How lovely to support debut writers, and how cool you've been spotlighted as a debut author yourself. :)

I think I've only heard of a couple of these new books!

Thank you for adding me!

I have a much smaller list so far! Love these choices. I agree, it's so fun to go through lists of books for future reading!
Nicely worded post! I too got so excited to see my own book on other's lists! So far, I read 34 2011 debuts this year. Much more than I thought!

First of all, congratulations on seeing yourself on those lists! That is incredible and exciting!

Second, I don't know! I've been reading a lot of indie novels lately, most of them debut novels, and I'm enjoying it. I add them to my wishlist as I come across them. So many great ones!

I'm still so rooted in 2011 that I haven't given much thought to anything 2012 yet. But your post is inspiring me. I'll have to check out this Debut Author Challenge. What a great way to begin a year.

2011-12-13T19:34:45.574-05:00

Wow, there are a lot of blogger names I recognize here. So many books I can't wait to read. Good thing I'm getting a lot of gift cards for Christmas. :D

Robyn – Thank you. I’ll read Tess’s book and Beth’s was awesome.

Stephen – Ooh, Kindle Fire. I’m thinking of getting one.

Talli – I didn’t participate in last year’s challenge, which made no sense since I read so many debut novels.

Theresa – Happy reading to you, too.

Movies – No, this is a different novel. The summaries don’t match. But the one you mentioned sounds interesting.

Golden Eagle – I’m glad you found something you liked.

Karen – I love sharing my picks.

Dezmond – Thanks so much for telling me. :)

Deb – I took awhile to peruse the list. I know I can’t read them all, but I’d like to try.

BUTTER has been adapted into a moie, right? It's a satire on American politics put seen through the lens of butter art, no?

2011-12-12T10:21:54.028-05:00

I will be loading up on books once I receive a Kindle Fire for Christmas. Not sure which ones yet. But I'll download at least a dozen to start off the year.

2011-12-12T10:12:14.841-05:00

I read so many debut books in 2011. Awesome books. Especially your book, Medeia. That's the one that really got me excited. And Tess Hilmo's MG novel, With a Name Like Love. Those were my top two favorites. Besides my crit partner's book, Across The Universe.

2011-12-12T07:19:24.306-05:00

I like reading debuts too! I think as a writer, it's easy to appreciate a debut. Thanks for posting your list. I'm going to check these out.

2011-12-12T04:14:06.659-05:00

Love the challenge. There's a lot there in your list I've not heard about. Looks like my Christmas reading list is growing longer.
