Upcoming Challenge: The Debutante Ball 2010 Reading Challenge
You may remember that last Sunday I wrote a post about how I’m coveting all of the books from the authors of next year’s Debutante Ball. In case you missed it, The Debutante Ball is a group blog where 5 debut authors get together and blog about different topics each week for a year. Some tpoics are bookish, others are less so. Each year’s Debs are chosen by the previous year’s Debs and, in my experience, all of them write fantastic books.
Thanks to some encouragement in that original coveting post, I have decided to host a challenge based around The Debutante Ball. The lovely Swapna, who told me about The Debs in the first place, is going to be co-hosting with me. We’re waiting until after BBAW to work out all of the kinks, but you can expect the challenge to cover the 5 books written by this year’s Debs and it will likely run all year. There may be some extension to read books by previous Debs (The Ball goes back to 2007) and there will DEFINITELY be prizes or giveaways.
If you think you might be interested, let me know here, or in Swapna’s pre-announcement post, and we’ll let you know when the details are announced. Oh! And feel free to grab the button:

Wow, I had never heard about the Debs! Thanks for passing the info around, it’s interesting. I don’t know if I’ll be able to fit the challenge in my book-schedule, but I’ll certainly enjoy watching others do it

How fun is this? What a wonderful idea — and many thanks. I so hope you all enjoy my novel, and I’m thrilled to be in the company of my four fellow Debs. Let me know if I can help provide a fun giveaway for this challenge. And if any of you decide to read my book for your book clubs, I’d love to call in to them and hear what you think about it!

Count me in! It sounds great. I know Deb Joelle and both she and her book are awesome, I can’t wait to read the other debs.

I’m interested. Although reading the words “challenge” caused me to pause. This is the first I’ve heard of the Debs; however, after reading the site I think this would be fun.

Oh this sounds great! I love the idea. I have enjoyed the Debs website and I will come back to hear more about this when you finalize the details.

I generally love the Deb stuff (and reading the blog!) so I’m definitely interested in this challenge.
[Reply]
I might be a bit biased, but each class at The Debutante Ball has been filled with amazing writers and amazing women. As a founder of The Ball I am so proud of how dedicated they’ve all been in keeping it going in the same spirit of camaraderie on which it was founded. Brava, Debs!

Yup, those Debutantes. They write FABULOUS books. Not that I’m biased or anything. It’ll be a good read.

You new Debs are awesome with this idea! I cannot wait to read all of your books and I love seeing you getting the word out there! Deb books are the bomb!
