Best book club discussion

This is a new day, a new month, and a NEW YEAR!!! Lets keep up the theme and bring it in with reading TWO books by authors that are NEW to you.

*Please don't use the same new author twice.*

**If you fill compelled to read more than two you can continue posting.**

I'll start... My first book of the New Year happens to also be a New to me author.

New author 1. Cassandra Clare Done 1/1/2010

New author 2. Kristin Cashore Done 1/4/2010

New author 3. Maggie Stiefvater Done 1/6/2010

New author 4. Scott Westerfeld Done 1/12/2010

New author 5. Nora Roberts Done 1/14/2010

New author 6. Lemony Snicket Done 1/16/2010

New author 7. Melissa Marr Done 1/24/2010

My first New-to-me author will be Richelle Mead Currently-Reading

I have not read anything by Mead as well.

Well we're even because I haven't read anything by Clare. Have that series on my to-read shelf though.

City of Bones was worth the time. I would recommend it. I plan on getting to the other books in the series soon.

JIM BUTCHER'S
FURIES OF CALDERON the codex of alera

I only finished one:

Paul Harrington:

Yeah! That is great. I'm glad you are joining the challenges. The month is still young my friend! Plenty of time to get in one more new author!

:D exactly!! I'm gonna check out the library for more books :)

:-D

I need to check the library too, but my mom is sticking to what she said.

Confused? What did she say? About what?

She said that she's not taking me to the library to get new books til I finish what I have.... And she won't budge.

Well, hurry and finish them girl! Which books did you get from the library?

ya i want to know to

LOL, we haven't even been. I meant new as in "some books that I've never read before".

7 New authors in one month. :-) I guess that wasn't so bad. I don't think I 'll fit anymore in this month.

Awesomeness!! Thanks for being apart of the challenge!

i didn't do the challenge.........sorry

That is ok. No biggie. It isn't required, just for fun.

another new author!!

I have to admit that I have not read Stuart Little. Oops.

Haha, neither have I, but the movies are fantastic. I miraculously read another new author this month!

Amelia Atwater-Rhodes:

the book is totally different from the movie, trust me!!

I wouldn't doubt it!

Okay, I have a question. If we have a book that we started a long time ago but need to reread the whole thing to remeber it, can it still count as towards the 2010 pages?

Yes, as long as you read it between Jan 1, '10 and Dec 31, '10, everything counts!

Thanks. I wasn't 100% sure but I thought that would be okay.

Everything counts!

Everyone did magnificently for the first month of the year! It's okay if you weren't able to either peticipate or read two books by two different authors. To sum it all up, here's what everyone who participated read!!

January: New Authors Read:

Elyssa: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, Graceling by Kristin Cashore, Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater, Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, Vision in White by Nora Roberts, The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket, and Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr.

Zakiya: Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead and The Shapeshifters by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes.

Darren...: Furies of Calderon by Jim Butcher.
