The New Author Challenge 2010, hosted by Literary Escapism, was all about finding new authors. This was actually pretty easy for me, and not just because of review books.  Actually, only 7 of the 25 were review copies. 3 of them were thanks to my book club. The rest are just me reading eclectically.

1. Shogun – James Clavell
2. No One You Know – Michelle Richmond 
3. The Kitchen House – Kathleen Grissom
4. Heat Wave – Richard Castle
5. Ivory Tower Cop – George Kirkham & Leonard Territo
6. Anthem – Ayn Rand
7. Gossip of the Starlings – Nina de Gramont
8. Black Seconds – Karin Fossum
9. What Do We Do Now? – Keith Malley & Chemda
10. Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual by Michael Pollan
11. Desert Heat – J.A. Jance
12. A Lesson Before Dying – Ernest J. Gaines
13. In Ecstasy – Kate McCaffrey
14. A Reliable Wife – Robert Goolrick
15. The Beach House – Jane Green 
16. Chenxi and the Foreigner – Sally Rippin
17. Killing Orders – Sara Paretsky
18. Possessed – Kate Cann
