I just had a lovely time going through the list that Kristi (aka The Story Siren) assembled of the Debut Authors of 2011, so as to sign up for
the D.A. of 2011 Challenge! Here the 12 books I'm challenging myself to read. Two,
Warped and
Timeless, I want rather badly for Timeslip Tuesday reviewing purposes. One,
The Latte Rebellion, is by a friend (Hi Sarah! Congratulations!), and the rest all sound just plain fabulous (check out the description of Cabinet of Earths, the last one, in particular). If I had time, I'd include all the covers, but I don't, so I am just showing two. The first two because I find them interesting--at first glance they looked utterly lovely to, but the more I look at them, the more, um, disturbing they become (is that neck really that long, or is it just an illusion?). The third because I really want to know if I am the only one who looks at it and sees two pink fish/aliens kissing with strangely elongated lips and weirdly wispy fins (obviously, once I blink a few times I see the humans about to kiss. But the pink fish is my default).

Great list. I think you should add Possession by Elana Johnson to the list. It's a sci-fi book about a girl who lives in a world filled with rules and she gets herself in trouble breaking them and then finds out clues to her sister's death. It's YA and I bet a lot of kids are going to like it. I'm also anxious to read Beth Revis' book. I won't formally be part of the challenge since I don't have a blog but I'm going to do it on my own.
ReplyDeletePosession sounds like a good one too-thanks.
