My Reading List

I really do love reading, but prior to attending my YAL book conference, I was in a pretty serious slump.  However, I made a list of books I'd like to read in that post, and am well on my way:

• Cinder by Marissa Meyer
• Vote by Gary Paulsen
• The Compound by S.A. Bodeen
• Just One Day by Gayle Forman done, review here
• Etiquette and Espionage by Gail Carriger
• Island of Thieves by Josh Lacey
• The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau done, review here
• Maggot Moon by Sally Gardner
• The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
• Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein
• Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys done, review here
• Imprisoned by Martin W. Sandler
• The President Has Been Shot by James Swanso
• March by John Lewis done, review here
• The Vine Basket by Josanne La Valley - reading now
• The Tragedy Paper by Elizabeth LaBan
• Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowel done, review here
• If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch
• Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan
• This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith I didn't read this one, but I read another by the same author (review here) and didn't like it enough to bother with this one

I've also read Boy Nobody by Allen Zadoff (review here), which isn't on this list but is one they talked about at the conference, so I'm counting that one.  Since I made this list, I've read seven books.  I feel pretty good about that.  After I finish The Vine Basket (which was $1.99 on Amazon!), I plan to tackle Rose Under Fire.  It's in our library at school and it looks sooooo goooooood.
