YA Contemporary Reading Challenge 2012




So, I'm signing up for my first reading challenge! I've decided to go for the YA Contemporary Challenge of 2012. I've been in a very "contemporary reading mood" and decided to go for it.

There are three levels to the challenge. I'm going for

Level 2: 10+ books
I usually blow through my reading goals, so I may up this at some point.
Here is my list of the books I've chosen for the challenge, so far.

1. The Fault in Our Stars (John Green)
2. Fracture (Megan Miranda)
3. My Life Next Door (Huntley Fitzpatrick)
4. Isla and the Happily Ever After (Stephanie Perkins)
5. The Story of Us (Deb Caletti)
6. Wanderlove (Kirsten Hubbard)
7. Keep Holding On (Susane Colasanti)
8. The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight (Jennifer E. Smith)
9.
10.

I'm not sure that I will be reading the books listed, but it's nice to have a starting point. I've left it wide open, to add as I choose. One of my favorite indie authors, Abbi Glines, writes contemporary YA, so I expect to add a few of her books to this list.

Are any of you signed up? Let's help each other along!

    Hey! I just got an ARC of FRACTURE a few days ago. I haven't had a chance to read it but I'm looking forward to it. I can send it to you when I'm done.

    Also, I'm dying to read ISLA! Can't freaking wait for that one!

    I think Mindi Scott's next contemp YA is coming out sometime in 2012--Live Through This. I'll read whatever she writes, even though I hardly ever read contemp YA. But, I loved Freefall, so she's sort of on auto-buy for me.

    Is Fracture a comtemp YA? I totally thought it was fantasy. I almost requested it through NetGalley. That would have resulted in a swift rejection, lol.
