  2. At my library we thought it was interesting that this year's list was so fantasy/paranormal heavy. Last year was a bit more balanced with contemporary. It's a great list, don't get me wrong - it's just interesting to see the swing.

  3. Heather- I agree!

    Megan- That's such a great point. Last year did have more of a mix. I agree with you, not this year's list isn't great, but there's a lot more fantasy/paranormal. Next year it wouldn't surprise me if there were a lot more dystopians listed.

  5. The Lost Gate is a major failure as literature, as good writing, or even as a story. Why is it on this list? There are a dozen books that would be better for YA reading.
