I justy started 
Good luck Tonya!
I don't know if I'd finish 10 each month but going to 10 is OK with me.
I didn't do all of the challenges but my favorites would be January, February, August, October, November and December.
December's challenge has forced me to stick to cleaning up some of my TBR pile.
My challenge idea would be to do a re-read challenge.
I don't really think that there is an age for YA books. Some of the books that I see now in the YA section were originally shelved in the "adult" fantasy and science fiction section.
and 
come to mind.
And some fiction that I've seen in the YA section was originally written for adults such as
and 
I think that these days if the main character is a teenager the publishers automatically label the books YA. Personally I don't care what category a book is shelved under, as long as it's good I'll read it

Sometimes an author writes different series in the same genre under different names. Elizabeth Linington wrote mysteries under several names including Dell Shannon and Lesley Egan. In this case it made it easy to tell which series a book was from.
Other authors like Sheri Tepper use pen names when the write different genres. She wrote mysteries as A.J. Orde and B.J. Oliphant. I believe she also wrote horror under a third name.
Personally I like it better if an author writes everything under one neame. I originally read and enjoyed Charlaine Harris' Shakespear series and that made me try her Dead series when it came out. Likewise I read Yasmin Galenorn's Otherworld series and then read her mysteries because I enjoyed her writeing style. I never would have found these additional books if they were written under a pen name.
I prefered the Night Huntress series to BDB. Couldn't really get into BDB but really enjoyed Cat and Bones.

I didn't think I'd finish this month. The last book I read was Companions of the Night - a young adult book which I'd give 3 stars. It was an OK but not something I'd read again.
I'm in but I'll have to take some time to figure out my list. Now I can finally read some of the books that I haven't been able to fit into other challenges.
