YALSA’s 2013 Hub Reading Challenge Begins!
It’s now February 3 here on the East Coast of the US, so it’s time for YALSA’s 2013 Hub Reading Challenge to begin! We’re hoping the challenge will push you to read/listen to more great books than you would have — and to discover something new in a genre or category you might not have tried.
Challenge objective
Read/listen to 25 of the 83 titles on our list of eligible titles [pdf] to finish the challenge. The list includes YA novels, audiobooks, graphic novels, and books for adults, so there’s plenty to choose from. Bonus objective: read/listen to all 83 titles to conquer the challenge!
Challenge rewards
Beyond experiencing the best of the best that YA lit has to offer, everyone who finishes the challenge will be invited to submit a response to a book they read for the challenge. The response can be text, graphics, audio, video and will be published on The Hub. Furthermore, everyone who finishes the challenge will be entered into a random drawing for our grand prize: a YALSA tote bag full of 2012 and 2013 YA lit! (If the winner is a teacher or librarian or something similar, we’ll also include a few professional development titles.)
Challenge conquerors will receive an elite digital badge to show off how well-read they are.
Challenge guidelines
- The challenge begins at 12:01AM EST on February 3 and ends at 11:59PM EST on June 22.
- Eligible books are the YA titles that were named winners or honor titles for the Schneider Family Book Award and the Stonewall Book Award and those on YALSA’s 2013 Best of the Best list (2013 winners and honor books for the Alex Award, Award for Excellence in Nonfiction, Margaret A. Edwards Award, Michael L. Printz Award, Odyssey Award, and William C. Morris Award, as well as the 2013 Top Ten Amazing Audiobooks, Best Fiction, Great Graphic Novels, Popular Paperbacks, and Quick Picks. Middle grade titles recognized by these lists and awards are not included in the list of eligible titles for this challenge.
- Format matters: a title that has been recognized for both the print version and the audiobook version can be both read and listened to and count as two books, but a book that has won multiple awards or appears on multiple lists in the same format only counts as one title. If a book was recognized as a print version, listening to the audiobook does not count.
- Books must be read/listened to (both begun and finished) within the challenge time period. If you’ve already read/listened to a title, you must re-read/listen to it for it to count. The only exception is for titles you read for the Morris/Nonfiction Reading Challenge; you may count those toward your 25 titles.
- Just about everyone who doesn’t work for ALA is eligible to participate. Yes, non-ALA/YALSA members are eligible. Yes, teens are eligible. Yes, non-US residents/citizens are eligible. (More eligibility questions? Leave a comment or email us.)
- Once you finish the challenge, we’ll contact you with details about creating and publishing your response.
- The grand prize winner will be selected by 11:59pm EST on June 24. The winner will be notified via email.
How to participate
- Comment here announcing your intention to participate. If you’re going to be tracking what you read/listen to on your blog or on Goodreads, LibraryThing, YouTube or some other site, include a link to your blog/shelf/channel/profile in your comment. If you’re not tracking your reading online, keep a list some other way.
- You may “register” by leaving a comment here and starting your reading any time during the challenge period.
- Every Saturday, we’ll publish a check-in post. Leave a comment with everything you’ve read/listened to since the last check-in post. If you’ve reviewed those titles somewhere online, include links to those reviews! Otherwise, let us know what you thought of the books in the comments.
- If you’ve finished the challenge since the last check-in post, fill out the embedded form with your name and contact information. This is how you’ll receive your Finisher’s Badge, how you’ll be contacted about your reader’s response, and how you’ll be entered into the drawing for our grand prize. Please fill out the form only once.
- If you’ve conquered the challenge, let us know in the comments and we’ll send you your Conqueror’s Badge.

