And the Debut-a-thon has officially started! Well, it has for us people here in the UK. I know there's some lucky people out there who've been doing the read-a-thon for a while now, and now I can finally start!
So like I said in my sign up post, I'm aiming to read 2 books!
1. Tumble & Fall by Alexandra Coutts
2. Splintered by A G Howard
And if I somehow manage to get both of these finished, I will also be picking up Geek Girl by Holly Smale.
So I'm off to start my first book of the Debut-a-thon!
[I'll probably only get 1 chapter finished though before I end up falling asleep]

Challenges
Challenge #1:Unscramble That Debut
[highlight for answers]
1. If You Find Me
2. Altered
3. Pivot Point
4. Arclight [this one took me forever to get!]
5. Poison
6. Splintered
7. The Elites [as did this one]
Challenge #2: Pair That Debut
So right now I'm currently reading Tumble & Fall by Alexandra Coutts which follows 3 teenagers in the run up to a meteor hitting the Earth. I've been thinking and looking for about an hour for a song for this and I kept coming back to one song. I was mainly trying to find another song because I'm not a massive fan of this artist or this song, but I just couldn't get it out of my head so I'm just going to go with it.
Challenge #4: Solve That Debut
[highlight for answers]
1. The Nightmare Affair
2. City of a Thousand Dolls
3. In the After [this
one actually took meforever!]
It was! I just finished it there and I really enjoyed it :) It took me forever! I ended up looking through 2013 debut lists because I just couldn't get it!
Lots of people a reading Splintered! I'm kind of sad I didn't choose to read it. Oh well, I'll read it soon! You've done great so far and I wish you the best of luck for the next few days. I hope you can participate in the Day 2 Challenge that I'm hosting. I'll also be hosting Day 3 tomorrow! Pair That Debut Challenge #2 Laura @ Music Plus Books
I feel so bad that you had to search for a whole hour! You really didn't have to because it's just for fun. Either, Skyfall is definitely one of the best songs ever and a meteor hitting the Earth definitely fits the song. Good luck with the challenge! And about Ink, it's a good book but it took me awhile to get used to the setting in Japan. By the end, I was absolutely in love, definitely check it out!
I'm so happy that you found the challenges challenging! I was worried that #1 would be too easy. Is it bad to say that I'm glad you struggled over a couple of them? XD Teehee.
I love that they're so challenging! There was no way the first challenge was going to be easy, some of them were really difficult! It took me ages to get Splintered and I was sitting with it right in front of me! I'm not a massive fan of her, but I think she's alright :)
Splintered is fun! And I just couldn't figure out number 7. So hard!
