2013 Debut Author Challenge

I am totally going to be participating in the Debut Author Challenge over at hobbitsies.net for 2013. This will be my third time to sign up for it. I love reading books by debut authors. Every year, I find a few that are sure to become new favorites.

The goal is to read at least 12 YA debuts in 2013. I think that I can manage that pretty easily. I'd like to try to read at least 20 debuts off of my list of potentials, but I also want to work on getting the unread books that I already own read, so we'll see how it goes!

I'm sure that this list will get longer the more I look through catalogs, but these are some of the debuts that I'm looking forward to (possibly) reading as part of this challenge:
  1. All Our Pretty Songs by Sarah McCarry
  2. Altered by Jennifer Rush
  3. Arclight by Josin L. McQuein
  4. The Beautiful and the Cursed by Page Morgan
  5. Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April Genevieve Tucholke
  6. The Cadet of Tildor by Alex Lidell *
  7. Chantress by Amy Butler Greenfield *
  8. The City of a Thousand Dolls by Miriam Forster
  9. Dualed by Elsie Chapman *
  10. Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger

  2. Ah, hell. My list is going to take me forever to compile, and it's probably going to be a bazillion books long. I want to read all the books! The ones I own and the ones I don't. :P

    1. I want them all too! It was a tough effort to keep my list fairly small. I have so many unread books on my shelves that I really need to buckle down and try to read those first. But all these shiny new ones! Want.

    1. Me too! The ARCs that I have are taunting me. I am sure that some of them won't make it to January without being read!
