Gosh what a great list!!! I cannot wait for CC's new series!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm excited for all the great books coming out next year. I know, I can't wait for Cassandra's new series either!! We're so excited for it.
ReplyDelete2010 is going to be a great year with so many exciting books set to be released! I can't wait!
ReplyDelete(Jen)
Oh, I can hardly wait for 2010!!
ReplyDeleteI know! I can't either.
ReplyDeleteYAY! Thanks for joining the challenge! It's going to be so much fun! And you've got a great list of books! Good luck!
ReplyDelete:) great list- aww you used my button. LOL
ReplyDeleteOf course! I totally had to use your button. I love it!
ReplyDeleteStory Siren-You're so welcome. What a great idea!! Thank you for hosting the challenge.
I don't get what you mean by "debut author". Jennifer Lynn Barnes has previously written before, so do you mind explaining?
ReplyDeleteSkye, debut means first time author. Jennifer Lynn Barnes being on the list is probably an accident and meant to go on the bottom half of this post.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand who qualifies for entering the challenge. You can make reviews of books that have already been release this year? or it's only for books that have not yet been release? in that case how do you put your hands on unreleased books in order to make the review? or this is a challenge for editors or people related to the books world only? I don't live in the US and english is not my maternal language but I love reading YA novels in english that I buy online or when visiting the US.
ReplyDeleteHi Nerioska,
ReplyDeleteThe Story Siren is hosting this challenge and it's for all Debut Authors who's book are released this year. All books on our list and for the challenge have to be 1st time book releases for the authors.
Our ARCs (advanced reader copies) are for books that will be released soon. Most all the books on our list have already been released and the others will be released sometime this year.
I hope that helps :D