I just couldn’t wait to start reading, so I stayed up til midnight! I’ll be tracking my progress on Goodreads here: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/5677039-chelsey
This sounds great! I’ve already read several titles on the list (and started two more within the last couple weeks) but looking forward to checking out more of these award winners & nominees.
I’ll be setting up a GoodReads shelf to keep track. http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/4965711-erin
I’ve read a few of these, but I had recently made a personal goal to read more of these titles, so I love that you guys are having this challenge. Count me in!
Not sure yet how I’m going to be tracking my books.
I’m in.
I participated for the first time last year and it was a great challenge. I think the hardest part was my decision to only read stuff I hadn’t read before – that narrowed my selections a lot!
I’m keeping track on Goodreads.com:
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/3565403?shelf=yalsa-book-challenge-2013
Oooh! This sounds like fun! Count me it…I already have some of these on my TBR pile, anyway. 8-]
Can’t wait to start reading! I’ll be setting up a shelf on Goodreads too!
Okay, I’m going to give this a try. I already did the Morris/Nonfiction awards challenge, so thankfully I already have ten done. Happy reading, everyone!
Oh, and I’ll probably be tweeting my progress @srhlib – probably with the hashtag #hubchallenge again?
Yes! If you’re talking about the challenge on Twitter, use #hubchallenge. :)
I’ll be keeping track on this Goodreads shelf http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/3499822?shelf=2013-hub-reading-challenge
Thanks for the challenge.
Can’t wait to get started. A bunch of these are already on their way to me from the library and to my Kindle.
I’m in! I will be keeping track on this goodreads shelf and will also post on my blog
Can’t wait!
I’m in!
Ready, set, read! I’m excited to start the challenge. I’ll post longer updates on my blog, Writing ‘Bout Reading and on a Librarything Shelf 2013 Hub Reading Challenge
I completed the Morris and Nonfiction reading challenges and there are a couple of posts about that on my blog. Those books are on their own LibraryThing shelf, Morris/Nonfiction Reading Challenge
I’ve been recruiting at work and have four co-workers who have agreed to read with me. Now the question is if I can get them to comment here. If not, I’ll post summaries of our group effort myself.
You’ll excuse me, I now have to go start reading!
Count me in! I’ll be tracking my progress on my blog and on Goodreads here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/5505115-jessica?format=html&shelf=2013-hub-reading-challenge
Quick question – The Chris Lynch Vietnam series is one entry in the Quick Picks list but there are three books. Does each title count separately? Or do we have to read all three to be able to count it? They are included on one line in your challenge list.
Thanks!
I’m game. I’ll be tracking my progress on my blog: Booklady’s Booknotes (http://bookladysbooknotes.wordpress.com) and at Goodreads.
I definitely want in! I’ll track my progress on a goodreads shelf. http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/30221-hannah?format=html&shelf=the-hub-challenge

Track my progress here…
KindergartenLove.
I did the Non-fiction challenge for the first time this year and I am excited to this reading challenge.
I’ll be tracking it on my blog.
http://booksandbassets.wordpress.com
I’m already thinking how I might represent my reading.
I am in (although it means restarting a couple of books I was already half way through). I am going to be tracking my progress on GoodReads ( http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/5154627-annalee-schnebele).
Sounds like a great challenge to me. I’ll be tracking on my goodreads shelf – http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1372519?shelf=2013-hub-challenge
I’m in! I’ll be tracking my progress at jplusya.tumblr.com.
This should be fun! I track my reading on Shelfari here: http://www.shelfari.com/o1514570082
I’m totally in! Progess will be tracked on my blog (thelibrarianchick.wordpress.com). Aaaaaaaaand, she’s off!
I’m definitely in! As a youth services librarian currently staying at home with my tiny children a little extra inspiration to stay up to date with the best YA lit is highly appreciated!
I’ll be tracking my reading on shelfari, with the tag Hub Reading Challenge 2013. http://www.shelfari.com/arglefraster/shelf
I’m in! Will set up a shelf called Hub Reading Challenge 2013 on my goodreads account : http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/6345187-halley-todd
I didn’t quite finish the Nonfiction/Morris reading challenge, but I think I can defeat this one. I’ll track my progress using a Goodreads shelf: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1636432-ariel-cummins?format=html&shelf=best-of-the-best-challenge-2013
Can’t wait to start! This will be fun!
Yeah! I’m in! I’ll track my progress on my blog:
http://www.nevershushed.com
I’m excited to have some external motivation to read these – many have been on my list for a while already!
I’ll be keeping track of my progress here http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/6186379-caroline?format=html&shelf=hub-reading-challenge-2013
I go through so many books already, I might as well read someting new! I’m not sure how I’ll keep track, but this sounds fun.
This sounds like fun! I do enjoy a good reading challenge!
I’m in! First up, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. I will be tracking my progress here: http://bit.ly/VxlOOU (a goodreads list)
I’ll give it a shot! Not sure how I’ll track progress. Reviews will go on my blog and I’ll try to remember to mention the challenge in the post. I might set up a Goodreads shelf too.
I guess I should have clarified before throwing myself in the challenge – does serving on a committee constitute working for ALA?
I’m in! I have 7 books in the books thanks to the Morris/Non-fiction challenge. I’ll keep track on my “yalsa best of the best 2013″ Goodreads shelf.
It was interesting to see how many Alex Award titles were already on my “to read” list.
This year’s challenge will also give me an opportunity to revisit some series I had started and loved, but not kept up with…like Artemis Fowl and Monstrumologist.
I’m in. I feel so far behind in my reading. This will be a fun way to catch up!
This will be fun! I already wanted to read more books from the lists, so this is a perfect challenge. I’ll keep track on Goodreads and my blog, wrapped up in books.
I’m so in! I enjoyed doing the Morris challenge!

