Hosted by Literary Escapism, the New Authors, New Worlds Challenge is always one of my favorites. I love to discover new authors and I find that I tend to read more new-to-me authors these days anyways than perennial favorites thanks the the blogging world! I could have kept going with this one but I have ran out of room in the notebook I was keeping track in.
I signed up to read 50 new authors and I read 72! I don't think I could pick a favorite from this bunch. So many great new finds and I look forward to participating in this challenge again next year.
