As I gathered from the FAQ page, I could choose to read debuts as long as they hadn't been published before in my country, so I read mainly US debuts, but also some UK debuts (the books with a * in the list above are solely UK debuts).
As for the books I wanted to read, some were sadly left behind. Maybe I'll be able to read them later on. From the UK list, the following were not read:
- The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff
- Halo by Alexandra Adornetto
- The Duff by Kody Keplinger
From the US list, the following were not read:
- A Touch Mortal by Leah Clifford
- Darkness Becomes Her by Kelly Keaton
- The Iron Thorn by Caitlin Kittredge
- Warped by Maurissa Guibord
- Timeless by Alexandra Monir
- Entwined by Heather Dixon
- Memento Nora by Angie Smibert
- The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter
- Dark Mirror by M. J. Putney
- The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross
I'm a bit disappointed I didn't get to read some of these titles, since they seemed exciting, but as I mentioned before, I might tackle them soon.
We were required to read at least 12 books, and I managed to read about twice as that (25 books), so I can say I am quite proud of what I achieved. I didn't think I would be reading this many great books throughout the year, and I was pleasantly surprised.
