2012 Debut Author Challenge

I've never participated in the Debut Author Challenge (hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren) before, but no time like the present, right?  And what better way to congratulate myself at the end of the year for reading books I had already planned to read?  :D

I've challenged myself to read 12 books from the 2012 DAC list, one per month.  I'm sure I'll have no problem meeting this goal.  In fact, I'm sure I'll surpass it.  And my good friend Michele from A Belle's Tales is going to buddy read this challenge with me, so we'll help keep each other on track.

Here are the twelve novels* we decided on for this challenge:

1. Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi - finished 1/15/12
2. Everneath by Brodi Ashton
3. Incarnate by Jodi Meadows - finished 2/3/12
4. Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood

Are you participating in this challenge?  Are there any other challenges we should partake in?  I, myself, am considering the 2012 Sophomore Reading Challenge because I was already planning on reading a lot of second novels from authors whose writing I fell in love with last year.  And then there's Fiktshun's Soul Screamers Reading Challenge.  I've already read all of that series to-date, but it would be a great refresher for the release of Before I Wake this summer.  Decisions, decisions.
