Ahhh so many amazing choices! Some were easy, because of the love I held for the novel. Some incredibly hard because I loved multiple options… but oh, 2011 was such a brilliant year for debuts!

Wish I didn’t have to vote in every category. there were 3 that i hadn’t read any of the books listed and it didn’t feel right to just choose one at random.. :/

Here’s hoping some of my favorites come in first!
