I believe in supporting new authors (plus I TOTALLY love to read and I would probably be reading at least some of these books anyway) and this sounds fun--so I'm gonna do it!
I'm hoping some of you will decide to take on this challenge too. On the last day of each month I will post a book review for the novel I chose to read. I will also host an open thread for discussion about that book (and maybe even a few questions to get the discussion started). If you have kids then please feel free to let them read along and participate. I'm hoping this will be a sort of online book club.
Without further adieu, here are my 2011 debut book picks for January through June:
January:
The False Princess by Eilis O'Neal
