We're walking and feeding ourselves now, what a milestone!
Before working in a teen library, I had not picked up a book written for teens in years. Even when I was a teen, I usually chose adult books (being the precocious jerk I was). I now read teen literature almost exclusively. Though I miss grown-up books sometimes, the teen books I have read unexpectedly turned out to be some of the greatest pages I have had the pleasure of turning. I will adapt this post for the Teen Library blog, as well as for the birthday party on Monday. Reply with the top ten books from The Teen Library you have read since October 2008.
