How is January already over? You want to know how I’m doing with my 2012 challenges? Not great!

I haven’t read any books from my “dusty” shelf, and I haven’t read any books by a debut author published in 2012. But hey it’s just the beginning of the year! I still hope to do okay in these challenges. 🙂

Here is my “dusty” bookshelf picture for The Dusty Bookshelf Mini Challenge. I really need to get to reading all these great books!

2012 Debut Author Challange

Kathryn Cooper

The Story Siren is hosting the 2012 Debut Author Challenge! I was hesitant to sign up because I wasn’t sure if I read a lot of debut authors. I feel like I’m constantly catching up on other books my favorite authors have written or finishing a series. I thought about it some more and realized I was already planning on reading some debuts and didn’t know it.  It’s also hard to know if a debut author writes clean fiction so I just have to take a risk and read it. If the book turns out not to be clean I stop reading it and move on to the next book. =) I’m trying to read at least twelve 2012 debut author books for the challenge. Here’s my list so far.


Click the title to see the book on goodreads.com.

1. The Queen of Kentucky by Alecia Witaker
2. Cinder by Marissa Meyer
3. First Date by Krista McGee
4. Ditched: A Love Story by Robin Mellom
5. Fracture by Megan Miranda
6. Incarnate by Jodi Meadows
7. Everneath by Brodi Ashton
8. Article 5 by Kristen Simmons

. . . and those are just the books being released in the month of January. 2012 should be a great book year!
