What about Crown of Embers by Rae Carson?

It's on there! #16 on my list :)

Oh wow total fail haha thanks :D

Thumped doesn't count as Megan McCafferty wrote the Jessica Darling series.

The Jessica Darling series was not published as "YA" (though most consider it that), so Bumped was technically her first published YA, making Bumped her second.

Okey-Dokey. Sorry about that.

No problem! I was confused at first as well when Bumped was a part of the Debut Author Challenge!

I don't think The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead counts because she wrote the entire Vampire Academy series.

Great job with the list though, Shanyn!

True, Linda! Someone else added that and I am working on getting it removed :)

Hey Shanyn what about Underworld by Meg Cabot?

Meg Cabot has published several other YA, so Underworld is not her 2nd YA ever published :)

Sorry my bad :/

I don't think Pandemonium counts towards this challenge (even though I want it to) since it's her third YA book (fourth if you count Liesl & Po (MG)).

You are correct - some people are just adding whatever books they want :p I am going to make an official list in the SRC GR group I just made so that I can moderate it better!

Do you mind if I delete it from the list? I often use lists like these as reference :) But I don't want to go and edit in your list if you don't want me to!

what about jessica rules the dark side?

Cinder was Marissa Meyer's debut.

Graceling is NOT a sophomore, nor was it published in 2012. Please, PLEASE remove it.

Deleted a bunch of titles that were either not sophomores or not published in 2012

Uh, Mercy was published in 2010 or something, since the 4th book came out recently or is coming out. And Sweet Shadows, she has her mermaid books, which I'm pretty sure count as YA, so it's not her 2nd book published. The Calling is the 5th YA of Kelley Armstrong, and Daughter of Smoke and Bone is her YA debut of 2011, so maybe Days of Blood and Starlight instead? Alice in Zombieland is Gena's 7th YA, so I don't think it counts. Hope this helps!
