Welcome to the YA Challenge!

The Worlds Without End website is hosting a Roll-Your-Own reading challenge for 2014. This means you choose the reading challenge that is best for you, and then go to it!

My mission is to help out, hosting the Young Adult reading challenge. For this challenge, choose which of these two levels is best for you:

• Full Year - Read 12 Young Adult books by 12 authors you haven't read before and write a review for each.
• Summer - Read 4 Young Adult books by 4 authors you haven't read before and write a review for each. (Summer runs June, July, August and September.)

Book tracking and reviews are all done through the Worlds Without End website, and questions or comments can be posted here or at their forum. Choose any Young Adult book tracked on the website, or drop a message in the forum to have books added. Two lists are available today to choose books from:

• The Locus Young Adult Award lists winners and nominees for this award from 2003 through the present
• David Brin created a list of Science Fiction for Young Adults which contains 89 fantastic books.

Throughout the challenge I will endeavor to find more Young Adult lists and link to them here, highlighting Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror books which are currently available on Worlds Without End.

Good luck to all readers of Young Adult fiction!
