26 New-to-Me Authors

Jenn- I love this idea(see 2006 resolutions)
Jenn has made her resolution to read a new author for every letter of the alphabet. I am definitely going to incorporate that into my reading this year. Do you have to read them in order though(A first, then B, etc.)? I think I will just make a page with A to Z and then fill it in as I discover new authors. With all the help here on the board that shouldn't be too hard .

Anyone else?

I saw that idea on the other board, too (though I think it might have originated on BC) and have made a good start =)

*26 New to Me Authors* seems to allow me to concentrate on my old TBR and books here (a major focus in 2006!), so yippee!!

Yes, I did read that, but I thought it had to be done in this year.

Ohhh! (Slapping my forehead) I see what you meant! (I'm a little slow sometimes) If I read The Secret Life of Bees, then Sue Monk Kidd isn't new to me!
