Top Ten 2014 Debuts I'm Excited For
I'm excited for this topic because I LOVE DEBUTS!! It's so fun finding new authors AND a lot of times the topics that debut books cover are completely fresh. Sorry, but you know I had to go more than 10!
UPDATE: ok after looking at my list for 2013 Debuts, I didn't read AS many debuts last year as I wanted. Hopefully I'll do better this year! Also check out my list of 2014 New Releases that I'm dying for (funnily none of these crossed over).

ReplyDeleteMy TTT
You have SO many books listed here that I really want to read. I especially want to read Love Letters to The Dead, Nearly Gone, and Far From You. Besides, how about the cover for Far From You? Isn't it just gorgeous? It was love at first sight. . . Besides, it almost sounds like a murder mystery. I honestly can't wait to read it.
