I likely won't get to all of these, but it'd be nice! My goal, though, is to read at least 20 of them.
Does anyone have any 2011 debut recommendations they'd like to share? :)
Thanks so much for joining the challenge! It looks like you've got some great books on your list! Happy reading and good luck!
ReplyDeleteAll look like they're going to be promising books, Jenny! I'm still trying to decide if I should join this year. Which one are you looking forward to the most?
ReplyDeleteEmi, you should totally participate!
ReplyDeleteI think my top 3 most anticipated are Divergent, Wither, and Across the Universe.
Ooh, a very good list of books! I have quite a few of them on my own list! :) 2011 looks like it's going to be a GREAT debut year!
ReplyDeleteEntwined, Wither, and The Emerald Atlas are my top three anticipated.
Choker, Vesper, Falling Under, The Water Wars, and Clarity also look really good - unsure if you've heard of them/are into them, but they're suggestions. :) And if you're doing the Contemps Challenge as well, you can cross-over Like Mandarin (which you have) and Rival.
Dang I just realized I listed most of the books on MY list, lol. Whoops.
ANYWAY, I'll stop rambling in a moment. Good luck with your challenge this year! :D
