2016 Challenges: Debut Author Challenge hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl!!

Hello there guys!

I'm back with another of the challenges that I've chosen to take part to in 2016!!

My objective with choosing challenges is usually to hold myself accountable and to choose those that allign more closely with something that I already wanted to do.

Since I'm extremely excited for many 2016 debut books and authors, I knew I needed to join a challenge and so I'll be taking part of the 2016 Debut Author Challenge hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl!!

If you want to join this challenge, and I highly recommend that you do, because there are some amazing books debuting next year, HERE is the introduction & sign up post with all the rules!

Once again, I've made a Goodreads list/shelf for this challenge, and so far I have 10 books only in it, but I know it'll be growing along the year and I hope to read at least 20 debuts this year!


Here's my list so far! Any other debuts you'd recommend I had to my list? Let me know in the comments!!

Waiting On Wednesday #77!!

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted at Breaking The Spine  that spotlights those can't-wait-to-get-my-hands-on-them books that we are eagerly awaiting!

This week the book that I'm making all the grabby hands at and whining about not getting an ARC of is Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard!!

Goodreads Summary:

"The poverty stricken Reds are commoners, living under the rule of the Silvers, elite warriors with god-like powers.

To Mare Barrow, a 17-year-old Red girl from The Stilts, it looks like nothing will ever change.

Mare finds herself working in the Silver Palace, at the centre of
those she hates the most. She quickly discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy Silver control.

But power is a dangerous game. And in this world divided by blood, who will win?"


Why am I eagerly awaiting Red Queen? Well, look at that summary! Doesn't it sound fantastic? And I've seen some really positive reviews for this one from some of my blogging friends, so I'm very much excited about this one! I hope I can get to read it soon and love it as much as some of my friends!

What are you all (im)patiently awaiting this week?
