2011 Reading Challenges

2011 Debut Author Challenge
Hosted by Kristy @ The Story Siren

It's my first time to join the Debut Author Challenge (DAC) and I am hugely looking forward to it this coming year! Last year's debut novels were superb, so there should be equally brilliant books in store for everyone this year.

As I am a UK book blogger, I am limiting my list to UK debuts only, but to be honest I know I'll be reading far more US debuts. I cannot resist!

1. Alexandra Adornetto - Halo
2. Curtis Jobling - Wereworld: Rise of the Wolf
3. Julie Kagawa - The Iron King

100  Books in a Year Reading Challenge 2011

Hosted by: Book Chick City

You can sign up HERE.

The challenge is to read 100 books or more in 2011. The review post is found HERE.
I read more than a hundred books last year, but it seems I am more constrained this year due to academic commitments, so this will be a real challenge! Am very much looking forward for it.
