J Kaye 2010 YA Reading Challenge

I recently (this morning) decided that I want to take part in the J Kaye 2010 Young Adult Reading Challenge. SEE MORE HERE And what better way to really enjoy my last few months before I go back to school?

I also decided that I really wanted some guidance on some awesome books to read. So I started searching for the best YA books, and I found this years ALA list of best books for young adults. SEE LIST HERE

My goal for the next few months is to read all 90 of those books, and maybe some others. Thankfully I have until the end of the year. Stay tuned for a running list of what I completed. 

Why I'm Here.

I love a deal. Don't you? I could say that I love a good deal almost as much as I LOVE fashion. I am a Tribeca Fashionista soul living in a country girl body.

I scour the internet all day and the magazines all night. So that you don't have to. I look for high fashion, low price. And I love unique one of a kinds.

I will be using this blog to show you things that I think you should see. Basically I will be doing the leg work for you. Who has time to sit around and cruise the internet all day long? Well, I do, and I am here to help.
