New Author Challenge Wrap Up

I'm doing my best to clean up my blog for the new year so I wanted to get some wrap up posts done before starting fresh.  Last year I participated in the New Author Challenge.  I had an easy time of it because I had (and still have) shelves full of authors I've not read before.  I set my goal for 25 and came in at 31!  Not bad. 

I'm shooting for 25 again this year.  I'm looking forward to new discoveries!  If you are interested in this challenge you can find the info here.
