I participated in The Story Siren’s Debut Author Challenge last year, and plan to do so again this year. Since I didn’t have a website of my own at the time, all of my Debut Author Challenge reviews from last year are posted to my Goodreads account.
The goal of the Debut Author Challenge is to read and review at least 12 YA/middle grade books by new authors to the genre. This could be the author’s first book ever, or an adult fiction author’s first YA title. The release date needs to be in 2011.
Here is a tentative list of books I’d like to read for the challenge. I may or may not get to all of them, but I’ll sure try!
