[EDIT: Monday, April 30, 2012] After reading about the plagiarism thing that was revealed last week, I decided to make this a personal challenge like my “2012 Reading Goal” and to change some of the rules of this post from the first time I posted about this challenge on this page for me. [EDIT]
[EDIT]
Objective: To read & review a minimum of ten fiction adult, young adult or middle grade debut novels between the dates of January 1, 2012 – December 31, 2012.
- Any advance reader copies you read from 2012 BEFORE the January 1st start date DO NOT count toward the challenge!
- Read 10 books by the end of the year
Book Guidelines:
- Must be the author’s YA, MG, or adult debut, released in 2012.
List of Books I Read for the Challenge
I don’t know if I can read 10 debut novels in one year, but I’ll try, since I usually read novels from authors who wrote many books and from authors who released their debut novel the previous year.
