Once again Literary Escapism is hosting the New Authors Challenge. I’ve done this one two years in a row, and can’t resist it. I read lots of ARCs and review books, and am always finding new-to-me authors. I am once again shooting for 50 new authors (in 2009 I exceeded that number). I’ll be listing them all on this post and updating it as I go with ratings and links to reviews.

I did this one last year and loved it!
I did New Authors in 2009 (one of the few Challenges I completed!). Like you, I do read a lot of ARCs and new-to-me authors (and enjoying “discovering” them)
J. Kaye: This is one of my favorites!
Dawn: I love finding new-to-me authors…it seems there is an endless supply of fantastic authors I’ve never read before!
