to read a certain amount of books by new-to-you authors

Levels:

� Curious � 1 new authors
� Fascinated � 2 new authors
� Addicted � 3 new authors
� Obsessed � 4 new authors
. Super-obsessed- 5 authors
. Off the Charts- 6 authors

(you have one month/30 days ....see how many new author's books you can read this month.)

I am in :)

The next book I am starting is by an author I haven't read anything from before and I signed up for 3 blog tours for which I have to read books this month that are also new for me authors. So I hope I manage to get at least to level obsessed.

I'm in!! The BOTM Throne of Glass is a new author to me yay!

Im in, I just love finding new authors and I have so many to pick from lol

I'm in. Are we starting on the 1st?

I'm in. This month alone I have already read 5 so next month should be a snap!

Well, 9 of my next 15 planned books are new (to me) authors, so I'm hoping I can do it. Let's make sure I can read 15 books in the next 3 months. I should, but after this month, you never know.

Nuts. I just realized this was the April challenge, not the quarterly. lol I'm still going for Off the Charts.

eta: Hmmm...looking at my reading schedule again, I'd have to read 11 books this month to make it to 6 new authors. Not sure I'll be able to make it. We'll see what happens, I guess.
