Question - would Jane Eyre count for this challenge? I know it has to be a YA book, but wasn't sure if this would qualify or not as I know a lot of people who had to read it in high school. Also wondering the same for A Midsummer Nights Dream (shakespeare). Thanks!
That's a tough question. Basically we say as long as you find it in the YA/Teen section of a library it should count.

Erika - which genres are you claiming for Obsidian and Unraveling? Also, White Cat is on the WT Bookshelf and I claimed it as July's challenge - conspiracy. SO you can claim 10 extra points for that.
Shae, you did great. If I Stay was also a former group read and on the Wild Things Bookshelf, so you get an extra 5 points as well. :) Thanks for joining us!
