I had never heard of most of the authors I'm reading for this challenge because I had to leave all of my favorite (and overall pretty famous) women authors off the list since I'd read them before. The Night Circus (Erin Morgenstern) was a huge surprise since I'd never heard of it or its author - that's been my favorite so far. Another pleasant surprise was The Scorpio Races (Maggie Liefsvater). It's a young adult title but it's really beautifully written and for that reason I enjoyed it. I never would have read either of those without this challenge. Also, although I didn't love it, The Alchemy of Stone (Ekaterina Sedia) was well-written and I will try something of hers again.
