I challenged myself to 30 for 2010, and hit that pretty early on so why not go for a nice minimum of 75 for 2011? Yes, the logic of that eludes me too... Though, I am going for just 75 debuts, including the ones I've read in 2011 because frankly, a 2011 debut is still a 2011 debut, in my opinion, regardless of whether it's read in ARC form in 2010.
So without further ado.... here is at the least the start of my working list (these are basically in order of release month):
- Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton (Read in 2010)
- A Touch Mortal by Leah Clifford (Read in 2010)
