12 Books in 12 Months -- The Official List

So here they are! The ten twelve diverse YA fiction books I'll be reading for the next ten twelve months. Yes, there are more than ten, because I had a hard time choosing. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. :) I tried to make a broad selection, genre-wise. There's sci-fi, realistic fiction, and even historical fiction. And, umm, two girl detectives. Because things happen. 

In no particular order (because I can't predict what I'm in the mood to read. I'm fickle from month to month!).

1) Cat Girl's Day Off by Kimberly Pauley

2) Strange Times at Western High (A Natalie Fuentes Mystery) by Emily Pohl-Weary

3) Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

4) Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz

5) We Were Here by Matt De La Pena

6) Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan

7) Monster by Walter Dean Myers
