Support kids! Sponsor me to read a dystopian novel!

[rachelmanija]

Several of you suggested that I hold a poll so you could vote for me to read and review a YA dystopian novel, and sponsor me to do so to raise money for The Virginia Avenue Project. (Making Los Angeles less dystopic since 1992!)

Anyone may vote in the poll. However, people who make an actual pledge will have their votes very, very heavily weighted. If you're willing to pledge, please comment to say so with the amount. (Due to recurrent problems with the VAP website, if you guys trust me, this go-round I'd prefer that you Paypal the money to me, and I'll pass it to them.

If there are multiple suggestions of books not on the list, or if several books are neck-to-neck, I will hold a second poll as a YA dystopia run-off.

So many bad choices, it's hard to narrow it down. My pony is Wither and I'll put $25 in play.

It kind of seems like Bumped should be the sequel, though.

Sexteen was so, so bad. I bought it on a whim, and was so damn thankful that I read it quickly, so I could return it to Borders just as quickly.

(Is there a tag you use for your sponsored read-a-thons, so I can follow that tag and get an email when you post it? I don't get to check LJ daily, and I don't want it miss it!)

I don't actually have a preference, but I'll bid $25 anyway. Just to generally support the reviewing of bad books. ;)

$10

I'll pledge $30. I have already forgotten what I voted for, as I haven't heard of any of these, but I'm sure it will entertaining regardless.
