2011 Debut Author Challenge

Talk about a Teaser Tuesday... try looking at all the mouth-watering debuts hitting the shelves in 2011.  I feel squirmy all over just waiting to get my hot little hands on some of these reads.

The 2011 Debut Author Challenge is hosted by The Story Siren.  Her goal: encourage you to read at least 12 YA or MG novels by debut authors during 2011.  That's only 1 per month -- shouldn't be too much to ask!  (Full details on her blog.)  She has a wonderful list which provides titles by release month, and I've got quite a little list built for myself after just spending a few minutes scrolling through.  Some of the titles I can't wait to read:

Hourglass - Myra McIntyre
Warped - Maurissa Guibord
Timeless - Alexandra Monir
A Touch Mortal - Leah Clifford
Darkness Becomes Her - Kelly Keaton
The Fourth Stall - Chris Rylander (I already have the ARC, but will have to wait until 2011 to read it)
Wither - Lauren DeStefanos
Angelfire - Courtney Allison Moulton
Blood Magic - Tessa Gratton
Starcrossed - Josephine Angeline
Divergent - Veronica Roth
Die for Me - Amy Plum

Can you tell my tastes run to paranormal?  There's 12 right there.  And I'm sure I'll be lulled in by even more beautiful covers and tantalizing reviews.  If you'd like to take part in the challenge - and support debut authors - head over to The Story Siren to sign up.