So excited to participate again this year!
I will be participating on a few different fronts.
Personally, I’ll be keeping track of individual titles over at my library tumblr, here.
Last year, a number of we reviewers over at No Flying No Tights participated, and we’re all geared up to do so again. We’ll be posting our reactions over at No Flying No Tights.
This year, the group over at Good Comics for Kids will also be participating in a slightly different way — we’ll be reading (or re-reading) all of the graphic novels and comics which won awards and commenting on them over at the SLJ group blog every Wednesday. We’ll be alternating — one week we’ll simply discuss the title, and then the next week we’ll recommend read-alikes. I don’t know if that will really count as participation per se, as we will not ultimately be reading 25 titles (as we’ll just be reading the graphic novels/comics), but we thought it was an appropriate way to get in to the spirit of the challenge at that blog.
My goodreads bookshelf is here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/627666?shelf=yalsa-the-hub-challenge and I will be posting reviews at yadultreview.com
I’m in! I’m eager for the challenge and excited to join all of you.
I can’t wait to read some of these titles, they were on my to read shelf anyway!
I will track on goodreads

I’m in! I’m shuffling a full-time job and LIS school, but I couldn’t resist! =) I’ll be keeping track through my goodreads bookshelf: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/2739540?shelf=2013-hub-reading-challenge
I think this will be great fun, I don’t know how I will track my progress probably twitter or goodreads.
I’m in and looking forward to tracking my progress via my GoodReads shelf: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/108634?shelf=hub-challenge-2013
Hooray! I’m excited to get started. I completed the Morris Award Challenge so a bit of a head start . . . I’ll be keeping track here: Good Reads – Hub Challenge 2013 bookshelf/a>
What a wonderful challenge! I’m up for it and will track on my goodreads account.
I’m in. Just finishing up a challenge to read the Amazon Top 20 YA books, so this is perfect timing!
I’m in! I got a bit of a head start with the Morris Challenge, but I’m still glad to have a little longer time period to finish this year; it was tight last year! I’ll be tracking my progress on Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1712539-emily?format=html&shelf=botb-challenge-2013

I’m in! I will be tracking my progress on Goodreads at
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1436278?shelf=hub-2013-challenge

