2015 Teens Top Ten!

We love YA books, which should be no surprise.

 But we also love Top Ten lists, which may or may not be a surprise.

Our love for both of those things is why we get so excited this time of year. YALSA has just announced their Teens' Top Ten list for 2015!

The Teens' Top Ten is an annual book list sponsored by the Young Adult Library Services Association (aka YALSA). Teens from selected book groups nominate their favorite books, which are announced in September. Teens from all across the country then get to vote for their favorites!

Head to their website to see all the 2015 nominees and book trailers for the Top Ten.

So which YA books made the cut this year??
