2023 New Authors to You Challenge

[Loraine]

Challenge yourself to read a certain amount of books by "new-to-you authors.” An easy way to find new authors is to look at the books others post on challenges to find authors you haven’t read. Also check out Christian Fiction Devourers facebook page and see what books are being recommended there.


LEVELS:
Level 1: New kid on the block– 5 new authors
Level 2: Looking for new – 6-10 new authors
Level 3: True blue and new – 11-15 new authors
Level 4: Newsies – 16-20 new authors
Level 5: Fresh and new- 21-25 new authors
Level 6: A stunning debut- 25+ new authors

Please respond with “I’m in!” if you are going to take part in this challenge and what level you are choosing.

[Beth]

I am in. I found 44 new authors this year; doubt I will do as well in 2023 but will try for 21-25. (I signed up for 11-15 for 2022)

[D.L.]

You can all feel free to use me as a "new-to-you" author. I will warn you in advance, my books are purposely fast-paced and not of the soft, romantic variety. The main character in most is a Born-Again biker with a rowdy past. I'd be greatly appreciative of anyone who gives me a look. :)

[Loraine]

I'm in for Level 6: A stunning debut- 25+ new authors

I have a lot of new authors on my Kindle clear back to 2012, and my goal is to read a lot of these books.

Thanks Loraine!

Thanks for this thread! Even though I didn't sign up for it due to commitment to other challenges, this gives me a list of new authors to check out...and let's face it some will go on the TBR :)
