5.5- It's a New Year
The New Year is all about bringing in something new!
Celebrate the New Year with something new from last year.

Read a book published 2023 by a new to you author/authors (if multiple authors all authors need to be new to you)


Required: State that the author/authors are new to you

Trish (trishhartuk) | 3688 comments I was just wondering, could the book be written by multiple authors, if all are new to me?

Trish (trishhartuk) | 3688 comments Sorry, I have another question. I decided to use The Owl for this one, but when I was looking at it again before posting, I noticed that while it says it was published in 2023, it doesn't say "first published".

On the other hand, there are only two editions on Goodreads, and both agree on "Published October 5, 2023", and all the articles and reviews on Google agree with that timeline.

Is it okay to use for this task?.

RedSycamore | 443 comments If I started a series of books by a new to me author during this challenge but only the last one was written in 2023, does that book work for this task?

Specifically, I had never read anything by Martha Wells when I started the Murderbot series in January. I just finished the last book, System Collapse, which is the only one in the series that was written in 2023. Would that work?
