The Scott Westerfeld Mini-Challenge will be for 2009. January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009.
The goal of this one is to read TWO of his books.
His YA books include:
So Yesterday (2004)
Midnighters: The Secret Hour (2004)
Midnighters: Touching Darkness (2005)
Midnighters: Blue Noon (2006)
Uglies (2005)
Pretties (2005)
Specials (2006)
Extras (2007)
Peeps (2005)
The Last Days (2006)
He also has a handful of adult titles. I'm not sure if he's got any 2009 releases or not.
He is one of my favorite, favorite authors, and I'd LOVE it if you took this opportunity to discover his works.

I would love to join this challenge. At the school library we couldn't keep Westerfeld's books on the shelves. So I would love to find out what the kids love so much about his writing.
The two I plan to read are Peeps and The Last Days (becuase the Grade 6 girls loved these ones)
I also plan to read the Uglies series soon too :)
I'm in for this one. My niece has been after me to read the Uglies series. This will give me incentive. I'll read The Uglies and The Pretties.
Great choice for a mini-challenge.
I'm going for the Uglies and the Pretties as I keep hearing so much about them.
I love the idea of the mini-challenge! I keep meaning to read some of Westerfeld, but my list of books to read just keeps getting longer! Maybe with this challenge, I can finally get a few read...
I'm in for this challenge! I'll try The Uglies and the Pretties.
PLease sign me up for this challenge next year. I want to catch up on series I started this year and will try and read Pretties, Specials and Extras.
:)
What a delight to have small do-able challenges like these :)
I will get back to you, if I take part, but I will sure keep a watch on your blog :)
thx!
I'd love to join this challenge. These seem to be very popular at our library. I'd like to read the Uglies series also so I'll do the first 2. Maybe by then they will stay on the shelf so I can check them out.

I'm SO in. My oldest has the first 4 (are there more?) in the series and has read them all. Luckily she's cleaned her room recently; shouldn't be too hard to find them. =)
Hi I'm in for this one!
I'd like to participate! I am actually just finishing up the Uglies series, but I wanted to try to read some of his others - now I have a reason to!
I will plan on reading Peeps and Last Days as well.
I want to join! I've already read the first 3 in the Uglies series and I loved them so I'll read Extras and pick another one later!
I love the idea of mini challenges - so much easier!
hello becky - please sign me up for this mini challenge also!

No, it runs all of 2009, you've got plenty of time :)

Hi! I'd love to join this challenge, he's my new found fave author.
OMG!! i love his writing and I am especially hooked on Midnighters series. It's so original!
Yes Please! Me too! =D
I have been meaning to read Specials and Extras(I've read the first two), and this may just be the incentive I need...

Thanks for hosting Becky, this is such a good idea. =D
My friend loves his books and is always after me to read them. I'll be reading Uglies and Peeps, I think.
Thanks for hosting, Becky!

I've just picked up Uglies and Pretties and hope to get to them this year. Maybe this will give me motivation to read them sooner rather than later.
I just "found" this... Is it too late to sign up? =P I'd be cheating, thought. I read Uglies, Pretties, Specials, & Extras this year.
Welcome, Drey! It's not too late to sign up!
I hope it's okay if I sign up now? With all the reviews out there, I just have to sign up... My post is here
