...I left for real, got my Varsity, and rode it home, slow and angry, shaking my head slow, repeating this fine little mantra: “I’m gonna make you barf. I’m gonna to make you barf. I’m gonna make you barf.” That’s a little different than om shanti shanti shanti, which is about peace, not terror. Oh hell no. “I’m gonna make you barf.” That’s not Jerri’s mantra.
No peace, no justice. I’m gonna make you barf.
Hey! Ho! I’m gonna make you barf!
I, Felton Reinstein, was hot. Seriously hot. Boiling angry. Me, a good, very fast, potentially funny young man, with no naturally occurring ill intent toward anyone, had been completely mistreated forever. I’d had enough.
Hell no! We won’t go! I’m gonna make you barf!

Black humor rules and bowling is deadly in this clever Romeo and Juliet turned on its head.
The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern
A contest of skill, a love story, a world of dreams open only after dusk, The Night Circus is an ambitious debut painted in lavish detail -- a remarkable feat.

7 Comments on Debut Authors' Giveaways and Contests, last added: 1/13/2011
I'm participating in the
Story Siren's Debut Author Challenge for next year. Participants must read twelve middle-grade or young adult books by debut novelists by the end of December. This will be especially fun as almost all of the debuts are written by fellow
Elevensies and members of
The Class of 2k11.
While I'm not listing the titles I plan to read ahead of time, I aim to tackle many more than the required twelve. Some novels I plan on purchasing, some I've downloaded to read through
Simon and Schuster's e-galley* program, some I know will be so big they'll be easy to find at the library (
even with our dismal local book purchase numbers), and some I'll borrow through the Class of 2k11 ARC* exchange.
I'd love to be able to read everything coming out next year, but with close to 100 debuts, I know I won't make it. I will, though, share what I'm reading here. Please consider joining in!
*Galleys and ARCs (advanced reader copies) are uncorrected proofs sent out to reviewers.

Ooh. Sounds like an exciting read. I read May B. last night, all in one sitting. Five minutes in I realized I couldn't put it down!
I love Felton!
Football book? Glad to learn about it!
Mia, it is and it isn't about football. It's more about a boy who's always been the nerd suddenly welcomed into sports because of a huge growth spurt, how he copes with his new status, how he deals with family heartache and first love. I'm the least sporty person around and loved it.
