Kelly at YAnnabe contacted me about this special Blog Blitz she was organizing and although I was very interested in participating I failed because this was an extra-busy week and I have had little to no time to blog. So my post is late, when it should have been up on Thursday, or even by the end of Sunday. Since I am writing this Sunday morning and I decided I wanted to do a video post that still needs to be filmed, I don't know if I'll make the deadline. I got it up in time, go me!! Either way, I still think this is a great idea to post about some of the best YA books that people have read that didn't seem to get as hyped as others.

My top YA picks from the video are:

The Puzzle Ring - Kate Forsyth

The 13 Treasures - Michelle HarrisonThe 13 Curses - Michelle Harrison

Sisters of Misery - Megan Kelley HallThe Lost Sister - Megan Kelley Hall

The Swan Kingdom - Zöe Marriott

The Good Girls’ Ghouls’ Guide to Getting Even - Julie KennerGood Girls Ghouls Do - Julie Kenner

If you head on over to Kelly's original post you can see the list of participants, last I heard it was 39, which I think is pretty impressive!

I really do hope that this post has helped some of you discover fantastic new YA fiction to pick up and enjoy. Spread the word!
