Today, in honor of Support Teen Literature Day, the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) announced the Teen’s Top Ten Nominations. Teens will vote August through September, and then during Teen Read Week in October, the final list of the 10 most popular books voted on by teens will be announced. I’ve always thought this was a great list to share with my students, and to see how many I’ve read/listed as my favorites also. I’ve only read 8 of the 25 nominated books – I’d better get going!
