Oh, I forgot this was the June BOTM! I did finish this and I didn't like Jay throughout the book, but I liked how he took responsibility for his behavior at the end and did his best to rectify the damage he had done.

I think I will start with Jay's Gay Agenda, since I just got it from my library. Then I'll do the June BOTM, since that book also just came in from my library. I'll be listening to Jay's and reading (digital) the June BOTM. Then I'll tackle one of the two series I listed above. Probably Maggie's Raven Cycle since the other two I'm beginning with are Contemporary.

Doh! I just realized that 8 of the books I had planned are not considered YA, lol! I suppose I should have guessed due to some of the content, but ah well! So back to the drawing board, lol. I think I might try Maggie S's Raven Cycle books. And Rainbow Rowell's Simon series.

Gonna see if I can find a copy of this.

I'm in! :) This is going to be very challenging, but interesting!

What fun! I can't wait to join in on the fun in June! I haven't read a ton of YA this month so far, but do have several on my list!

Hi Vendy, welcome to the group! My favorites are probably fantasy and mystery, but I also love historical fiction. Middle School/YA books are also high on my list. I'm an educator who works with mostly middle school and high school students!
