[Leaving the 2010 details here because I never made a post about it but wanted to keep it for my ~records.)
Next I year I am FOR SURE going to participate in Kristi/The Story Siren's 2010 Debut Author Challenge. Those of you who know of my Tenners love know that I am already ecstatic to read all the debuts coming out next year.
And if you want to know what the 2010 Debut Author Challenge IS, here is an excerpt from Kristi's post:
What is the 2010 Debut Author Challenge?
- The objective is to read a set number of YA (Young Adult) or MG (Middle Grade) novels from debut authors published this year.* I'm going to challenge everyone to read at least 12 debut novels! I’m hoping to read at least 30! You don’t have to list your choices right away, but if you do feel free to change them throughout the year. I will also be focusing on mostly Young Adult novels.
- Anyone can join, you don’t need a blog to participate. If you don’t have a blog you can always share your views by posting a review on Amazon.com/BarnesandNoble.com/GoodReads/Shelfari, or any other bookish site.
- The challenge will run from January 1, 2010- December 31, 2010.
- You can join at anytime!
You can read the rest of the post here.
I'm supposed to list the debut books I want to read next year, but I kind of want to read all of the Tenner books. Plus the non Tenner debut books. Luckily I have already read a few I wanted to (The Naughty List, Guardian of the Dead, The Iron King, The Secret Year, The Body Finder are a few) but here are only a fraction of the others I want to read. I will add books to it until I get too lazy to add any more. And I'm not adding the ones that come out on 12/23 (Scones and Sensibility, Magic Under Glass, etc) So, in no particular order (if I have read them they're bolded instead of italicized):
