Awesome Author
Hosted by Alyce at At Home with Books
The idea behind this challenge is to read works by authors who have been recommended to you time and again, but you haven’t gotten around to reading them yet. These are the authors that everyone else tells you are awesome, thus the “Awesome Author Challenge” title.
The Rules:
The challenge starts January 1, 2010 and ends December 31, 2010.
Crossover from other challenges is allowed.
Choose the level at which you would like to participate, post about it and come back and leave a link to your post in Mister Linky.
Titles and authors do not have to be predetermined, and can change at any time.
Books can come from any genre or reading level, the only requirement is that you have heard great things about the author, but haven’t yet read any of their works.
The Levels:
Easy: Choose three authors and read at least one title from each author.
Moderate: Choose six authors and read at least one title from each author.
Challenging: Choose ten authors and read at least one title from each author.
Over-Achieving: Anything over ten authors.
I’ll be choosing the moderate level. I need to think a bit more about the authors.

on December 12th, 2009 at 6:00 pmJust came across your blog and will be challenging my students and parents to a handful of book challenges for the 2010-2011 school year.
Exactly what I needed to get middle school students motivated to read.
