New Author Challenge 2012

This is one of the challenges that I have successfully completed over the last couple of years, so why stop now?  Literary Escapism is hosting this challenge once again and you can sign up yourself an review all the guidelines here if you want to give it a shot!  I love it when a new author is revealed to me through the pages of a book!  This year I am going to sign up to read 25 new authors again and I will list them on this post as I read them.  Good luck to you if you decide to try this one also!
