Required Reading

Yeah, it’s been a while, but I’m back, baby! And what’s more, I’m welcoming an awesome new co-blogger. Her name is Jessica, aka MissShortskirt, and she loves YA as much as I do! I’ll let her fully introduce herself, though. I’m really looking forward to getting things rolling here again.

In the meantime, here are the YA books I’ve read so far this year:

Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

Yay, I say…yay for more Stargirl!

Looking for Alaska by John Green

I picked up this book because of the controversy surrounding it (and so close to home!), and I’m glad I did. I thought it was very, very well done. And, I’m happy to say, the Depew School Board ended up approving it unanimously. Yay for them, and yay for John Green.

Kimmie66 by Aaron Alexovich

I’m a big fan of the Minx line, and I’ve read every one of the books as they’ve been released. Good stuff.

Boy Proof by Cecil Castellucci

I like Cecil Castellucci, and this book didn’t disappoint at all. I’m looking forward to the sequel to The Plain Janes.

I’d Tell You I Love You, But Then I’d Have to Kill You, by Ally Carter

I love Alias, and I love YA fiction, so was it any surprise that I loved this book? The Gallagher Girls rock, and I’m very excited for the rest of the series. Sometimes, working in a middle school is very useful!

So, what should I be reading next? What are YOU reading?
