Reading Challenges: 2012 Edition

I've only tried to complete a reading challenge one other time and it was a tragic failure. (So far I've only read one book on the list.) But this year I am determined to up my reading quota this year and to help motivate me I'm going to participate in two (TWO!) reading challenges.


Debut Author Challenge

Hosted by the incomparable Story Siren

The goal is to read (and review) twelve young adult debut novels between January 1, 2012 and January 31, 2013. (I probably won't review them because I'm not a reviewer.) I'm sure my list will change over the year, but here is my current debut TBR:

1. Cinder by Marissa Meyer
2. Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
3. Fracture by Megan Miranda
4. Tempest by Julie Cross
5. Everneath by Brodi Ashton
6. Incarnate by Jodi Meadows
7. Article 5 by Kristen Simmons
8. Slide by Jill Hathaway
9. Hemlock by Kathleen Peacock

Obviously I need three more books on this list. Any suggestions?

GoodReads Challenge

Since you get to choose your own number, and I'm already two weeks behind on the year, I have challenged myself to read 50 books this year. One book a week for the rest of the year. Surely I can manage that. I don't have a TBR pile, I have a TBR box. Or, really, boxes.

You can track my progress on GoodReads and shame me if I'm falling too far behind. (Yes, I'm already behind.)

So those are my challenges for the year. Fifty books, including twelve young adult debuts. Are you participating in any reading challenges?

Hugs,
