Help Me Choose What YA I Should Read! (Part 2)

Obviously, this is part two (and the final part), but just in case you missed part one and are wondering what’s going on:

One of my classes this semester is: Young Adult Literature – yay! Except… I have to read 1-2 books per week from a specific list (that also changes each week) on top of the regular course readings, coursework, my other class, and my job… so I’m a little overwhelmed.

Some of the stuff I’ve read before, but we can’t pick those (or at least some of the weeks say we can’t.. I’m curious if that means sometimes I can reference something I’ve already read before – who knows.)

Basically, I have 16 weeks of assignments (although week one we don’t start on the books), so I figured I’d do this in two parts. Help me out with weeks 9-15 (except 13, there’s no choice on the two we read that week) and let me know which of these books I need to read each week!

So I want to know what you guys think. I don’t know all these books and I want my fellow YA readers and bloggers to help me out. Do you think you’re up for it?
