2011 YA Reading Challenge

There are four levels:

• The Mini YA Reading Challenge – Read 12 Young Adult novels
• The "Fun Size" YA Reading Challenge – Read 20 Young Adult novels
• The Jumbo Size YA Reading Challenge – Read 40 Young Adult novels
• The Mega size YA Reading Challenge – Read 50+ Young Adult novels

The challenge runs from January 1 until December 31, and though I'm late in finding it, I've been tracking what I've read by categories.  We aren't required to list books in advance, so I'll list here all the YA books I read during 2011.  I'll aim for the Jumbo category, since I have already read thirteen YA books this year.
