2010 Debut Author Challenge

Now that I'm finishing up school I will have time to do a lot more reading. One great way to make sure I stay on task is to sign up for challenges, so I am signing up for the 2010 Debut Author Challenge hosted by The Story Siren.
  • Kristy is challenging us to read at least 12 debut YA (Young Adult) or MG (Middle Grade) novels.
  • The challenges runs between January 1st 2010 to December 31st, 2010.
  • You don't have to be a blogger to participate.
  • The books need to be released in 2010.
Click here for more information about the challenge. Kristy has listed some websites to go to when choosing your books for the challenge. These books can change throughout the year so don't worry if you feel like reading books that aren't on your original list.

The Secret Year- Jennifer Hubbard (January 7th)

    Congrats to Amy as well.

    Finishing a book is a huge challenge and getting it published is not easy either. I hope I can speak for all book lovers when I say that we appreciate all the hard work you put into your books.

    Congrats to you too Kiersten! I can't believe I have to wait almost a whole year for your book to come out, but hopefully I'll be able to keep myself busy until then.
