My First Official Reading Challenge

I am hosting my first Reading Challenge. **Cue the applause.

Starting January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, I challenge myself to read at least 25 new authors for me. Every month, I will post what authors I have read, their book(s), and review their work. I would love for you guys to let me know how you are all doing as well with this challenge.

At the first of the year, I will post the 25 authors that I plan to read.

And if you have any suggestions on who I should put in my TBR pile, feel free to leave me a comment. I would LOVE to here from you.

I am not sure what kind of giveaways or prizes that I will be doing with this new feature on my blog--but I will keep you updated. Suggestions are truly appreciated.

Here is the list of authors that I hope to read this year:

1. Alexis Grant
