Info Post & Debut Lists

I am pretty confident that I can read at least 12 debuts, so I am most definitely going to shoot for that number and see where I land by the end of the year.  I would love to hit 20, but we'll just have to see.  The good news is that I already have several 2012 debuts in eGalley form thanks to Netgalley, so I'm already making a good start.  Good luck to all my fellow DAC participants!
