2013 - Debut Author Challenge

I am signing up for another reading challenge: the 2013 Debut Author Challenge. This challenge is being hosted by Hobbitsies. Read below or follow the image below to sign up and get more information on this challenge.

Goals
I love the Debut Author Challenge because it accomplishes two very awesome things – obviously it helps debut authors out with exposure, but it also helps readers find debut books that they might have otherwise missed, and I think that’s pretty awesome.

Rules
1) You must have a blog, a Goodreads account, a YouTube account, an Amazon account – any where you can post your reviews and share them with others.

2) There is no deadline to join the 2013 Debut Author Challenge, but make sure you give yourself enough time to achieve the goal!

3) ARCs of 2013 debuts read before January 01, 2013 do not count towards your challenge goal.

4) The 2013 debuts must be read between January 01, 2013 – January 31, 2014 to count for the 2013 Debut Author Challenge. The extra month is to allow participants more time to read the December releases.

4) 2013 debuts must be young adult or middle grade in order to count towards the challenge.

5) The title must be the author’s young adult or middle grade debut. If they have previously published an adult title, and this is their first young adult/middle grade title, that counts towards the challenge. If this is their second young adult/middle grade title, it does not count towards the challenge.

6) Each review equals one entry in the monthly prize pack. If you post six review of debut titles in January, you have six entries to win the January prize pack.

My Books Will be Listed Below as I Read Them:
1. Jinx by Sage Blackwood
2. The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd
3. The City of a Thousand Dolls by Miriam Forster
4. Etiquette and Espionage (Finishing School, Book 1) by Gail Carriger
5. Taken by Erin Bowman
6. Misty Circus by Victoria Frances
7. The Menagerie by Tui and Kari Sutherland
8. Pivot Point by Kasie West

11. Seven Kinds of Hell (Fangborn, Book 1) by Dana Cameron
12. Written in Red (The Others, Book 1) by Anne Bishop
