Melissa:
Well...I'm having troubles with December posting. Coming out of Nanowrimo and getting through the holidays I'm not getting much accomplished it feels. And looking at this challenge...well, I'm slacking it seems.

December YA Speculative Fiction
Melissa:
December has turned out to be a bit of a bust for me in posting on the blog. With coming out of Nanowrimo and getting through the holidays, well, it's been a little crazy. I did get two YA Reads posted thought.

November A-Z Challenge
Melissa:
I did NaNoWriMo last month, but at the beginning I did get a review of one book up, and it qualifies for the challenge! It's a letter I've been needing. I also got more read, but not posted with Nano. It'll come in December, I'm just hoping it qualifies in the remaining letters I need. ;)
K: Kiss of Death by Seleste deLaney

Melissa:
Well, I did NaNoWriMo for the month of November, so I didn't do much in reading as I wrote. That's just the way I am...single minded. I can't seem to focus on two things like that. But I did get far enough fast enough I did get one YA book read in which I'll post the review in December.

September A-Z Challenge
Melissa,
Okay, so I seem to be stuck. I need to get my review books rotated through here that match up with the letters I have left. That's going to be hard. But I'll work at it. But for now, I don't have any letters finished for September.

August YA Speculative Fiction Challenge
Melissa:
Well, I'm slacking on the YA front...I have a few to read for September and October blog posts, so more will come. I also have some for fun to read lined up as well.
Now I'm not sure this one is listed as YA, but the previous two books I said could be and you will want to know what happens in the end so this one follows suit.

July A-Z Challenge
Melissa:
Well, I've found myself repeating letters now. It's hard to keep up with review books and these challenges as well. Hmmm. Very hard! But I did review one book that is a new letter this month, with luck! It was posted on the very last day of July. lol.

March: YA (Spec Fic) Challenge
Melissa:
I've gotten to a few! Yeah! I'm not a complete slacker. lol. But I really do seem to be having troubles getting through YA reads this year. I did much better with them last year. I'll have to look over the stack and see what I can get to.
I did get 2 YA books reviewed in March:
Lodestone: Book 3: The Crucible of Dawn by Mark Whiteway
The Graveyard Gymnasium by Kelly Lougheed
I think April and May are going to be tough months for me with the YA genre. I have many review books to get through in April so I can read a few book before going to Balticon at the end of May.

March: A-Z
Melissa:
Wow! March is past us already. Where the heck is the year going already? It's flying, and in doing so, making me feel like such a slacker. I still have 15 letters to read. Sounds like it's not so bad being we have 9 months left, but I'm finding a lot of titles have the same beginning letters!
Okay, I did get to 2 new letters this month:
The Graveyard Gymnasium by Kelly Lougheed
Whiskey Sour by Skyla Dawn Cameron
I'm hoping to get at least 2 letters down, if not 3 here in April.

February in Review: YA (Spec Fic) Challenge
Melissa:
Um, ah... I'm a slacker at my own challenge! Okay. I did read 2 YA books, but I didn't get the reviews up just yet. I will have them up for March's post though. And maybe a third YA book in the mix too. I'll work harder at doing better.

February in Review: A-Z
Melissa:
So, it's been a decent month. I read more than this but these are all that fit in this Challenge. I think the letters are going to start to thin out! I need to take a look at the titles I have on the shelves here.
Devil's Luck by Carolyn Crane
The Emperor's Knife by Mazarkis Williams
Lineage by Skyla Dawn Cameron
Magic Burns by Ilona Andrews

January in review: A-Z Challenge
Jackie: Well, January was a near bust for me. I've been sick since just after Christmas but just as I was starting to get some relief, I got another cold (I blame the second one on the kiddie :-p ) What all that whining amounts to is very little reading time. Most days, you'd find me on Twitter complaining to Melissa that a book was just way too heavy to hold, lol.
Anyway, here's what I read for the A-Z challenge this month:
Everneath by Brodi Ashton
The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz
World War Z by Max Brooks
Melissa: Well, I know the feeling of being down with the colds. I think we were sending it back and forth through a virus on here. lol. It's definitely been a tough start to the new year. I've spent more of my time reading short stories with being up and down. And I have books I've read that will go towards this Challenge, but I'm holding them until I get the reviews up here in February, trying to spead the love more than one month. lol.
What I've got thus far for A-Z Challenge...
Addicted by S.A. Archer
Cybrosis by P.C. Haring
Foreshadow by S.A. Archer
Percepliquis by Michael J. Sullivan
Something Wikkid This Way Comes by Nicole Peeler
Well, here's to February being a great lettered month too. :)

January in review: YA (Spec-Fic) Reading Challenge
Jackie: I probably have a ton of books on the shelf that fit this category, but as yet are still unread. So, what was my accomplishment for this challenge in January?
Everneath by Brodi Ashton
It's sad but true. I'm hoping to get a few more of these under my belt of the next few months.
Melissa: Eeep!! Okay, I think I'm slacking. I'm blaming it all on starting the new year sick, and it carrying through. Yes, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. lol. Okay, I've been a bad person, no YA reads for me in January! But I do have a few lined up, if I can get to them, for February. Two, if not three to come.
