2009 YA Challenge

Thanks to Sharon, one of my glorious new biters, I was led to the 2009 YA Challenge on J. Kaye's blog. It seems simple enough. All I have to do is read 12 YA books between January and December of 2009. Like I said, simple. Well, I think I'll do more than that. Here's the list of YA books I plan on reading this year (I'm gonna cheat a little and start from the beginning of the year but it's ok because I'm reading way more than 12 books, and because I said so)--

1. Cirque du Freak - The Vampire's Assistant by Darren Shan (first book read this year)
2. Cirque du Freak - Tunnels of Blood by Darren Shan (already read)
3. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (already read)

That's my list for now, not in any particular order and they certainly won't be read in that order. None of these are repeat reads and all of them are from my TBR of doom (and there's still more, just not YA). If I don't get through these, I might cry because I already have a back-up TBR building (on paper, at least, the books are starting to take over my room). Now I just have to work on transfering the reviews I already have up at my writing blog over here. That alone is a mighty task.
