Go make your own list and visit YAnnabe to read other folks' lists! Kelly even has nifty directions for how to build your own list using LibraryThing's myriad of sorting options. She'll compile them into a HUGE list on Monday.

The Dust of 100 Dogs has been mentioned on several lists, which means a) it MUST be good and b) I must have been living with my head under a rock because I've never heard of it before!
I'm so glad to see you made your own list! I've only read Pretty Monsters, but it made me GRIN to see it on your list. I just loved that collection so much. :)
Ooh, how I absolutely LOVE To Dance! What a precious graphic novel memoir. I've recently checked out Academy 7 from the library - looking forward to it!
Great list! Love this Unsung YA project!
Anastasia - I really cannot recommend The Dust of 100 Dogs enough. You should definitely check it out!
Kelly - I thought Pretty Monsters was amazing! I can't wait to see more YA from Ms.Link.
Natalie - To Dance was one of the first graphic novels I ever read. I agree that it is precious and sweet, without being too sachrine, of course. I hope you like Academy 7!
Melissa - I KNOW! I'm loving going through everyone's lists!
