FUN!
I signed up for the 2012 Debut Author Challenge, hosted by Kristi of The Story Siren. It’s going to be awesome. Here are the rules and details in case you want to participate:
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.
RULES & GUIDELINES:
• 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’m going to focus on YA debuts so I can keep this challenge as part of YA Cafe. For a list of all 2012 YA/MG debut authors, click here. Next week, I’ll share what titles I’m most excited about reading. There are so many!
Since I don’t normally post reviews, I’m going to fudge the rules a bit. For each book, I’ll pick a question to discuss, so it’ll be more like my book club posts. I’m excited to discuss books for this challenge AND support brand new authors!
