Darlene's Book Nook: New Author Reading Challenge 2012

Hi, everyone! Time for another 2012 Reading Challenge!!

I love to find new-to-me authors, so I'm signing-up for this challenge which is being hosted by Jackie at Literary Escapism.

Here are the details copied from Jackie's blog:

New Author Reading Challenge 2012

Here are the guidelines:

• The challenge will run from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.

• Since this is an author challenge, there is no restriction on choosing your novels. They can definitely be from other challenges. However, the authors must be new to you and, preferably from novels. Anthologies are a great way to try someone new, but only a third of your new authors can be from anthologies.

• I want this to be an easy challenge, so you can pick to do either 15, 25 or 50 new authors. It all depends on how fast you read and how adventurous you want to be. For me, I want to say I’m going to do another 50 new authors, but with two kids, I didn’t made my goal in 2011, so I’m going to be smarter and say 25. If you reach your goal halfway through the year, don’t stop. Any new author you try can be added to Mr. Linky. We all want to know about your new experience.

• After reading your new author, write your review and then come back here and add your link to Mr. Linky. Make sure you include your name and the author, but adding the title is completely up to you.

• Bloggers or Non-Bloggers alike are welcome. You don’t have to have a site to participate. You can link up via Facebook, GoodReads or even Amazon if you’d like.
