Well, I've decided to participate in the Debut Authors Challenge for 2012. Yay me. :) More info can be found over at The Story Siren's
2012 Debut Author Challenge Info post. Mad props to Kristi for putting this on for the 4th year.
The rules say at least 12 books; this is more than 12. I expect I'll be adding as the year goes on. I'd love to read them all, but if I read at least 12 of them I'll be happy. :) All of these books can be found on Goodreads. I've also added the release date (or a good estimate, I apologize if any are wrong, I'll update when I can) and the publisher (instead of the imprint). Plus I've added some covers to make it look interesting. ;)

Wow. That's a lot of books, and it's nowhere near the amount of actual YA debuts for 2012. I hope I can read all of these, one way or another. ;) I hope I can keep from reading the ones I have until January so they count.
(Also, if you happen know which authors are Canadian, besides Kathleen Peacock and Leah Bobet, that'd be awesome. I need to read more YA written by Canadians.)
I'm not sure if I'm going to join the DAC yet because I already have the BIGGEST TBR list I wanna get through. I love following others though because I can add a selection to my list. :)
ReplyDeleteWOW, some amazing titles. I hadn't heard of some of these, and I have some on my list that I don't see on yours! SO many awesome books, and not enough time to read them.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking I might join this year too!
Thank you so much for including me on your list. It's still so surreal to me that people want to read my book. :) I'm looking forward to reading lots of debuts this year as well. You have a great list.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for including me on your list! I agree with Kasie -- it's totally surreal that people want to read my book! Thanks again!
