Yep, you read that right. I participated in the 2012 YA Contemporary challenge, and here is my wrap up post-- and all of the review links for the books on the list that I finished, with a short run-through of the MUCH LONGER list that I didn't finish...sigh. There were fifteen books on my original list, along with a whole bunch of book that were on a longer "If I have time" kind of list. Let's start with the reviews. ;) (This is fun for me! I'm getting to read a lot of my older reviews-- man, I used to SUCK. Some reviews are better than others. I wrote commentary!)
The Fine Art of Truth or Dare by Melissa Jensen <--I like this review.
The One that I Want by Jennifer Echols <--Hmm. Needs work.
Someone Else's Life by Katie Dale <--Don't read it. *covers eyes*
The List by Siobhan Vivian <--I quote Eleanor Roosevelt!
Welcome, Caller, This is Chloe by Shelley Coriell <--Not all that bad, but super short.
My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick <--Really long, but I reveal a lot of why I am who I am in this one. It's a passionate review, for an AMAZING book.
Counting Backwards by Laura Lascarso <--Wow, I have three comments! That's a lot, for August! I love, love, love comments! :D
