So for the past few years I have challenged myself to read 12 books a year, and have succeeded thus far. When this year began I started plowing through books making that goal, not so much of a goal anymore. I decided to change my goal for this year and make it more challenging, especially for me. I have a set group of authors I love to read but I wanted to branch out more. So this year’s goal was to read books from 12 different “new to me” authors. Well, I did it and I was not disappointed. It’s really changed things for me and I have been reading so much more now. Two out of the 12 were blah, but I have really enjoyed the others and read multiple books by each author. Here’s my list:

1. Josie Silver – One Day in December
2. Mhairi McFarlane – all of them
3. Jasmine Guillory – The Proposal
4. Jamie Beck – The Cabot series, and Sanctuary Sound series
5. Jennifer Probst – Stay series
6. Corrine Michaels – Hold You Close
7. Christina Lauren – many of them, loved My Favorite Half Night Stand
8. Vivi Holt – Make Believe Fiance (wasn’t a big fan)
9. Rebekah Crane – The Upside of Falling Down
10. Maddie Dawson – Matchmaking for Beginners (wasn’t a big fan)
11. Inglath Cooper – That Month in Tuscany
12. Helen Fielding – Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination
