The challenge is to read 12 YA novels in 2009. I'm pretty sure I won't have any trouble with this one. Here's some books that qualify on my TBR:
- Uglies
- Poison Study
- Hattie Big Sky
- The Adoration of Jenna Fox
- The Loser's Guide to Life and Love
- My Most Excellent Year: A Novel of Love, Mary Poppins, and Fenway Park
- Suite Scarlett
- How I Live Now

Tricia-I recommend the audio recording of "how I live now". Kim Mai Guest reads it and is Amazing. (Kim Mai Guest does a lot of voice over work and was given the compliment of being "the first girl to make a female character's death not sound orgasmic".)
I'm doing this one as well! I love YA novels!;)
I'm doing this challenge as well. Like you I think it will be easy since I really enjoy YA lit.
I read Uglies a few months ago and look forward to seeing what you think about it.
Loved the Uglies series.
Can I recommend adding Cory Doctorow's Little Brother to the list? Stayed up all night (on a work night) reading it.
Irish: Have you read the rest of the series too?
Renee: Leave me recommendations any time. PLEASE!
I really liked Uglies and I plan to finish the rest of the series eventually. I've had Magic Study on my shelf for a couple of years now but haven't gotten around to reading it yet :(
I'm in the middle of this one, too :) I actually have to invest in more YA, though -- I only have two more titles in my TBR pile that would qualify! I'm usually reading contemporary fiction. I don't think I'll have a hard time buying more books, though. :) Good luck!
I've read the 3 books that make up the core trilogy. I loved them all. But my faves were 1 and 2. I still have yet to read the 4th book Extras - a stand along book in the same universe which is set a few years after Specials ends and takes place in a different city. I hope to get to it this year though.
For the core books I ended up reading them all in just a few days. I took the advice of a friend to get all 3 at once and I didn't regret it...I was so glad to be able to read them all straight through.
