December is here – that means holiday music, holiday shopping, and yes, a few new YA books to check out. Here’s my list of New YA Books Releasing December 1

Two things I noticed about December YA: I have read (or need to read) SIX of the books on this list. More than half! Is this 2010 Jen? Also, the rest of the month is super-quiet, but don’t worry, I’ll still be letting you know what’s new in YA.
