I've thought about joining this one because I read SO MUCH YA. I don't know why I haven't already. Hmmphf! Love that button, too.
I kind of have a feeling that sooner or later I'll end up joining this challenge. I love your list! I've read and loved 5, 8, 9 and 10. And I really want to read 3, 11 and 12. Also, I started Paper Towns today and I can already tell it's going to be one of those books for me.
I'm glad to see you're joining this challenge too, Mariel! Can't wait to read your reviews on them!
I really want to read the John Green books as well. They sound like just my thing. I really enjoyed Checkmate and How I Live Now. YA is my friend. Hope you enjoy this challenge. If I was the type of person to join challenges (I've found out that I'm not) this would be the challenge that I joined.
Andi - That's exactly why I joined, I need a challenge that will be easy for me! And the button is awesome, I need to learn how to make them!
Nymeth - Oh I'm so excited about Paper Towns. I think I have an author crush on John Green already! Its all your fault too..bad blogger! Join us, go on you know you want to!
Melody - Thanks! I have to get on top of last years reviews first!
Michelle - I loved Looking For Alaska..watch this space for a review! I really enjoyed the first two in Malorie Blackman's series but it's been a while so I may have to refresh my memory! I'm not much of a challenge person either, but I read so much YA this seemed like an easy one!
What a great list! I'm glad you joined:)
J.Kaye - Thanks for hosting, looks to be a great challenge!
Valentina - Thanks, too many books too little time! I want to read all day!
