I participated in this challenge this year (2010)- I know I kept forgetting to check-in – but I absolutely loved it! I think it’s such an awesome way to showcase the new,up and coming authors.
Thank-you!!!! The Story Siren for hosting this challenge!
2011 Debut Author Challenge participant information:
- The objective of the DAC is to read at least twelve novels from Young Adult or Middle Grade Authors. While twelve is the minimum there is no maximum limit! I encourage readers who can read more than twelve to do so!
- Anyone can join. You don’t have to be a blogger, and you don’t have to live in the United States.
- You do not have to have an blog written in English to participate.
- You can join at anytime. The challenge runs from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.
Qualifying books:
- Books must be a Young Adult or Middle Grade novel.
- This must be the authors debut with a release date in 2011.
- If an author has a previous novel published under adult fiction/nonfiction or children’s fiction/nonfiction, they can still qualify for the challenge if they are releasing their YA or MG debut.
So books that I plan on reading? That’s the next question isn’t it? Um… I don’t know yet? Browsing through the list – there are so many titles that are intriguing
So I think I’m going to leave my list open at the moment and fill it in as I read.

Thanks for joining the challenge! Hope you find some great books to add to your list! Good luck and happy reading!
Good luck with the challenge!! Love your open list
I’m going to recommend the May release — The Goddess Test. Fantastic debut!
I’ll definitely check it out! THanks!!!
So many great books to choose from in 2011! Love your open list idea! Happy reading!
I know! There are TOO many
I was afraid that by starting my list I end up with too many on it
THink I’m going to try at least a couple every month. I love The Story Siren’s listing and will be using it as a guide this year!
I reccomend: Entangled – Cat Clarke.
It’s very deep, it’s meant for teens in a way but I suppose It’s much more adult. Amazing book though.
