Nothing But Reading Challenges
New 2U Authors Challenge 2024
Duration: 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2024

Progress: 20 out of 20 (Devil May Care = 20 or more!)

Reoccurring every year, but start fresh from January to December.
(If you start after January, you may back-post from the beginning of the year.)

Rules
Read books by authors that are New 2 U (new to you).

• If an author writes under a pseudonym, you may use that, provided it is a different genre (or sub-genre, writes Historical Romance under one name and Paranormal Romance under another) and you have NOT read any of those books.
• Anthologies are always a wonderful way to try someone new, so as long as one of the stories has been written by a New 2 U author, they are permitted.
• Audiobooks are fine.
• Novellas are fine.
• You can set your goal now, or adjust as the year progresses.
• Feel free to make a special comment, if you found a real winner.
(★Stars★ or ♥hearts♥ indications welcome!)

Duration: One year from 1 January
You may read in any order, start at any time of the year. You may 'back date' to the 1st of January, if you desire.

* Please Note: There is another challenge that is "open-ended" (not yearly) that is posted here.

The Audiobook Challenge is designed to not only help you to read your audiobooks, but to also find out about other great audiobooks from other challenge participants!

Though you may pop in/out at any time, the Audiobook Challenge will run on a monthly basis so you are able to see progress being made.

There are no minimum page requirements, and you can read abridged or unabridged audiobooks!

Rules:
(view spoiler)[1. At the beginning of the month, post :
a: How many audiobooks in total you want to read for the month
b: How many audiobooks in the monthly category you want to read
c: Post the audiobooks (as you decide on them) by linking them to Goodreads in your post

2. During the month, read the audiobooks that you can AND update your post with your reviews. (You can do this after each book or wait until the end of the month.)

3. At the end of the month, update your post and with:
a: What books you read
b: Link(s) to your review(s) - note: can only be linked to Goodreads and not an external site
c: How many audiobooks you have read for this challenge this year

Then start a new post for the next month! (hide spoiler)]
