I mentioned at the beginning of the year that I would take part this year in the Debut Author Challenge hosted by Hobbitsies. There are so many wonderful books coming out in 2013 and lots of them are Debuts…
I love the idea of supporting new authors and I love sharing my views on the books I really enjoyed.
So…The challenge asks for at least 12 books to be reviewed. Here is a list of 18 Debuts I am planning to read this year (by release date) – I might read more…but I´m so very excited about all of those!
- Level 2 (January 15) by Lenore Appelhans
- The Madman´s Daughter (January 29th) by Megan Shepherd
- Nobody bus Us (January 29th) by Kristin Halbrook
- The Reece Malcolm List (February 5th) by Amy Spalding
- Dualed (February 26th) by Elsie Chapman
- Strands of Bronze and Gold (March 12th) by Jane Nickerson
- Starstruck (March 12th) by Rachel Shukert
- Pretty Girl-13 (March 19th) by Liz Coley
- The Art of Wishing (March 21st) by Lindsey Ribar
- If you find me (March 26th) by Emily Murdoch
- Taken (April 16th) by Erin Bowman
- Nantucket Blue (May 7th) by Leila Howland
- The rules for disappearing (May 14th) by Ashley Elston
- Truth or dare (May 14th) by Jacqueline Green

- Canary (August 1st) by Rachele Alpine

Do you have any of those on your list for this year?

Thanks for the recommendations. Always exciting to see books I haven’t heard about yet. Great blog!
The Madman’s Daughter and Taken are also on my TBR list! Happy reading this year 🙂
What a great way to support new authors! And 18? Love it!!! I’ve been too busy with my own debut of 18 Things that I haven’t had time to read but one book in the new year. That needs to change soon for sure!!
I just read THE ART OF WISHING–so good! I’m trying to read more debuts this year, too.
I try to make it a point to include at least 2 debut authors a month in my reading regiment, so many of these are on my list. I think it’s a fantastic way to support new authors and it’s fun to be like “I loved them way back when!” when they go on to write more books. Hope you enjoy these!
We have quite a few overlaps on our lists, which doesn’t surprise me a bit. 🙂 I can’t wait to read and discuss!
I have many of the same books on my list! I’ve read NOBODY BUT US so far and really enjoyed it. Happy Reading!
Great list! I had a few on my list and added a few more thanks to your recommendations. 🙂
I have Nobody But Us, Pretty Girl – 13, and Taken on my list. So we’ll at least have those in common. 🙂 I’m hoping to knock out a few of mine this month, and since 6 of my 12 are January debuts, it shouldn’t be too hard.
Ooh, this inspires me to make my own list! Dualed and Taken have been on my list for awhile, but I definitely need to make an official 2013 Debut to-read list!
