2012 Debut Author Challenge

I decided that I am going to participate in the 2012 Debut Author Challenge, hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren. This is my second time participating in this challenge. I am really looking forward to reading some amazing new authors, and 2012 looks like it's going to be a great year to do it!

I am challenging myself to read at least 20 books by debut authors in 2012, but I am hoping to read a lot more. That shouldn't be a problem, since there are approximately eleventy billion 2012 debuts that I would like to read.

  4. I think I'm going to participate in this challenge for the first time this year. I'm sorta new to the whole challenges thing, but I have a friend who's going to work the challenge as a buddy-read with me. :)

    I was going to say that I'm most looking forward to Veronica Rossi's Under the Never Sky, but when I looked at your list again, I realized that there were SEVERAL that I had already planned on reading.

    P.S. Did your list already grow since this morning? I saw this post earlier, and I could swear there were only twenty-something books listed then. ;)

  5. @starryeyedjen - Hahaha, yes. This morning I was at 24, I think. It'll be impossibly long by January.

  6. I'm kind of afraid of the same thing happening to me, now that I've started. I've always been one to take on a little too much. I'll start with twelve, I think...one for each month maybe, and then I'll see how it progresses. Good luck getting through your list! :)
