Katy, that's my problem every year! I seem to wait until December every year to look for books with my missing letters. At this point, I'm reading ALL duplicates! I made note of Melissa's J! J's seem to be hard for me! :)

I haven't actually read it so I don't know haha. It was just the first Y book I could think of. I do really want to read it though haha.

Haha! Fair enough!

I might grab a copy of The Young Elites just so I can read my "Y" book and call this challenge done (I haven't posted an update, but I finished my "X" book a few days ago, so "Y" is my only remaining letter). Besides, it does look like a pretty good book...
I published a "Y" book in January, but don't like to count my own books; I don't mark them as read, nor rate and review them, let alone count them for challenges. If you get stuck though, Yua And The Great Wizard Hunt might be an option for you.

Good to know, Victoria! I was happy to use one of your books last year for my J. Jinx And The Faerie Dragons. So cute. Also counts as an X. ;)
