Happy Debut YA Birthday!

I am REALLY excited this week because my super-cool cousin, Leigh, made me a Debut YA Book Birthday badge.  My very own badge.  I just want to hug it and love it and call it George.  (Sorry, I slipped into a Looney Toons memory there.)  If anyone lives in the middle of nowhere, Indiana, you should hire Leigh to take your picture or video.  She's quite talented.

So here's the big reveal:

Hope you like it as much as I do, because it's going to be with me for awhile. And by "awhile," I mean pretty much forever.  So let's get on with the party by wishing these debut YA novelists a very happy book birthday:

I'll Be There by Holly Goldberg Sloam (contemporary - multiple POV)

Moonglass by Jessi Kirby (contemporary)

 Girl Wonder by Alexa Martin (contemporary/romance)

Divergent by Veronica Roth (dystopian)

 How I Stole Johnny Depp's Alien Girlfriend by Gary Ghislain (May 4th release - boy POV)

All links take you to the books' Goodreads page.  So dig in and start reading.  Looks like this week brought us quite a lot to celebrate.
