Mission: #ROCTBF2016 Already!! (#NaBloPoMo)

Each year we have an annual event in Rochester called the Teen Book Festival. I say "we," but I really have nothing to do with it, except that I volunteer every year. It's kind of a big deal. Here's a recap from a real life teen, Emily (whom I know not), of last year's event. She did a great job, and this is her pic of the opening ceremony, also known as Truth or Dare with the authors. 

Last year, I challenged myself to read one book by each of the 30 authors that were scheduled to present in what I called Mission: RocTBF2015 (click for my recap). Genius title, right? I almost made it, too, if it weren't for those meddling kids and their dog! Oh, wait. That was something else. Anyway,

This year is Mission: RocTBF2016! The confirmed author list is up to 25 already!! I've read books by six of the authors and pending how I do with the rest of them, I might challenge myself to read a new one by each of them. Here is my pre- Mission prep table. Clearly, It's a work in progress. #JudgeMe
