2010 Author Debut Challenge List

Kristi @ The Story Siren is hosting a 2010 Author Debut Challenge. I've never joined a reading challenge before so I thought this would be the perfect time since there are so many debut books that I want to read in 2010.

Here's more information on the challenge directly from 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.* 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!
