Reading YA books in the month of August! Hosted by @mariandiepb and @suey. 

To gamify this challenge, we've assigned genres and other reading prompts to each card in a deck of playing cards. The idea is to read enough YA this month in order to create a Poker hand! Books can be fiction or non-fiction, but must be considered YA!

Hearts: Romance or Contemporary
Diamonds: SciFi or Dystopian
Spades: Mystery/Thriller/Horror
Clubs: Fantasy or Romantasy

Ace: Disability or Mental Health Representation
King: History, Government, Politics, Social Class, Culture
