Best-Ever Teen Novels? Vote for Your Favourites<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

John Green blogged this link to great teen novels. Go vote for your favourites! I’ve copied the entire list below in case you’re curious, and starred the absolute favourites I chose (picking only 10 was hard!) and bolded everything I’ve read. A couple of the books I read I didn’t read the entire series, and in the case of the Pigman I didn’t finish it (I found something in it upsetting, but it was a long time ago and I don’t remember clearly). There are a lot of books on this list I have been meaning to get around to reading too.<\/p>\n

A big part of the reason I wanted to save (blog) this list is that it looks like the perfect list to have on hand if you run out of things to read. Maybe it will be helpful to you too \ud83d\ude42 If you want, feel free to reblog and indicate the books you’ve read!<\/p>\n
