{ ++ } This year I am entering Kristi's (The Story Siren) Debut Author challenge. You can find all of the relevant info, buttons, newsletter sign-ups, and everything else here, but the gist of it is...
CHALLENGE OBJECTIVE:
- To read & review a minimum of twelve young adult or middle grade debut novels between the dates of January 1, 2012 - January 31, 2013.*
*The 2013 extension is so that December Debuts can be read and count toward the challenge.

- You must have a blog to post your reviews or be a member of Goodreads.
- Your blog must be written in English.
- Deadline to join is May 31, 2012.
BOOK GUIDELINES:
- Must be a young adult or middle grade title.
- Must be the author’s YA or MG debut, released in 2012.
- If an author has a previous novel published for adults or children, they can still qualify for the challenge.
- If an author has a previous YA or MG title, they do not qualify for the challenge.
{ ++ } I wanted to share my list of the 2012 debuts I am for sure going to read. I am hoping to read more than 12; however, I am also hoping to spend some time wittling down my personal TBR stack I've accumulated this last year. So we'll see how it goes! :) I will come back here to add links to my reviews once I have read and reviewed the books, so check back!
