Goodness me, 2013! Please make a nomination for the theme for January 2013. I'll create a poll at the beginning of December

I'll suggest anything "feel-good" for January.
Since January is the start of a new year, how about we read a book by a new author? Goodreads has a list of book debuts in the genres section. It looks like there would be something to suit everyone's taste.

Sorry folks, got my head in the clouds and forgot to post the January results. January theme is new authors. Please post your picks.
Despite some mixed reviews, I'm going to pick The Tenderness of Wolves, by Stef Penney,
.Although published in 2006, a new author to me and a debut book.
Help! Where do I find this list of debut books - can't seem to see it anywhere
I really enjoyed that one, hope you can get hold of a copy.
I'm going for The Almond Tree by new author Michelle Cohen Corasanti, about the Arab-Israeli conflict. I was sent it for review on LibraryThing, and its opening is impressive though a little depressing.
I'm about to start The Tenderness of Wolves, for my "debut" author read. I'm really looking forward to it, but my week is truly manic so I'm not sure I'll get any quality reading time in.
I found The Tenderness of Wolves,
pretty good in the main, but found there were too many characters who didn't add anything to the story, although not too many wolves! I liked the scenery though. I'm a bit behind writing a review

I haven't even been able to start my choice. I've had almost no time for reading this month. I hoping I can at least start it this month.
Jackie, I hope the new job isn't keeping you too busy. I've missed your posts!
I finished The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey and have to say it was one of the best books I have read recently. The story will stay in my mind for some time I think. Thanks Chris for recommending it.
This is not a new author, but she was new to me..Marie Force! I borrowed one of her books from a Nook friend and ended up reading all seven of the books in the Gansett Island series....Now patiently waiting for #8 : )
I love it when you find a little treasure of an author or a series that ingnites an interest. It's happened to me a few times, the last time was Susan Hill's Simon Serrailler detective/crime novels. I'm "not so patiently" waiting for the 8th!
