Anyway, I'll talk more about that in another post. This post is all about The Debut Author Challenge 2011, which is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren. Being the crazy person that I am, I couldn't resist taking part in yet another challenge for the year, so I've gone and signed myself up for it.

Here is the sign up page for this challenge, and Kristi has also very kindly put together an FAQ, in case you get a little overwhelmed :)
I'm so looking forward to it. Thanks for hosting, Kristi!
Love your choices, I want to read most of them myself. Wither is definitely a book I'm waiting for with anticipation. I'm glad I'm not the only one doing it for the first time :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Alice :) I think there are quite a few people doing this for the first time in 2011, so I'm looking forward to seeing how everyone handles it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the challenge! Looks like you've got a great list started! Good luck and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm doing it for the first time, too!
ReplyDeleteI just had to stop by your blog after seeing Dean as your icon picture. He's awesome. I'm off to check out the rest of your blog now. See you around!
Thanks Kristi :)
ReplyDeleteSmall Review - Hi! Good luck with your challenge, I'm really excited about it! And I totally agree, Dean is awesome, as is Jensen Ackles :D
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see season 5. Hopefully my library will get it soon. I'm going through Dean withdrawals. :P Jensen Ackles is, of course, great too.
