I know I will end up with an even longer list by the end of the year, but since this one is so long as it is, I think I'll leave it at that.

So what debuts are y'all most excited for?

I have not yet compiled my list for the challenge. There are so many good sounding books that I can't make up my mind!

So many great debuts coming out next year! Can't wait for 2012. I've read two of those, Everneath and Under the Never Sky, and if they half the books of the list are as good as those two, 2012 will be an EXCELLENT year!
