I have decided to join my first reading challenge in a looooong time – J. Kaye’s 2010 Young Adult Reading Challenge. I took up reading a lot more YA books this year and have every intention to read more! For now I am going to stick to the “Just My Size YA Reading Challenge” which means reading 25 YA books next year.
