But What Should I Read Now…?

Sometimes I just don’t know what to read next.  Some of us like to browse the shelves.  Some of us get reading recommendations from friends and family.  You might also consider checking out the nominations for reading lists.  Reading lists like the Lone Star list (for grades 6-8), the Tayshas list (for grades 9-12), and the Best Fiction for Young Adults list (grades 6-12) post all the titles that have been nominated for recognition almost every month.  These lists are like getting recommendations from your friends…if your friends were all librarians who geek out about new books.  This week I thought I’d give a snapshot of some of the books nominated for the Best Fiction for Young Adults list.  How do you hear about great new reads?
