2010 Debut Author Challenge List

This is where I’m planning on keeping track of my completed novels for the 2010 Debut Authors Challenge. Once I have my reviews posted, I’ll link those as well. I’m hoping to read at least 30 debut titles this year, although I’m hoping to get more than that, but my goal will be 30.

Here’s a potential list, that will most likely be added to… have some titles removed… just depending on what I get for review and so on and so forth. I’m sure I’ve forgotten some that I want to read. Feel free to make suggestions.

    I tried counting exactly how much you have listed, i got distracted at 43…

    Yikes! That's a lot of newbies! I'm sorta glad I have quite a few of them on the list already, otherwise I would've been slightly doomed. Still I've added another six to my list (I only checked the titles that intrigued me, if I checked each and every single one I'd be buried under books I fear…)!

    I'm now at 24 :) I might just add another four to get it to 28 – my favourite number, but we'll see :P

    Good god, woman! That's ONE huge list! Mine is totally wimpy compared lol.

    I see a few that I want to read too! Cool! I need four more to finish my list, although I'll probably be adding more as I go. :)

    You need a new calculator, or at least maybe a math tutor… 63 might have a 3 in it but it is more than double 30!! Even I know that and I am useless when it comes to math! ;)

    I can't do these things because then I feel pressured to read one of the titles in the challenge rather than read what I feel like reading in the moment. I can't handle the pressure. ;)
