Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. The feature was created because The Broke and Bookish are particularly fond of lists (as are we!). Each week a new Top Ten list topic is given and bloggers can participate.

Which books that were honored in the ALA Youth Media Awards caught your eye?

Bone Gap is the one that I really would like to get to, I’ve read good things about it. I did read Fish in a Tree and Echo, both are really good. my TTT
Great lists! Fish in a Tree was very good. I didn’t LOVE Bone Gap – it was good but the mystical twist sort of took me by surprise.
Echo is amazing on audio, as it is all about music – I highly recommend you listen to it – the accompanying music is integrated into the story and really enhances it.
I would love to read Winnie!
