2010 Debut Author Challenge!
I promise to read at least twelve MG or YA books published by debut authors in 2010. I also promise not to avoid doing laundry for six days and then do seven loads in a mad rush on Sunday and then lazily leave the baskets of clean but unfolded clothes in various rooms so that anyone who needs clean underwear has to go foraging naked through our freezing house.
I think the reading sounds more likely. And I’ve begun to plan it out, at least a little:
- JANUARY Eighth Grade Superzero
- FEBRUARY: A Match Made in High School, Magic Under Glass
- MARCH: Hex Hall, Reinvention of Edison Thomas, Princess for Hire
- APRIL: Cinderella Society, The Witchy Worries of Abbie Adams
- MAY: Harmonic Feedback
- JUNE: Sea
- JULY:
- AUGUST:
- SEPTEMBER:
- OCTOBER:
- NOVEMBER:
- DECEMBER:
These are vaguely ordered by the months of their planned release, emphasis on vague. By May I will be better able to look forward and plan the rest of the year. That’s way too imaginary for me right now.
So. If I can make it through the snow, I’ll go to the bookstore tomorrow and get stuck in. At least that will give me an excuse not to do laundry.
You mentioned Upstart Crow’s blog recently…have you heard about their client, Josh Berk’s, debut out this week?

From what I’ve heard, it’s heartbreaking and hilarious. Maybe this would be a good July read??
