2011 Debut Author Challenge

Another year, another YA Debut Author Challenge. I didn't manage to complete the challenge last year, but really loved participating. I'm hoping that this year I will be more successful!

If you haven't heard of the Debut Author Challenge (??), it is hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren. The objective is to read at least 12 YA books from debut authors published in 2011. You can sign up for the challenge here, but make sure to read through the guidelines before you do!

So, let's see my (very) tentative list of my 2011 debut reads. First off, there are the books by the YA Rebels. I have been watching their channel on youtube for aaaages now and feel like I know them. So, these authors are getting top billing on my TBR list for 2011.
