From Quita and Pam over at Y(A)? Cuz We Write!, I bring you one of my favorite things to do on the internet since 1998, a list of things that I get to comment on!
Top 100 YA Books (2011 version)All of the red titles = I've read them and own them
All of the blue titles = I've read them but don't own them (likely, they walked away from my classroom library over the last two and half years!)
All of the blue titles = I've read them but don't own them (likely, they walked away from my classroom library over the last two and half years!)
All of the titles with * next to them = I own, but have not yet read
All of the titles with ^ next to them = I don't own, but want to read!
What have you read on this list? Any books up here you're dying to read? Any that you think should be subbed on? What would you swap out?
