Finished - Think I'll do the same thing next month, too. Read five books from favorite authors that have been on my tbr list for a long time - being passed over for newer, shiny can't keep from buying books!
Way to go, Gaynell! And I love your challenge. It's so easy to keep letting the books we already have slide to the bottom of our TBR pile, isn't it?
Yes, it is, and some of them are really good books!
But, now it's back to discovering some new "favorite" authors :)
I should do that... But I get too easily distracted by shiny ;)

I read books by 5 new authors!Great way to start off the New Year!!
I agree, Susan! There are so many authors I've never heard of before, but they're excellent writers and storytellers. I'm glad I'm forcing myself to look "out of the box" for stuff to read.
I'm done!My New Year's resolution is to spend more time with my family and therefore I will spell "DAD".

I think she forgot a 0.
I hope.
YIKES!
LMBO! No, Dhes, I don't think so. **snortsnort** You are so funny. Did you, like, wipe your glasses off and double check?

And I was unhappy b/c it is trash night and I need to take the garbage out ...and it raining. Ha! At least it is NOT seven!
Thanks Lisa Kay, Dhes and Susan! Stay warm and inside! It's freezing here too, it was just 0 here yesterday. Can't be outside too much then and I had to wear my ski overall on the way to work xD
Congrats Susanne and Susan .
Stay warm all of you , its around 15 `C here and we feel cold , you people must be absolutely freezing!
