 2010 Teens’ Top Ten Nominations

About the Teens' Top Ten
From YALSA; Young Adult Library Services Association
Teens' Top Ten is a "teen choice" list, where teens nominate and choose their favorite books of the previous year! Nominators are members of teen book groups in fifteen school and public libraries around the country. Nominations are posted on Support Teen Literature Day during National Library Week, and teens across the country vote on their favorite titles each year. Readers ages twelve to eighteen will vote online between Aug. 23 and Sept. 17; the winners will be announced in a webcast featuring WWE Superstars and Divas during Teen Read Week.

More than 11,000 teens voted in the 2009 Teens' Top Ten, with Paper Towns by John Green topping the list.

So many books, so little time! Link to all sorts of resources to help you select your next read; award lists, reviews, reading blogs and “read-alike” suggestions. Recommend your favorites for the library’s Book-of-the-Month.
