2010 Author Debut Challenge


Yep I'm doing another challenge. This button is so cute, how could I not participate!!! Anywayz, this year's Debut Author Challenge is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.

The objective is to read a set number of YA (Young Adult) or MG (Middle Grade) novels from debut authors published this year. Anyone can join even if you don't have a blog. You dont have to list the books in advanced either. Head over to The Story Siren for more details. Im going to try to keep all books on my list  to those that debuted in either 2009 or 2010. Head over to the sign up page to participate!!!

The challenge will run from January 1, 2010 - December 31, 2010!!!

If you're sorta stumped and don't know which books to go on your list, check out www.authorsnow.com it features tons of middle grade and young adult debut authors!!!
I think I am going to start with reading 20 books by debut authors, but I'll probably add more along the road!!!
