bunch of (mostly) lame books

I was told to blog about this, so here's to you, Kate! I was asked to join the librarians reading challenge this year. It is something about reading young adult novels, with the library reading the most pages getting a trophy or something. Since my co-workers know of my taste in bad teenage books, I was a good selection. So far I have read the following:

books 1-3 of The Show series. Much like the A-List or the Nannies, pure California teenage angst. Only this time in a badly cast CW wannabe drama.

Diva: a Novel. This one was pretty good, and was a Gateway award nominee. It is the follow up to Breathing Underwater, which was also a pretty good book (I have previously read this one). I wouldn't consider either of these fluffy, as they deal with teenage relationships and domestic violence and family issues. I would recommend these as decent reads.

Zeta or Omega? The first in a southern fluff sorority series. I'm putting the the same category as the first books. However, I can't wait for the series to show up on TV. But as with Gossip Girl and Privileged, will just disappoint me.

It's All About Us. This one is along the same fluff lines, except it has a Christian twist. I wouldn't recommend these for being Christian fiction, as it is really bad. Although I'm going through with the rest of the series to see if it can stay "Christian." Stick with the Melody Carlson for uplifting.

Almost Famous. Written by the same author as the A-List. Only more poorly written. This is going to be a drag of a series...

A Brief Chapter In My Impossible Life. This book made me cry. It is also a Gateway award Nominee. I would choose this one over Diva. It is the best YA book I've read in a long time.

I may have more reviews later on this growing list for competition...
