Add your review links for August to the Mister Linky below. (This does not mean that the book has to have an August release date, it simply means that you read and reviewed the novel this month) Remember to put in your direct post url, not your blog url!
Also note that not all partcipants are from the US. This means some novels will be debuts for some countries and not others. Do not use the titles on the Mister Linky list as a reference.
International readers (non US residents) you have the option of reading US books and using those release dates, as well as using international release dates. Those in the US, I ask that you only use US release dates as most novels are readily available in the US.
This is NOT the place to sign up for the challenge!
Sign the Mister Linky as the example shows below.
Your Name: The Secret Year (The Story Siren)
Your URL: http://www.thestorysiren.com/2010/01/2010-the-secret-year.html
Good Luck!!

Have to get the last of my books in before August ends. Eeek.
I was unsure if I Am Number Four is considered a debut. It's a little difficult to find info on the authors. But, I'm pretty sure it is.
At least one of the authors is definitely a debut….