Ok! Going to try my best! Here’s my Goodreads list:
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/7508454-liz-rowland?format=html&shelf=hub-challenge-2013
I’m in!
I’m in! I want to read all these books anyway, so it is good to have extra motivation. I’ll bee keeping track on goodreads http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/3545597?shelf=hub-challenge13. Yay!
I also am in. I tried last year and did not get as many as I wanted read but I am committed to do my best to get through alot of these titles. Let the games begin!!!
I’m in and will be tweeting my progress from book to book.
I cannot pass up a challenge this level of awesome. Count me in! I too will be creating a shelf on Goodreads:
http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/596125-robert-chartrand
As a side note, I only counted 83 titles on the list of eligible books instead of 84. Does anyone else get 83 or did I not count right?
Oh, no, you’re right — I totally read my spreadsheet wrong. There are, in fact, 83 titles. The Vietnam series counts for just one entry, since it appears as one entry (rather than three) in its Top Ten list.
Now I’m only counting 82. Ugh–I hate to be that commenter that keeps questioning everything and pointing stuff out! -___-
I noticed that Draanen on the third page, first row is by itself and I think is supposed to go with Wendelin Van Draanen of The Running Dream. I think that is what tripped me up before to get 83.
Is 82 the correct answer? Sorry again!!
Hm, I’m still seeing 83. Take a look at this numbered list [pdf].
Sigh. It’s 83. I was wrong. Going to stop talking now! T-T
This is so exciting! Definitely want to participate. I’ll be keeping tack on my blog as well as on Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1878678?shelf=yalsa-the-hub-challenge
Thanks SO much for doing this for all us avid readers!
I’m so excited to see so many people signed up already!! I’m off to a late start but I’m ready to go! YAY!
I will be participating and hopefully completing the challenge this year.
I’ll be using Goodread again and will create my shelf later.
So far I’ve read Heist Society by Ally Carter and I’ve listened to Artemis Fowl: the Last Guardian by Eoin Colfer (I love all of the Artemis Fowl books and the audiobooks are great)!
Can’t wait! So many of the titles were already on my own “To Read” list. I haven’t decided how to keep track yet, but will let you know.
Joanne
Figured out the counting issue. I was only getting 82 until I realized Chris Lynch has 3 titles in the Vietnam series. Problem solved!
I don’t know if I can conquer the list, but I look forward to trying! I am definitely in.
I’m participating! This is a great motivator, thanks YALSA and The Hub! I’m hoping to review most of the books on my blog, but I’ll be keeping track with Goodreads too.
I’ve read so many of these already, so now I get to read a whole bunch more! I’ll be tracking at http://www.goodreads.com/callunavul, and I’m going to try to review all of them on my blog gingerlibrarian.wordpress.com
I’m in! Have been looking forward to it since last year’s challenge! I’ll create a shelf on goodreads once I’ve read my first book.
I’m looking forward to trying the challenge. I have read quite a few already and will gladly reread the one’s I have enjoyed. Can not wait to read some other titles I haven’t had an opportunity read to yet. Not sure how I will post yet.
I’m in. This sounds like fun. I can’t wait
Plan to participate in the HUB Reading Challenge!
I’m in!!! I wanted to participate last year but I was too late to be able to get in all 25 books, so glad to see I am right at the beginning this time. I will be keeping track through a featured shelf on Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/7484843-cat and I can’t wait to get started!
I’m in! I started keeping track here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/13324287-anna-chappell?format=html&shelf=hub-challenge

