Over at the StorySiren, they are hosting the 2012 Debut Author Challenge: read at least 12 books from 2012 debut YA / MG authors. This is such a great idea, because it gives us all an excuse to read from new & exciting authors. I will definitely be participating.
If you're finding it hard to locate a 2012 debut young adult or middle grade author, download StorySiren's pdf:
U.S. 2012 YA Debuts and/or check out the goodreads listopia list of 2012 Debut Authors. Note that the listopia list is open-source so some of the books may not fit the criteria. Also stop by the multi-author blogs of the Apocalypsies, and Brave New Words - both groups of 2012 debut authors.
Currently, these are the debuts I've picked out to read (though this may change and/or get added to as I go):
So if you haven't yet, join the party!

I went to the library on Thursday, all prepared to pick up some newly released debuts. Turned out they're so popular that my name had to be put on a waiting list for them. WTG, debut authors, but sad for me.
