I'm going to go by author rather than by title. AS this is a YA blog, all the books will be YA. Please, feel free to give me recs, as I don't know if I will be able to come up with them on my own.

B. Suspicion by Kate Brian
C. Something Like Fate by Susane Colasanti
D. Magic Under Glass by Jaclyn Dolamore
E. Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles
F. Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick

H. My Love Lies Bleeding by Alyxandra Harvey
I.
J. Need by Carrie Jones

    I don't read too many YA books but Anne at Books on the Nightstand discussed The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt in her last blog and that sounded like good book and Scott Westfeld's new book. Leviathan looks good as well (it has a really cool trailer which hooked me immediately)
    Good luck!

    Just thinking about the letters that will be harder for you to find authors for... I've had The Secret Rites of Social Butterflies by Lizabeth Zindel on my wish list for a really long time now. If you were to go for that one, I might try to read it at the same time as you! Mind you, there are some other great Z's, like Gabrielle Zevin (Elsewhere is a must-read!)

    I'll check back and see which letters you're missing another day! I think "Q" will be tough.

    For Z I'm reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I'm a bit worried about X, not sure who is going to fill that spot!

    Good luck with this one :)