I had already put a dozen of the most recent award-winners on hold – now I have the challenge to ensure that I make it through everything!
Well, looks like I have something else to play with alongside the Goodreads reading challenge! I’m in and can’t wait; I’m going to start over Bomb: the Race… I needed to start it again anyway since I forgot some of the information from the beginning.
Made a Goodreads shelf! http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/13480935?shelf=hub-challenge
Challenge Accepted! I’ll be tracking my reading on my blog: boybookshelf.blogspot.com. I’ll do a challenge begins post this evening.
I’m starting off a bit late, but it’s not about the deadline, it’s about the books. Should be a lot of fun!
I’m going to give it a shot. Until I can figure out how to post a link to my Goodreads shelf, I’ll be posting my progress here. Cheers!
Yikes, I’m probably the fourth or fifth guy to sign up. Sigh. We need to get more guys reading!
Well, I’m up for a challenge. I wrote an article about this for my local paper http://www.theledger.com.
I’ll track on LibraryThing, http://www.librarything.com/catalog/vsnunez
I love it! I’m going to put the badge on my blog and I’ve already downloaded the list (great collection development tool by the way) with highlights of all the books I’ll read.
Thanks for putting together such a terrific challenge. :-)
Forgot my blog link! http://thesassylibrarian.blogspot.com
Plan to try this, will track in Goodreads
BTW, the Ledger article runs Tuesday in print, hopefully up on-line by Wednesday February 13
This is awesome! Will you comment with the link when it goes up in case I miss it? Thanks a bunch for spreading the word — and for advocating for male readers!
I’d love to give it a try! I’m not sure I’ll have enough time, but isn’t that the eternal dilemma for librarians and book lovers? :)
Always wanted to try one of these… I will track my books on this fancy Goodreads shelf. http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/17252138?shelf=yalsa-s-2013-hub-reading-challenge
I am so in! I’m going to be tracking my progress on my library’s blog. http://severnlibrary.wordpress.com/
Good luck all :-)
I will be participating as well–kind of wish I had waited a month to read the Miseducation of Cameron Post now though!
I’ll be tracking my progress on Goodreads with a Hub Challenge 2013 shelf once I get started: http://www.goodreads.com/ruthalight
I’ll probably also write at least short reviews for what I get through on my blog: http://ceriselumiere.wordpress.com
I’m in. I’ll be tracking my progress on Goodreads. I read the 5 finalists for the Excellence in Nonfiction Award, so I’m hopeful that I’ll get this done!
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1455445?shelf=hub-challenge-2013
Count me in! Sounds like fun…I’m also on Goodreads, a great site for tracking.
Full time employee. Full time student. However, there’s that lull between spring and summer semester. And perhaps I can convince our teen graphic fiction book group to select a few of these titles. Hmmmm…I’ll give it a go.
I just finished reading Seraphina, and give it 3 stars out of 5. My comments are on my Tumblr blog: http://www.tumblr.com/blog/booksarebest
I’m in as well. I’ll be tracking my progress on Goodreads here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/6240908-kalen?format=html&shelf=hub-challenge-2013-read&utf8=%E2%9C%93&view=table
I’m redesigning my website, so I’ll probably track the reading at goodreads. I created a special shelf – http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/4891961?shelf=yalsathrc
I’m in. I will log mine on my The Hub Reading Challenge Shelf!
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/5602360-amanda-long?format=html&shelf=the-hub-reading-challenge
Fun! Going to keep track at Goodreads:
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1838334-emily?format=html&shelf=2013-hub-reading-challenge
I will try to find books on this list with ‘tween’ appeal for my blog Good Tween Reads.

Ready to go! I’m tracking my progress here: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/3931928-jennifer
I’m in, and will publicize this to Iowa’s youth services librarians. I’ve started with Tamora Pierce’s Edwards Award books.
Oops–forgot–I’m tracking my progress on Goodreads, at http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/671609.
This is my first YALSA Hub Challenge. I am so excited to participate and will be tracking my progress on Goodreads and Twitter @FriendRsquared. I hope to do weekly check-ins on my blog, but I don’t have a computer at the moment, so we will see how that goes.
I’ve set up my Goodreads shelf:
I have 9 books on my list so far.
I have already read 7 books from the Morris/Non-fiction challenge. I will be tracking my reads on my Goodreads shelf
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/806395-amanda?format=html&page=1&shelf=hub-reading-challenge
I’m in! I’ll do anything for a badge ;)
As a high school library clerk, I try to read many of these titles anyway. This challenge will get me to explore other formats. I started by reading The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. Besides my blog I post on LibraryThing with the screen name Mamzel and my library blog, http://napahighlibrary.blogspot.com/.
It was quite fortuitous that a friend invited me to join in this challenge! I’ve been a voracious reader this week and will be happily posting updates on my Hub Reading Challenge shelf here:
http://www.goodreads.com/MichelleLMLee
Count me in.
Hi,
I’m excited to have started the reading challenge. I’m currently reading The Fault in our Stars by John Green. I’m going to try to keep track of my books read on goodreads, but I haven’t set it up yet.
I’m starting today. What fun!
I’ll be keeping track on my blog at http://literate-her.blogspot.com/.
First up? The Fault in Our Stars and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever.
I always like a challenge, especially when it involves books.
I’m in! Part of me thinks I can read/listen to all the titles, but that’s probably unrealistic. I’m definitely going to try, though! I’ll be keeping track on GoodReads: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/4777608?shelf=yalsa-challenge
I’m in, and I’ll be keeping track here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/634095?shelf=hub-2013

