Coolest Reading Challenge EVER!!

My Young Adult Goodreads group just issued a quarterly reading challenge.  Here's the reading challenge...


Duration: March 1, 2011 - May 31, 2011.

We are an YA Book Club, so all books should be young adult.

You have 3 months to read 12 YA books that satisfy following requirements:

1) Read a book which is a Printz winner or honoree. The list of all winners and honorees can be found here.

2) Read a book that is a new release published in March, April or May of this year. Goodreads offers lists of the most popular new releases by month, they might help you to make your choices - March, April and May.

3) Read a book that is a part of a series.

4) Read an author's debut novel.

5) Read a book that is on one of the ALA's Best Books for Young Adults lists. Pick any year. The lists can be found here.

6) Read a book set in a foreign country.

7) Read a book which is a book-in-verse, a graphic novel or epistolary (written in a form of a diary, letters, notes, etc.).

8) Read a book written from a male POV.

9) Read a book which was nominated for a month's pick in our group, but never won. Our old polls are here

10) Read 3 books that belong to 3 different genres of your choosing. You can pick from: science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, dystopia, mystery, urban fantasy, chick lit or horror.

You can join the Goodreads group YA Book Group if you want to.  I'd love to hear your progress here. I'll post mine as I decide on my reading list.
