I REALLY should be turning on one of my exercise dvds, or the Wii fit right now, since I am at my parents’ house for the Holiday, and they are at the YMCA. That should be inspiring me, and also…it’s my one chance at using their TV! So I’ll post this quickly.

Other than the 50 books in a year challenge I’ve never done a reading challenge before. When I saw the 2010 New Author Challenge I thought this would be a great one to start with. Since I got on twitter I’ve heard about so many great upcoming books, and got to chat with some new authors, and I really want to support book publishing in general. Best seller’s and famous authors are fun to read I guess, I usually hide from the trendy mass population books (anything with an Oprah sticker for example) haha, but I love to find new exciting things to read.

Here is the scoop on what I am going to be doing, as explained by Kristi, you can find more information at the Story Siren’s Site:

•The objective is to read a set number of YA (Young Adult) or MG (Middle Grade) novels from debut authors published this year.* I’m going to challenge everyone to read at least 12 debut novels! I’m hoping to read at least 30! You don’t have to list your choices right away, but if you do feel free to change them throughout the year. I will also be focusing on mostly Young Adult novels.
•Anyone can join, you don’t need a blog to participate. If you don’t have a blog you can always share your views by posting a review on Amazon.com/BarnesandNoble.com/GoodReads/Shelfari, or any other bookish site.
•The challenge will run from January 1, 2010- December 31, 2010. You can join at anytime!

Look at all the great books that will be coming out:
Debut Authors
The Tenners
Class of 2k10

Ahhh! So many new books, I guess I’ll never get to my TBR Shelf that I spoke about in my last post.

Right Now, I really want Brightly Woven, as I am a sucker for High Fantasty. I have it pre-ordered. Hex Hall, Firespell, and Before I Fall, and 13 Treasures look like Melissa Books as well.
