Sarah Oxford (sarahloxford) | 1260 comments This is the November 'Try Something New' Challenge! This challenge will be from November 1 to November 30. The idea of this challenge is to read a book by an author that's new to you and let us know if you'd read something by them again.
If you're anything like me you will have a kindle/bookshelf/other full of books that were free or bargains that you haven't gotten around to reading yet because you're just not sure and haven't previously read anything by that author. Well this month, start that book! Try Something New! And then let us all know whether it was worth it!

For this challenge:
1. You need to sign up by commenting below
2. Choose a YA Romance or NA Romance book that is by an author you haven't tried before
3. Post the book's cover below in a comment
4. When you have finished reading the book that you have chosen, please post the cover of the book, the date you completed the book, your rating of the book and Yes/No to "Will I read another book by this author?"!


Below is an example of what #4 would look like:

Obsidian (Lux, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Finished: November 7
My Rating: 5*
Will I read another book by this author? YES

Participants;

1. Ashley
2. Kerri Awakened (Vampire Awakenings, #1) by Brenda K. Davies ✮✮✮✮ - YES

Sarah Oxford (sarahloxford) | 1260 comments Oh and if you want to participate but don't know which author to try, why not ask for a suggestion!

That's truly in the spirit of "Trying Something New"!

Chris | 176 comments I'm going to get in on this challenge. I've never read any of Molly McAdam's books. I've been recommend them in the past, but haven't had enough interest. I'm going to try this one Forgiving Lies (Forgiving Lies, #1) by Molly McAdams

Sarah Oxford (sarahloxford) | 1260 comments I'm going for Just Remember to Breathe (Thompson Sisters, #2) by Charles Sheehan-Miles as I've been recommended it for the alphabet challenge and haven't read this author before :)

Trisha finished my pick.
Escaping Reality (The Secret Life of Amy Bensen, #1) by Lisa Renee Jones (1 star) 11/6
and sadly, No....

unfortunately it was just too close to erotica for me....

Awakened (Vampire Awakenings, #1) by Brenda K. Davies
Finished: 27/11
Rating: 4*
Will I read the author again: Yes!

Absolutely loved this book considering it was a freebie, I thought it would be another cheesy vampire book but I fell in love with it from the start.

Sarah Oxford (sarahloxford) | 1260 comments Ooh thanks Kerri, I can't resist a freebie and in my opinion there is no such thing as too many vampire books!
