The following books do not count towards the challenge for me, but they are released in 2010, and so may be for you.
Books read in 2009, reviews posted in 2010:

I am so going to do this challenge, but there are so many books to choose from!! May have to add more to the list of 12 ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou're able to do more than 12, it's just at least 12. I'll probably add more, but my memory is bad, lol.
ReplyDeleteI hope you read them all ok! Would join in...but end up with enough books - safer not to specify genres :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Ahh, if I get more, I can always edit the list, so it's no problem! :)
ReplyDelete: ) : ) : )
ReplyDeleteOh wow, thanks for stopping by, Kiersten! I'm really looking forward to reading Paranormalcy next year! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!! Seriously, few things make me happier than hearing that : )
ReplyDeleteOh, you're welcome! But it sounds like such an awesome book, anyone would be mad not to want to read it! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a debut author! Please put me on your list!
ReplyDeleteAhh, I didn't include you only because I think I'll probably get When I Was Joe read before next year, so I can have the review ready for January. Hmm. I'm going to do some asking of questions. Perhaps if I read books before 2010 it's ok if reviews are posted once January hits.
ReplyDeleteWell I am a 2010 debut author! I think I should count..
ReplyDeleteYou do count. It's more about me and my reading pace; if I read all the books released in January by debut authors (which is two so far, including you) in January, given that I'm not the fastest reader, there is a chance I'll post the reviews late rather than before the release date. I think it's more important that the reviews are ready on time to help you than to read your book for the challenge, if that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteThe challenge being for fun, it's not all that important, but me getting my review out on time is. So I'll read them before this year is out, write the reviews, and then schedule them for January. I don't think it'll count as part of the challenge as I'm reading them this year and not next. I've sent Kristi an email, asking whether they'll count or not; she's on a break at the moment, but once she's back and answered, I can let you know :)
Aha...I'll let you off..
ReplyDeleteHaha, cheers! ;) I shall let you know when I get a reply from Kristi.
ReplyDeleteYAY! Thanks for joining the challenge! And what a great list! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I look forward to it! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I'm a huge Suzanne Young fan and you will totally love THE NAUGHTY LIST and the sequel SO MANY BOYS. (I've read both!)
ReplyDeleteAwesome, thank you! I'm looking forward to reading The Naughty List, it sounds great! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for including OTHER on this list! I will let you know straightaway when I know how the whole UK thing will work.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, have a rummage through my goodies page for a virtual party favor of sorts. www.karenkincy.com/page_id=659
