Best of 2011: Debuts

This is part of a short series, Best of 2011. The last part will go up the following two days. As 2011 comes to a close, it's the time to talk about the rest of the year. Being in the bookish community, this means I'll be talking about bookish things. Here goes!


Time to give a little love to the new authors that made their way on the scene this year!

10, for its main characters and paranormal elements.

9, for its location, mythology, and supporting characters.

8, for its new take on an old tale.

7, for its awesome MC, great mythology, and action.

6, for its cool vibe and refreshing genre.

5, for its gritty but need-to-be-read story line.

4, for its interesting photographs and the story it tells with them.

3, for its beautiful prose, strong characters, and wonderful story.

2, for its rhythmic prose, fierce MC, and awesome mystery.

1, for it's unique world, dauntless (eh, eh?) heroine, and fast-paced story.

Those are my top ten debuts of the year. What are yours?
