 You can check out our '12 deb list here. I also listed some of the '12 debuts I wanted to read, but didn't get a chance to yet. What were some of your favorite debs from this year? If you've read some debuts not featured on this list or the debut author list and you think I should feature it on MM's, please leave your recommendation in the comments. 

*Debut authors are either first time published authors, or established authors who's first YA/MG book was published this year.

  1. Shadow and Bone was one of my favorite 'debs too! I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did.
