WoW topic: How about those Tenners?! My wishlist for 2010.

I love debut novels – in fact at least a third of the books I’ve read so far this year are by first time novelists. So looking ahead to 2010, I am excited about quite a few new YA and MG novels that I discovered on the Tenners website.

I've also been hearing a lot of chatter about how awesome the Tenner authors are - attending chats with book bloggers (which are unfortunately scheduled for when I am sound asleep), coming up with awesome contests and marketing ideas, and just generally being available and cool.

So here are my top 13 titles broken down by publisher and pub date:

Penguin
PALACE BEAUTIFUL by Sarah DeFord Williams. Feb 2010. This is about a modern day girl who finds a diary of a girl living during the 1918 Influenza epidemic which has always fascinated me.
THE LINE by Teri Hall. March 2010. All I had to hear to put this on my wishlist were two little words - dystopian fiction.
TOTALLY SWEET NINJA DEATH SQUAD by Emily Horner. Fall 2010. C’mon – who can resist that totally sweet title?

Random House
THE RED UMBRELLA by Christina Diaz Gonzalez. May 12, 2010. This has to do with Operation Pedro Pan - the largest exodus of unaccompanied minors in the Western Hemisphere (from Cuba to the US). Read summary.
MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY by Trish Doller. Sometime 2010. I love cross country adventures. Oh and Trish is on Team Llama and wrote a whole blog post about tapirs, so her book MUST be cool. Right?

HarperCollins
THE SNOWBALL EFFECT by Holly Nicole Hoxter. March 1, 2010. This looks like a fresh spin on the whole dealing with death genre.
THE BODY FINDER by Kimberly Derting. March 16, 2010. This was pushed back so I’ve been lusting after it forever it seems. I’m so in the mood for a paranormal mystery!
WHISPER by Phoebe Kitanidis. April 14, 2010. Great premise: A girl has the power to read thoughts and must save her sister.

Egmont
BRIGHTLY WOVEN by Alexandra Bracken. March 23, 2010. A girl is given as a reward to a wizard for ending the drought in her town. Read summary.
THE RISE OF RENEGADE X by Chelsea Campbell. May 11, 2010. Another super cool premise: Teen supervillain finds out his father is really a superhero. Read summary.

Simon Pulse
LOSING FAITH by Denise Jaden. Oct 2010. There’s a cult involved. Oh yeah.

Bloomsbury
THE MARK by Jen Nadol. January 2010. Girl is able to see when people are about to die. Should she tell them?

Roaring Brook Press
THE BABY CODE by Caragh O’Brien. Sometime 2010. Another dystopia!

How about you? Which ones of these intrigue you? Or did other Tenners catch your eye? Do you like to read debut authors? Or do you prefer to stick to the tried and true?
