2018’s Top Teen Reads

I’m always looking for good books, and readers choice awards are a great way to find them.  Every year the Young Adult Library Services Association collects nominations for its Teens Top Ten, a list of favorite YA fiction created by teens for teens.

Teens Top TenI’m no longer a teen, so I can’t vote in YALSA’s 2018 Teens Top  Reads.  However, I can scour the list of 25 books nominated to get awesome reading ideas.  This year, books like One of Us is Lying and I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter  caught my eye.  Check out YALSA’s list to see if there’s anything you like:

 

 

If you are a teen, you can vote for up to three books on the list.  The top ten books with the most votes will make the Teens Top Ten (TTT)  for 2018.  Help promote your favorite YA novels!

And, if you aren’t a teen, please share this list with teens you know and find some great reads for yourself!

I’m happy to see that John Green’s Turtles All the Way Down made the list.  This is a powerful book about dealing with mental illness and loss.  In his talented way, Green balances serious and difficult issues with humor.  Definitely a must read.

Where do you look to find good young adult books? 

Thanks for getting nerdy with me!
