2012 New Adult Challenge

Here we go again! The 2012 New Adult Challenge is hosted by A Tapestry Of Words. 

The rules are: 

• The book must feature a protagonist who is past the average age for graduation from high school (18 in most places). If they're sitting on the fence at precisely age 18, then you can make the judgment call on whether it is more YA or New Adult. (If the majority of it is set in high school, I'd classify it as YA.) The protag should be younger than 30, just to give a maximum limit as well (otherwise we're getting into Not-So-New Adult literature!)
• This does *not* mean the book must be of the contemporary genre. If it's a fantasy or dystopian or something and there *is* no concept of "graduation" in that world, then just go by our world's standards in deciding if it counts.
• The levels:
• Just Graduated: read a minimum of 3 New Adult books
• Moving Out: read a minimum of 6 New Adult books
• Living On Your Own: read a minimum of 9 New Adult books
• Fully Independent: read every single New Adult book you can get your hands on
• There will be a giveaway (possibly multiple giveaways?), so if you participate, you will be entered to win!
• You don't have to have a blog to participate, but you must post your reviews somewhere accessible online (eg. Goodreads). 
• For ideas of books to read, check out this Goodreads list (begun by Chachic of Chachic's Book Nook): New Adult Literature. And you might find this list helpful too.

The challenge will run from Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2012. Sign up HERE if you would like to join me in my quest to discover more New Adult books (and encourage authors and publishers to produce more!) 

I'm starting small on this challenge with Level 2: Moving Out, read a minimum of 6 New Adult books. I'm pretty sure I will advance up the levels but I don't want to set my sights too high.
