i think you've done a good revision. i read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn a few months ago and loved it! i'm also going to read Gathering Blue for this challenge, i think (after i re-read The Giver). i keep hearing good things about The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, so i may have to add that one to my list.
I'm not sure which ones were really YA or not, because I'm relatively new to the YA genre. That's why I planned the challenge! :)
I hope you're happy with your revised choices. Ultimately, it's all about having fun and enjoying our reads.
