2011 Debut Author Challenge participant information:
- The objective of the DAC is to read at least twelve novels from Young Adult or Middle Grade Authors. While twelve is the minimum there is no maximum limit! I encourage readers who can read more than twelve to do so!
- Anyone can join. You don't have to be a blogger, and you don't have to live in the United States.
- You do not have to have an blog written in English to participate.
- You can join at anytime. The challenge runs from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.
Here's a list of 2011 debuts that I'm contemplating reading. I'll update it throughout the year to reflect what I've actually read.
EDIT:
And what did I actually read? It's shameful, really. I only managed to read 3 debut novels this year. But many are still on my to-read list! The year flew by, what can I say?
I read...
XVI by Julia Karr (review)
Across the Universe by Beth Revis (review)
Divergent by Veronica Roth (review)
I think I'll join the challenge again in 2012 and make a concerted effort to read more than 3 debuts!

Thanks so much for having XVI on your list! Happy Reading!
You and I have a lot of the same books on our lists for 2011. In fact, the only one I don't have is Falling Under. I'll have to check that one out to see if I need to add it to my list too. Happy reading!
Some of my favorite books were debut novels last year, and I am now following many of those authors waiting for more great books from them. I recently got an couple of ARC copies of Across the Universe and will be giving one away during my 21 Day Blogoversary/Birthday Bash starting Dec 1.
Julia - Can't wait to read it! :)
Kathy - I think I must have seen your list just before I created mine, haha. I should definitely add Frances O'Roark Dowell's YA debut to my list too.
Jan - I confess; your 2010 debut reviews inspired me to join this year. You had so many favorites! Happy Blogoversary/Birthday!
thanks so much for joining the challenge! hope you have fun and get those 12 debuts read!! happy reading and good luck!
