Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

For those that enjoy reading and tracking new author reads, this challenge is for you! An easy way to find new authors is to review books others post for challenges. Also take a look at Christian Fiction Devourers Facebook Group and see what books are being recommended there.

LEVELS:
Level 1: 1-10 new authors
Level 2: 11-25 new authors
Level 3: 25-40 new authors
Level 4: 40-60 new authors
Level 5: 60+ new authors

This year, debut novels will be tracked in this challenge as well. You can include in your general new to me author list and write debut next to it or have a separate debut list for your tracking. Or not identify which novels are debut novels. Tailor as works best for you.
