Hi, everyone!
This is my wrap-up post for the 2011 YA Reading Challenge hosted by Jamie at Jamie Loves YA.
CHALLENGE NOT COMPLETED!
I
had signed up for The Mini YA Reading Challenge, which was to read 12 Young Adult books. I came really close, just one book short of reaching this
level. I'm actually reading the 12th book now, Crossed by Ally Condie, which is Book #2 of the Matched series.
Here are the 11 YA books that I read in 2011:

The Young Adult genre was a new one that I discovered this year thanks to The Twilight Saga! Thank you, Stephenie Meyer, for writing such a great YA series! Until earlier this year, I thought that the YA genre was "just for kids." Boy, was I wrong! I have found that I can enjoy YA books as much as the "adult" literature.
Even though I did not complete the challenge, I had a lot of fun delving into this new-to-me genre! I plan to read more YA novels next year!
