Because I just don't have enough to do, I'm gearing up my search for the next Printz Award! The reason I started this blog was to keep track of my reading so that I could improve my book review skills and hopefully pick the book that would be considered best for teens by the ALA. This first list was chosen in three ways:
- Several starred reviews
- Established author
- Gut reaction
Sweet, Hereafter by Angela Johnson
Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta
Incarceron by Catherine Fisher
Ever After Ever by Jordan Sonnenblick
Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan
Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
Happyface by Stephen Edmonds
Borderline by Allan Stratton
Ostrich Boys by Keith Gray
The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson
Some Girls Are by Courtney Summers
Num8ers by Rachel Ward
Woods Runner by Gary Paulsen
Watch for summaries and short reviews!
