2010 Debut Author Challenge

Posted 6 November, 2010 by Danny in / 0 Comments

Okokeeee I know we Bookworms are rather late for this challenge but better late than never, righty? This challenge is hosted by the wonderful Kristi @ The Story Siren who I simply adore!

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!

* I would like to limit the novels to those released in 2010.
