2012 Reading Challenges

I will be doing at least 3 reading challenges next year - The Story Siren's Debut Author Challenge, Chick Loves Lit's Sophomore Reading Challenge, and IceyBook's and I Like These Book's The Standalone Reading Challenge. Whew!

The Debut Author Challenge is a fun way to discover new authors through reading there first published book in 2012.  I'm not sure if there is a set amount that you have to read but I'm going to give myself the goal of at least 1 per month(12). The challenge is 12 books - I'm a pretty good guesser.


1. Everneath by Brodi Ashton (January 24)
2. Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood (February 7)
3. Harbringer by Sara Wilson Etienne (February 2)
4. The Queen of Kentucky by Alecia Whitaker (January 2)
5. Cinder by Marissa Meyer
6. Shadow's Edge bu Maureen Lipinski
7. May B A Novel by Caroline Starr Rose
8. Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen
