Kristi at The Story Siren is hosting her Third Annual Debut Author Challenge. I entered late this last year (and won for July--woot!) and have decided that I always need to take part in this challenge. It's a great way to learn about up and coming authors, the newest titles, and to meet all sorts of book bloggers. I love it.
And, Kristi has already put together a handy-dandy spread sheet of novels that qualify for this challenge. I have already signed up for tours for Julia Karr's XVI and know that I'll be reading books like Across the Universe and The Water Wars. This challenge is super fun and easy--you just try to read one new author per month, but if you miss a month it's no big deal.
