4, 5, 14, 18 and 19 are already on my list and I've even ordered two of them! Reading debut novels and more MG/YA in general is something I'm hoping to do better this year, now that I'm back in a place where most of the books are in English and the books I order actually arrive instead of getting lost in the post.
I'm doing the Challenge, too!
(Would it be totally tacky to mention that my debut novel is on the Challenge list, too? Yep, pretty tacky...)
I found you on CC, and I am doing the challenge too. I've already picked up one of my books : "THE LATTE REBELLION".
I have a feeling I'm definitely going to be reading more than 12 as well. I keep forgetting to add The Iron Witch to my list, so thanks for the reminder! :P
Mary - that's great that you can get books more consistently now! You always used to have the worst time. And it's hard to see what everyone else is reading and not be able to get your hands on a copy. :)
Darby - there's nothing wrong with throwing in a plug for your book! :)
Amiss - CC is a great place, isn't it? :) Happy reading!
Logan - there are too many great books coming out to stop at 12, aren't there? :) I keep hearing great things about The Iron Witch, so I'm really looking forward to it.
OK. I'm convinced. I need to sign up for this.
I've already read a couple of ARCs, Darby's Griffin Rising, and Choker. Good start.
I have ordered 1, 2, 4 & 5. I have a huge number in my cart and check out a few at a time...(yay! it's 2011!)
Thank you for adding The Liar Society to your list! We hope you enjoy it!
You've just made my day to see Dogsled Dreams on your list! Thank you so much!
Woot! I'm thrilled POSSESSION made your list! I hope you like it. :)
All you authors with books on my list, I'm psyched to read them! Darby, i'mgoing to look for your book too. :)
I did "Across the Universe" for my first Debut Author Challenge book - looking forward to your thoughts!
