Wow, what a great bonanza of book suggestions! Time for a book display? Time to do a little reading to see what you think? See what you think of the following:
Teens Top Ten is announced every year during Young Adult Library Service Association (YALSA) Teen Read Week. Teens have a chance to vote on their favorite books from a list of nominees (selected by teen book groups). You can see a list with short annotations, too. There has been lots of buzz about many of these titles, how many have you read? How many are in your collection? These are books that reading teens have voted on–if you don’t have them, maybe you should…
#1: Divergent by Veronica Roth
#2: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
#3: Legend by Marie Lu
#4: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
#5: What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen

#7: Cinder by Marissa Meyer
#8: The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
#9: Where She Went by Gayle Forman
