My Teen Read Week Post

We're right in the middle of Teen Read Week, which has been on my calendar since last year since this is exactly the kind of thing I usually miss. In its newsletter (which arrived this week) teenreads.com does the rah-rah thing for Teen Read Week and announces its own Ultimate Teen Reading List, which is actually quite good. It's a mix of 250 YA and and adult titles the people at the site put together because "We have found that required reading lists for school --- especially summer reading lists --- are not exactly inspiring."

Indeed.

"Our dream," they say, "is that schools will use this list to help them make their own for summer reading, or even better, suggest that students just read what they want from this list."
