2013 First Reads Reading Challenge

The 2013 First Reads Reading Challenge
is hosted by b00k r3vi3ws, and it goes from January 1, 2013 through
December 31, 2013. The goal of this reading challenge is to read new-to-you authors. 

I’m joining at the Lover
level, which means that I need to read between 11-20 books from new-to-me authors. I’ll keep track of them here. I’ll also link my reviews to the
list. 

***As of April 2nd, I have completed this challenge. I will continue to track the new authors that I read.
