Hey everyone! Hard to believe, but we are already 2 weeks into our challenge. I know... I'm shook, too!

What's been your favorite new find so far? For me, it was unquestionably How to Train Your Dragon (How to Train Your Dragon, #1) by Cressida Cowell. It was delightful, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I will confess that I read it using the audiobook narrated by David Tennant. It was absolutely lovely having him read to me in his beautiful accent.



BTW: I can also highly recommend his narration of My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece by Annabel Pitcher. The story itself is incredibly moving, and he voices the 10-year-old narrator with humor and vulnerability.

Even though I will probably read several more books that will fall into 'new authors' category before the end of the quarter, I won't be increasing my goal, it feels good to have something completed.
