Remember last June when STACKED hosted a week-long celebration of all things contemporary young adult lit? We got such great feedback, especially about the book lists, that it was impossible to ignore an opportunity to continue advocating for this genre.
If you hop out of your feed reader (or if you’re on our site already) scroll down the right side bar. There’s now a box for contemporary ya lit, including a link to a rough database we’re building. It’s our hope readers looking for a certain type of contemporary read can use this to find good reads, fill holes in their personal/library/school collections, and discover how vast the genre is.
It’s our hope to highlight both current reads and back list titles and as reviews post on our blog, we’ll update with links to them.
Happy reading!
Very cool project! I can tell this will be useful- I'm definitely going to use it in my reader's advisory work. Thank you for sharing!
Yay, Me and Earl is on your list! I loved it!
Also, thanks for building this list. No thanks because I need more time to read everything.
Finished it last night! I wouldn't have touched it if it weren't for your cover post.
And you're welcome. On both counts!
