2012 Debut Author Challenge

I started my blog back in June and that's when I started noticing all these challenges around the blogging community. I didn't know what they were all about at first, but when I finally figured it out, I was super sad I wouldn't be able to join any until the new year. But the time has finally come!

The challenge I've been most looking forward to is the Debut Author Challenge hosted by The Story Siren. The concept is pretty simple. You challenge yourself to read x amount of books by debut authors throughout the year. Throughout the main challenge there will be mini monthly challenges and somewhere along the lines there will be prizes (I would be more specific, but I don't actually know when yet).

There are 144 books on the Goodreads list so far, so there's plenty to choose from. So far, this is what my list of books I (hope) to read for the challenge:

1) Incarnate by Jodi Meadows
2) Everneath by Veronica Rossi
3) Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
