On looking at the last post I went back and read the qualifying rules for this challenge. I failed to read that the YA authors had to be new ones (which presumably means that you can't read more than 1 book by each author). I doubt I will be able to complete this challenge and have deleted the books I put in since they are ineligible. There seems to be no way of withdrawing from a challenge so I will have to let my list stand empty.


My intention was discovering new authors or new aspects of existing authors -- if you've read an authors adult fiction but not any YA, they would totally count. But yes, one book per author.

Perhaps you would still be interested in the summer challenge for this? Hoping to snare a few middle grade kids with this one


I was intending to read more YA this year but not necessarily by new authors (or at least not that many new authors). I might try the summer challenge, I'll have to see how I'm going on the other challenges. Because I'm doing 16 not including this one I'm trying for a high degree of overlap and new authors kill that, the WGoF is already straining the budget, 2 challenges like that would be difficult.