I’m in! I’ll link reviews on Twitter, using #hubchallenge.
Giving it a shot, tracking my progress on my 2013 hub reading challenge Goodreads shelf.
I’m ready! Starting today. I’ll be tracking my books here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/5720660-sally-cooper?format=html&shelf=2013-hub-reading-challenge
Excited to start and have spread the word to my school librarian cohorts!
We are doing this as a YA Department challenge at Granville (Ohio) Public Library! I’m in. :)
I have begun to keep track of the books.
I’d love to get in on this reading challenge!
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/17509609-emilie-braunel?format=html&shelf=yalsa-2013-reading-challenge
Turns out I started the challenge w/out even knowing it! Just finished Pratchett’s Dodger. I’m in!
I also started the challenge without knowing it. I finished Nick Lake’s In Darkness and have just started reading Moonbird. So, I guess I only need to pick 23 more books and several were on my list of books to read anyway. Should be fun. Thanks!
I’m in: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/10722274-holly-steele?format=html&shelf=yalsa-hub-reading-challenge
Looking forward to reading some great books!
This challenge is a great motivator to increase the variety of teen books I read. Thanks!
Late to the party, but I’m going to try. I’ve already challenged myself to read 52 books through the Goodreads Reading Challenge. This will add to the challenge and help guide my choices.
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/5227501-serenity?format=html&shelf=hub-challenge
You are all on…. I will get the books!! I need the books.
I am going to keep track on goodreads. The website is http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/17585601-nick

I’m in for the challenge, and I’ll be tracking my reads on twitter @hari_vert.

Totally in! I’ll be keeping track on Shelfari.
Will do my best! I will track progress on Goodreads http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1060755?shelf=2013-hub-challenge
I’ll be going for it – not sure how many I’ll be able to get through (what with AP classes and whatnot) but I’ll try my best! I’ll be keeping track… simply on paper. Or a Word document.
My student book group is reading Never Fall Down, so it seems like a good time to start the challenge. http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/142936-sally?format=html&shelf=hub

Looking forward to the challenge! I’ll keep track on my Goodreads site.
I would like to give it a try if starting a bit late, unsure how I will track, but will take a look at goodreads and get back if this luddite can figure it out.
Better late than never– I accept the challenge!
I love to read! So I’m going to try to conquer the challenge!!

I’d already declared this a reading weekend, with a lovely stack of YA lit, so this sounds like a fun extension.
Sounds like a fun challenge I’m willing to try.
Not sure how to keep u posted on progress. Sorry I’m new to this, a little help?
We’ll publish weekly check-in posts where you can comment to tell us what you’ve read and how you like it. The important thing is to fill out the form at the end of a check-in post once you hit your 25 titles!
So I register by commenting here?
So I just comment here to register?
Yes! You’re now officially registered. :)
Hi so I register by comment here?
I’ll be tracking my progress on Goodreads! My username on there is Nettles, but I can also be searched out by email address: nettles.marie@gmail.com
I just found out about the challenge yesterday! I was excited to see that we have many titles on our shelves at the middle school where I am the library aide. I can’t wait to get started!
Can’t wait to read some of these books!
Oh, here’s my goodreads link: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/11040397

Totally participating again! Keeping track of my reading here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/5093810-sarah-wright?format=html&shelf=2013-yalsa-best-of-the-best
Just got started on the Challenge on Wednesday. I have read The Fault in our Stars and are more than halfway finished with Titanic: Voices from the Disaster. I think that both are very well written books. I could not put down The Fault in our Stars, as it was very interesting. On the other hand, Titanic: Voices from the Disaster is a great book and includes many details of how this tragic event unfolded. It’s going a lot slower for me. Moving on to Wonder next! Hope it’s a good one!
I shall def give this a shot! This’ll get me to read some of the books I wasn’t sure about reading lol.
OK, I’m a little nervous, but here goes! I’ll do my best!
Starting today!
I have already read many of the titles and I’m looking forward to reading more. I will be tracking my progress on my Goodreads page: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/11109985-kefira-philippe

Sign me up! 25 books in 4 months? Let’s see where we go!
let the fun begin!
Here are the books I have completed so far.
Finished: “My Friend Dahmer” 5 of 5 for my rating, “Pure” also 5 of 5
I really should read more of these, and I can’t wait to read the next title in the “Pure” trilogy, but after I bag my 25 for this challenge…
I am now entering! Can’t I can’t believe that their is actually a contest for reading! Well I can or I wouldn’t be entering plus I won some for my school, but still I am super excited.

