This is a 2009 mini-challenge sponsored by Becky (read the rules here). Scott Westerfeld wrote a YA series known as the Uglies, after the title of the first book. My niece has been wanting me to read the series for a while now, so this mini-challenge has come at a great time.
I am committing to the first two: The Uglies and The Pretties. I have the whole year to read them, so I'm sure I'll complete the challenge. Thanks, Becky!

That's awesome! I think I have those two and Peeps I got last week. I'm a little nervous about what I have going for challenges right now or I'd join this one!
This one looks interesting and I'm very, very tempted to join. After all, if we have all year.....hmmmm.
I've read the first three in the series and only have Extras left. I enjoyed all of them, although the Valley Girl Speak in Pretties got on my nerves a time or two!
I'm in! :)
Alea: I'm sure you have an increased fondness for Westerfeld at the moment!
Michele: come on, you can do it. Only 2 books!!
Cathy: thanks for the Val Girl warning. My 13 yo niece loves these books.
J. Kaye: heee, heeee
Hi Beth,
