#8: Read books by 26 new authors (18/26)
Why it’s on the list: I read a lot but do tend to stick to the same authors, though since I joined BookCrossing several years ago I have widened my reading sphere. This task will challenge me to read authors that I’ve not yet encountered – 26 of them to be precise, one for each letter of the alphabet, though I may have to cheat a little with some of the letters! The books may be ones I already own but haven’t yet read, borrowed or bought.
How/when I’ll judge this task to be completed: When I have read 26 books, reviewed them on my Good Reads account and linked to them here.
