2011 is going to be a good year. Strike that---it's going to be an amazingly fantastic year for YA debuts!!
So once again, I am taking the Debut Author Challenge hosted by The Story Siren!! The idea is to commit to reading and reviewing at least twelve YA or MG titles by debut authors---the books must be read between January 1st 2011 and December 31, 2011. For full guidelines, details and faqs, go HERE.

Ok, so...on to my list!! I am listing more than 12 here, I can't pare it down because there are so many awesome debuts coming out! I'll be adding to and changing this list as I discover more debuts!

  1. I am considering the challenge. I love new authors. My fear is I may not be able to fulfill the challenge. I've not tried a challenge before. I don't want to fail because I don't have enough time to read all the books vie committed to.
