Just a quick note…I keep hearing people are having problems signing up for the 2010 New Author Challenge and I’m not sure why. Every time I look at the page, everything seems fine.
I am a 30-something SAHM with two adorable boys and a supportive husband who is very tolerant of my reading addiction. I love to read and easily go through about a dozen books a month – well I did before I had kids. Now, not so much. After my first son was born, I began to take my hobby of reviewing a little more serious and started Literary Escapism to help with my sanity. I love to discuss the fabulous novels I’ve read and meeting all the wonderful people in the book blogging community has been amazing.

Mine went through but it was last week or maybe before that. It’s my first challenge, so I’m kind of nervous. Do we make a list ahead of time? We don’t start reading til January right? Sorry for all the questions!
That’s completely up to you. Make a list if it helps you or totally wing it. I started out with a list my first year doing it, but by the end of the year it was so different that I haven’t done a list since. Plus, I have so many new authors sitting on my TBR Stack and Shelf that I’m not worried about finding 50 new ones.
You can start reading new authors now, but you can’t start counting them until January.
That helps. Thanks:) I have so many books in my pile too, so it shouldn’t be a problem for me either!
