Last year I found a few new favorite authors/ books through this challenge, including Marie Rutkoski's The Winner's Curse trilogy. I just bought the final book today. Reading additional books and getting distracted in pretty much a death blow to completing a challenge, so this month I am determined to (mostly) stay focused on getting new books/ authors read. If I make it, I will double back to books by authors who are "repeaters." That means, at minimum, I've got 21 books to get through in about 6 weeks. Not insurmountable, but no little task, either. (updated- 19!)
Here's where I stand to wit:

The RocTBF is kind of a big deal. If you are anywhere around upstate New York on May 14th, you should definitely come on by. It's free to attend any of the workshops or panels. There are food trucks and lunch baskets for sale and Barnes and Nobles is selling books by all authors in attendance. And if you see me, say hi! I'll be there as a volunteer. Obviously.
