CHALLENGE OBJECTIVE:

• To read & review a minimum of twelve young adult or middle grade debut novels between the dates of January 1, 2012 – January 31, 2013.*

*The 2013 extension is so that December Debuts can be read and count toward the challenge.

• Any advance reader copies you read from 2012 BEFORE the January 1st start date DO NOT count toward the challenge! 
• You can read twelve books in one month, or one book a month. It doesn’t matter as long as you have 12 read by the end of the year! 

RULES & GUIDELINES:

• You must have a Blog to post your reviews or be a member of Goodreads. Youtube Book Reviewers count too!

• Deadline to join is May 31, 2012.

BOOK GUIDELINES:
