I have a dream. I dream that one day people will be making their Debut Author to-read lists and MY book will be on them! Until then, I must support my fellow writers who have finally made it to the brink of their dreams and cannot wait for release dates to arrive this year.
Over at The Hobbitsies Book Blog, they are doing a 2013 Debut Writers Challenge, asking people to support and read at least 12 debut author books this year. I went through the list and there were so many goodies to choose from! Alas, I picked my 12 and have displayed them below for your viewing pleasure (because awesome book covers are one of my favorite things!) **Hint, click on the book cover to read the summary on Goodreads!

J.A. Ward Writes 
Taken and Splintered are two covers that really caught my eye. Very interested in reading them both! 🙂
Oh yes, for sure! And there was something about Let the Sky Fall cover that intrigued me as well…excited to read!!! 🙂
We are reading many of the same books. 🙂
Great minds think alike 🙂
Whyyyy do I not have more time to read? They ALL look so good…
It seems like I never have enough time to read everything I want to…there is always a full shelf of un-reads on my bookshelf and still I am always reserving things at the library!
Oooh, they all look so good! I’ve never made a reading list for myself before, but this really makes me want to set some reading goals.
I have never really made a reading list either until this one. Usually I just shuffle through what I have waiting at the library or on my to-read book shelf. But I do think it is important to support debuting authors so I made this list to remind myself of the ones I need to read 🙂
