Update - I Want More Challenge 2011



I have enjoyed hosting this Challenge, a true challenge for myself also.  There are 28 participants and 38 reviews so far.

I will host again for 2012, that post will go up late Nov or early Dec.

Post your reviews here

Here is a summary of details:

Have you read a book and at the end said you must read another by this author but haven't? Then this Challenge is for you. There are so many amazing authors but sometimes we get caught up in reading all the new we forget about the authors that have already impressed, excited us, gave us what all readers want, a great read, that wow moment, so this Challenge is to show all the authors that have pleased us already how thankful we are by reading more of their literary works.  Note - part of a series is not eligible, that is the true challenge.

SURPRISE GIVEAWAY WINNER

Zoe from In The Next Room - She has been amazing at this Challenge.  Zoe, I will send you a book of your choice from Book Depository up to $15. 

Thanks for supporting my Challenge.

  1. I have read more from Sam Hayes, Linwood Barclay, Lisa Genova and Pamela Samuels Young. I'm currently reading another from Joe Hill and I really want to get to Anita Shreve and Lolly Winston before end of year.

    I didn't realise it would be so hard to find stand alone's, my goodness.

  2. I have no idea how this challenge works, but I also liked Night Road, by Kristin Hannah. I just read "True Colors" by her and liked it also. One of my favorite new authors I found the end of 2010, was Jodi Thomas. I read quite a few of her books this year.

  3. I wound up reading just one more by Jennifer Cruz, and it was good, a bit of a thriller, Maybe This Time.

    Wanted to let you know about a kindle book lending site, not sure if you've heard of it -

  5. I am not doing any challenges this year... but I ended up reading all 3 Sarah Addison Allen's books this year! So far, other "non-new" fiction author I read this year were Lisa Genova, Gayle Forman, Carolyn Turgeon, Tess Gerritsen, Heather Gudenkauf which actually aren't that many since I'd read 55 fiction so far (excluding those I abandoned). I guess I do like reading new authors quite a lot!

  7. you want a extra challenge with books? do you tried reading the famous "Don Quixote"? if you can read this book, you will be my hero, because I can't reach even the half of this book, is so bored, the plot is always the same, I don't understand why people call it "the most great master piece of the literature".
