Books At Midnight: 2011 Debut Author Challenge

2011 Debut Author Challenge

-renewed determination- I kind of failed at this last year, but I WILL DO IT IN 2011. I love reading debut authors, but I'm fairly/really lax in updating a list. Debut books, I'm coming for you~

If you're interested in signing up, here's the information link, as hosted by the lovely Kristi at The Story Siren. Participating too? Let me know! :)

I'm try to be a little more modest this year with a goal of 15 books, though there are so many ah-mazing authors debuting this year, hopefully I'll get to read more. Here's my ~~lust/~~read list (wishlist moved):

(links to my reviews)
1. Wither by Lauren DeStefano
2. Purple Daze by Sherry Shahan
3. Enclave by Ann Aguirre
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.

The read books will have links to my reviews.

I've just sprung back into the blogosphere, so I'm not familiar with many debut books getting rave reviews. If you know any that are must, must, must reads, I'd LOVE to hear! :D

Good luck with the challenge! I joined this one for the first time, and am excited about reading so many great new authors! You might want to check out XVI by Julia Karr. Awesome book!

Happy reading!

Well I've only read three debut books so far but Across the Universe has been getting lots of hype and people have been raving about it.

I'm not participating in the challenge this year since I have no time to (college! massive amounts of papers to write!) and because I kinda failed at it last year, lol. I'm also trying to read more "deliberately" so... I'm just letting myself read whatever.

DIVERGENT & HOURGLASS OMG WANT. *drools...* I know I'm blanking on some titles but the ones I do remember (and also really really want) are Hereafter by Tara Hudson, Virtuosity by Jessica Martinez, The Girl of Fire & Thorns by Rae Carson aaaand Shattered Souls by Mary Lindsey (which has an official synopsis! yay!). GAH, so much awesome this year....and for 2012. Seriously, how can I focus on school when so many shiny pretties are dangling themselves in front of me....?
