    Wow, 26 favorites? How many YA novels did you read this year? You have some good ones on your list! I gave Jamie the Patrick Ness trilogy for Christmas, but he hasn't started it yet.

    I really enjoyed Revolution this year, too (on audio) and Amy & Roger's Epic Detour (which I've now got Craig's 8th grade classmates reading!).

    Nice list! Let's hope 2012 is just as good for books!
