Last year was the first year of the Waterstone’s 11, 11 new authors with 11 new books to be released that year. This year they are doing it again, which is rather exciting.
Last year I said I would read the previews of each book which were given on the Waterstone’s website, and I pretty much failed, although I did get round to reading the whole of two of the books, and one was one of my top reads of 2011. I am hoping to do a bit better with that plan this year.
This year’s list is:
The Art of Fielding- Chad Harback
Care of Wooden Floors- Will Wiles
The Land of Decoration- Grace McCleen
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry- Rachel Joyce
The Age of Miracles- Karen Thompson Walker

I’m going to try and read them all too. Was also going to try and actually buy them from Waterstones but we’ll see. I think I will get a review copy of at least one of them.
A review copy would be good. I gott one of them as a review copy last year and that was good