I haven’t read any of these yet, but a lot of them are on my tbr list. I’ll be keeping track on my goodreads shelf: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/3047583-sandy?format=html&shelf=yalsa-2013-hub-challenge
Okay I won’t have access to any computer from later today till Monday. So I am posting what I have read so far now.
1) Steve Jobs: the Man Who Thought Different
It is a biography and if you read this book you will learn a lot more about Steve Jobs like how he was a drop out and how he was doing an illegal business with his best friend. Out of biographies I would rate this 4.25/5 and out of all books I would rate this 2.375/5.
This will be getting me out of my comfort zone.
Just finished Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. For my list of books read please go to: http://www.shelfari.com/Best-Of/10671/HUB-READING-CHALLENGE
I am going to give this a shot! It’ll go on my Goodreads shelf ;-)

Just finished “Steve Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different,” okay, interesting person, not hugely informative, but I did learn some things I didn’t know about Mr. Jobs. What a weird life!

and on my blogger: http://tricqui.blogspot.com/
I’d like to participate in this challange
I’m so in!! I can definitely catch-up, because I’ve already been reading some of these. ;)
Books I have listened to/read:
2) Wonder: August has a damaged face and some disablitities. So he is home schooled until one day his mom decides to put him in public school so he can get a better education. How will he ever survive the “not staring” looks each kid peaks behind their note book and the bullies calling him a alien? Will he ever make friends in this amateurish world?
I’m all in for the 2013 reading challenge!
I’ll track myself on my goodreads page:
http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/73527-ellen
7 down! I better step up my game…
I JUST learned about this! I’m hoping that books that I’ve read since it began will still count even if I’m just registering now? Either way I’m in! I’m tracking myself on Goodreads:
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1354316-jennifer?format=html&shelf=yalsa-hub-challenge
Yes! Anything you’ve read since the challenge started counts — even if you didn’t know you were reading for the challenge at the time! :)
Late to the game, but eager to catch up and participate! I’ll be keeping track on alysonreadsbooks.com
I have actually started reading some of these titles as part of my internship, but it was after Feb. 3, so they count :) Since I am almost finished with school, I am able to read more! 5 titles that I have read thus far: Heist Society, The Fault in Our Stars, Aristotle & Dante, Code Name Verity, & Putting Makeup on the Fat Boy. Just checked out 3 more titles from the public library yesterday!
Started a bit late, but here’s the shelf on gooreads where I’ll be keeping track. 21 books in 2 months? I got this.

I was just informed of the wonderful fun to be had in participating in this challenge. I’m in!!
This challenge is great! I’m coming into it a bit late, but I’ve read several of these already, so I think I’ve still got time, and I’m excited to be reading some books I might have missed otherwise. Check out my Goodreads list: http://www.goodreads.com/user_challenges/631414
Hello,
I just heard about this challenge and wanted to particpate. So far I have read/listend to 27 out of the 83 books. They can all be seen here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/9572840-veronica-mckay?shelf=read
I plan to try out this challenge. I know I’m late to the party, but I believe I can make it! I’ll be tracking my progress through GoodReads: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/19981819-magda.
Joining very late, but better late than never. . .
Better late than never
I’m going to do my best to read as many as I can. :-)
I’m also joining quite late. So far I’ve read and/or listened to 19 titles.
Been working on this but only signed up now. Tracking through Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/12567491?shelf=2013-teen-hub-challenge
I wish I had know about this earlier… Oh, well. :)
Luckily I’ve read several titles recently (listed in Good Reads), so I am still hoping to make the 25. I’m a big reader so maybe I could have read all 83 had I known about it from the start. Is this an annual challenge? I sure hope so. I’m surprised I did not hear of it from Houston Public Library, nor from Harris County Public Library nor from my school! I borrow so much from these places but never heard of this challenge till today by chance I happened upon it.

This is indeed a yearly challenge! We’ll have a different challenge that starts in November, and then the 2014 Hub Reading Challenge will start in late January/early February 2014.
