This is a challenge that I'm really excited about this year. I've never counted the "new to me" authors I've read in a year. I signed up for 50. Yikes!

PS I think you'll really like Paul Auster!

Yeah, I think I will like him too! It's easy to do well with new authors if you're as swayed by other bloggers' reviews as I am. It's much harder for me to read stuff by authors I've read before! :-)
