Fall is really in full swing now, and suddenly an update to my summer YA reading list seems overdue! Here’s the rundown: on Memorial Day weekend, I started a reading list of 26 books / book series. A little over 4 months later, I’ve read 16 books or series on my list (20 books in all). I’ve been blogging about my progress throughout the summer, but between starting a new job in August and things picking up with my own writing and editing, it’s been a little busy here in Brooklyn, so I’m going to dial back the blogging to focus on making some serious progress toward finishing my list. And of course, because I am a rabid overachiever, I already have the next installment ready and waiting! You can keep track of what I’m currently reading on my home page and over on Goodreads. You can find the original summer reading list here.
