The Debut Author Challenge is a great challenge. A lot of times we stick with authors that we know or ones that we have heard about from other people. With this challenge we get to spotlight the ones that are just starting out. You can find out more about the challenge here from The Story Siren.

I'm sure I will find more along the way. This is just a start.
Great start! I have a couple of those books on my list as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is the sort of challenge I wouldn't mind doing if the rules weren't a little too strict for my taste. If it was one where I could read any novel by a debut author no matter what genre, and under the assumption that they'd only written one book thus far, then that would be fine, but I think I'd be hard-pressed to come up with enough books written by YA authors who are debuting in 2011 specifically.
ReplyDeleteStill, it'll be interesting to see the reviews that you put up for this challenge. Might help me find some good new authors!
Great choices!! I'll be reading most of these as well :) can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year!!! Wishing you all the best!!
