I saw this on Facebook today and then again on some blogs, so I thought I'd fill it out and share. It's not fair though, because there are so many on this list that I've checked out from the library meaning to read but haven't gotten to them yet!

Man, only 23 read-that's so sad! But I do have 34 on my TBR list, so hopefully I'll get to some of these soon.
Which ones have you read?
Hmm, so this was actually a list put out by YALSA? I just saw it on people's blogs and thought it'd be fun to do. Didn't know it was library-approved. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was orignally posted on Facebook by a teen librarian's group, and then the person who made it (I think) posted it on YALSA yesterday. So it's semi-library approved. haha:)
ReplyDeleteWow, I love YA books but have only read 12 of the ones listed. Sad.
ReplyDeleteHad no idea Rob Thomas of Rats Saw God was the same RT of Veronica Mars! What a great list. The Book Thief is in my TBR pile.
ReplyDeletePush by Sapphire is a TEEN book!? I'm pretty liberal, but most of the people in my master's level class that read it couldn't even finish it. Push is seriously distirbing. I'm still unsure if I love it or hate it and it has been three years since I read the book. It still haunts me, which is what I think sapphire intended.
ReplyDeleteDebbie-I know, I felt like I should have read more too!
ReplyDeleteJenny-Yep, Rob Thomas started out as a YA author and then went into writing for TV. I'm sure I'd like his books since I love his TV shows. I want to read The Book Thief too, but it's soo long!
Lizzy-I hadn't even heard of that book until I saw it on this list. From what I read on Amazon, I really think I'd hate it
So is it YALSA that put this list together then??
ReplyDeleteI've been dying to know because, even though I don't profess to know all things YA, I was suprised at how many of the titles I had never heard of (I'd only read 18!).
Needless to say I will be creating a new tag for these titles in my librarthing collection.
Rebachin-No it's not put out by YALSA, I saw it on the YALSA book listserv when someone posted a link to the Facebook page it was posted on. Here's the link to where I found it: http://tinyurl.com/bxth6j
