YA Books of the 80's and 90's {reading challenge}

Another Challenge! {i love it!} And this one looks like a lot of fun!!

The Book Vixen is hosting a YA Books of the 80's and 90's reading challenge. It starts January 1st, 2011 and runs until December 31st, 2011. The books read must be originally published in either the 80's or 90's. Since I was born in 1982, I knew this challenge would be something I could really get into! Although my love for reading didn't officially start until the 90's, I am still ready to take part in this challenge. {and I found some interesting stuff for me to read!}

When I was younger, one of my favorite series was The Thoroughbed series by Joanna Campbell. I never read the entire series, {72 books in series}, so I would love to re-visit it and hope to actually make it all the way through! I also decided to try and read as many books as I can from these series as well; The Babysitters Club {131 books in sereis} and Sweet Valley High {144 books in series}.
I decided to throw a few extra titles in as well. Hoping to read at least the first 5-6 books in each series. Here is my complete list: {hoping I am able to find all of these to read!}

1. The Giver by Lois Lowry
2. Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume
3. Just as Long as We're Together by Judy Blume

So, will you join us?
