Contemporary February?!

I've [unofficially] declared February as "Contemporary February". I will read only contemporary books, preferably lovey-dovey ones in honor of Valentine's Day. Plus, my birthday is in February, so I get to read whatever the hell I want!

Here is the list of books I have planned for February:

1. Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan
2. The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith
3. Just Listen by Sarah Dessen
4. One Night That Changes Everything by Lauren Barnholdt
5. Charlie All Night by Jennifer Cruise
6. The Sweetest Thing by Jill Shalvis
7. Lola & The Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
8. Saving June by Hannah Harrington

These are the reads that are readily available to me and I'll read in order of what I wish to read at a certain time. A few of them I am more excited for than others.I may read all, a couple or more. :)

Contemporary books are my favorite and I'm more than happy to dedicate an entire month to them. (Darn it all to heck, it has to be the shortest month of the year.)

Challenge: 2010 Debut Authors

This challenge is hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren and is the first challenge that I've ever joined. (I've made up my own, but it's nothing special...more later.)
You are challenged to read as many books during the year 2010 from debut authors! Because I love to read and a few were already on my list I thought I should go ahead and join!
You can check out more information and sign up to join by clicking here.
The challenge is running from January 1st to December 31st, 2010. And include books by first time authors published between those months.
You can see the full list of books in the challenge on goodreads or click here. Books are added all the time so make sure to keep coming back!
