Fantasy Reading Challenge

So, we just happened to stumble upon this challenge yesterday, and decided to go for it! We're going to shoot for the Obsessed level, which means that we have to read 20 books by the end of the year. The list is going to be in a sidebar and starts with Guardian of the Gate. There's not too much time left in the year, but this is supposed to be a challenge after all! If we can't hit 20 from today forward, we'll put what we've already read (this year) on the list. In fact, we might just do it to see how many fantasy books we've read. Allons-y!

2010 Debut Author Challenge

This year we decided that we are going to do at least one challenge, so, after much long debate, we decided to participate in the debut author challenge! We're really excited about it, and are looking forward to discovering great new authors. Last year had some amazing debuts, so hopefully this years are just as great. We want to know, what debuts are you excited about that we should ad to our list? (it's in the sidebar by the way)
