Debut Author Challenge

December 17, 2010 etc 2

I have decided! I’m participating in the 2011 Debut Author Challenge! What is the Debut Author Challenge you ask? Good question. The Story Siren can answer it better than me! Click here to find out more information and/or join. Basically those participating challenge themselves to read a certain number of YA/MG books by 2011 debut authors. There are so many debut books I’m looking forward; it seemed silly not to participate.

At this point I’m not exactly sure how many I want to read. I need to spend some more time looking at what is being released. This is my first time doing something like this so I am going to start with one a month. I’ll likely change that but it’s a start. The following are the titles I’m most looking forward to!
Unearthly by Cynthia Hand
XVI by Julia Karr
Across the Universe by Beth Revis
Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton
Wither by Lauren DeStefano
Entwined by Heather Dixon
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
Bumped by Megan McCafferty
Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini
Divergent by Veronica Roth
Never Sit Down in a Hoop Skirt and Other Things I learned in Southern Belle by Crickett Rumley
Bad Taste in Boys by Carrie Harris
The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab
The Faerie Ring by Kiki Hamilton
I’m sure there are more that I want to read. I’ll have to do some more research. If you’re participating too what books are you most anticipating?

    I’m doing this challenge too. I have already read Unearthly so I can’t count that one, but I did really enjoy it. It seems Across the Universe is a popular one on almost everyone’s list!
