-Not planning all of this at once-I'm saving some of the fun to do over next year!

The House of Mirth is a wonderful choice, Vicky!

Fun to explore new authors! I hope you enjoy your challenge and discover some new favorites! =D

Many thanks,Erin!

Thanks,Terry-I've had it on my to read list for a few years now-I thought it was high time I read it!

What a great idea, Vicky! I recently discovered Trollope myself, I really like his writing style. Hope you enjoy him, too.

I enjoyed Snow Falling of Cedars quite a bit. Enjoy your planning!

Wow, great and difficult approach to do only authors you haven't read. Looks like fun!

All new authors. What a fun way to approach the challenge!

Thanks,Wobbley-I promised myself I'd read it next year-it's been on the shelf too long!

Thanks,Sara-I'm hoping to look at what other people are reading and recommending to get some new ideas!

Angie wrote: "All new authors. What a fun way to approach the challenge!"

Thanks,Angie-I wanted to try something different this year!

I love this idea, Vicky. I think the New Authors challenge is my favorite in the buffet, and bingo is a great way to find some. Penelope Lively is a favorite of mine, and Moon Tiger is her best. Have fun!

Moon Tiger is good. . . It's the only book of hers I have yet read. I hope to read more. Good start here!

Thanks,Kathleen!I wanted a challenge and this seemed like a good idea!I'm a fan of the work of Penelope's good friend,Penelope Fitzgerald so I thought I would try a book by Lively to compare the two!

Many thanks,Cynda!I'm looking forward to this one!

I agree with everyone else. It's fun to have a focus, and New Authors sounds like an interesting way to approach Bingo.
