Young Adult Challenge – 1/1/08 – 12/31/08


I’d been considering this challenge when I ended up in my Amazon wishlist, and realized I could do it easily based on a few books I have kicking around here, and the contents of the kids/young adult section of my wishlist (yep, I do have my wishlist broken down by subject or genre, it’d be scarily large otherwise, and yes, it’s cross referenced to what I can get at the library). And then, since I’d already created the list, it seemed silly not to go sign up for the challenge, even if I did promise myself I’d hold off on signing up for anything until after Nanowrimo is over. Oh well. It was a nice plan while it lasted 🙂

Here’s my list:

Books I have here:
In the Forests of the Night – Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
Slam – Nick Hornby
Touchmark – Mildred Lawrence
Inkheart – Cornelia Funke

Books from the Library (I’ve included a few extra in case I have trouble managing to check anything out):

Blood and Chocolate – Annette Klause
The Book of Three – Lloyd Alexander
The Naming – Alison Croggon
Beast – Donna Jo Napoli
First Test – Tamora Pierce
Terrier – Tamora Pierce
The Goose Girl – Shannon Hale
Skellig – David Almond
Clockwork – Philip Pullman
Green Boy – Susan Cooper
Twilight – Stephanie Meyer
