2010 Debut Author Challenge
Hosted by: The Story Siren
I decided I could use one more thing to distract me from writing and use up all my money so I'm participating in the Debut Author Challenge!
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 think most of my money will go to books next year, too! Thanks so much for including Paranormalcy! I can also testify that Stephanie Perkin's Anna and the Boy Masterpiece is FREAKING AMAZING. So excited to read more debut novels next year, too!
Valerie - I love your list and have Paranormalcy at the top of mine too!
I'm excited to read the Body Finder, I can't wait till 2010 :) !!!
Such a great list and 2010 is going to be a great year for books! I have already read THE NAUGHTY LIST since Suzanne is one of my critique partners and I got to read her second book SO MANY BOYS too! They are delicious! And I also am looking forward to PARANORMALCY, ANNA AND THE BOY MASTERPIECE, THE SECRET YEAR, THE TENSION OF OPPOSITES and so many others.
YAY! Thanks for joining the challenge! It's going to be so much fun! And you've got a great list of books! Good luck!
I'm so happy and honored (and flattered) to find ANNA AND THE BOY MASTERPIECE on your list! Thank you very, very much. And thanks for participating in this amazing challenge!
(And *I* can testify that Kiersten's Paranormalcy is also freaking amazing!)
Wow, I'm honored that Split made the list. Thanks for including it and happy reading!
