Like I've said, I am not a book challenge person. I just don't do well with them. But the Debut Author Challenge is different! I finished the 2010 challenge, reading more than my personal goal of 20 debuts in 2010, and now I'm back to join the 2011 Debut Author Challenge, hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.
The goal of the Debut Author Challenge is to read at least 12 books by debut middle-grade or YA authors in 2011. Again, I'm going to make my personal goal to read at least 20 debuts. I'll keep track of 'em here on this post (like I did last year on this post).
