The Awesome Author Challenge 2010 is hosted by Alyce of At Home With Books. Why did I choose this challenge when I am already signed up for several? This challenge requires me to choose authors I have been told great things about, but have yet to read.
The Rules are quite simple to follow.
- Challenge begins 1 January 2010 and ends 31 December 2010
- Cross-overs from other challenges are allowed
- The books to not need to be predetermined and can change throughout the year.
- The authors can be from any genre, you must have heard great things about them and have not read their works.
- You must sign up here.
As with most challenges there are several levels of participation.
- Easy: Choose three authors and read at least one title from each author.
- Moderate: Choose six authors and read at least one title from each author.
- Challenging: Choose ten authors and read at least one title from each author.
- Over-Achieving: Anything over ten authors.
I am going to aim for Over-Achieving, I cannot help myself! The authors I propose to read are (yes I realise I have 11, not 10):
- Shilpa Agarwal
- Shobhan Bantwal
- Yasmine Crowther
- Sarah Dunant
- Ru Freeman
- Diana Gabaldon
- Susan Higginbotham
- Kathleen Kent
- Juhmpa Lahiri
- Kathryn Stockett
- Jeane Westin
