YA Reading Challenge

J Kaye's Book Blog is hosting this year's Young Adult Reading Challenge.  The challenge runs from January 1st thru December, 2010.

All the information and sign-up are here.

Last year I joined the challenge to get back into reading Young Adult and I read some fantastic books that I am still recommending today.

I am going to participate "Stepping It Up" – Read 50 Young Adult novels.
