Every year, the New York Public Library puts out a list called BOOKS FOR THE TEEN AGE. The published product is really cool and worth seeking out (they send a copy to every library in the country).
To quote the NYPL: “This list, now in its 79th year of publication, selects the best of the previous year’s publishing for teenagers, ages 12 to 18. All the titles chosen have been read and reviewed by young adult librarians and recommended for this special publication. This year's edition features spicy teen book reviews, snappy author interviews with questions submitted by teens, and of course, cover art by a local teen inspired by technology of the moment."
We are so excited that THREE members of Teen Fiction Cafe made this prestigious list:
Liza Conrad (Erica Orloff) with The Poker Diaries
Melissa Walker with Violet on the Runway
Sara Hantz with The Second Virginity of Suzy Green
Melissa even got to go to the ceremony and take pictures (you know, so you'll feel like you were there):
Crowds at the entrance--must be BOOKS FOR THE TEEN AGE!
How lucky am I (second from right) that I got to hang out with amazing authors
Melissa and Sara's books were both in the "Chick Lit" category. Melissa feels so lame for not getting a photo of Erica (Liza)'s fantastic book. My bad!
Big thanks to the awesome Jack Martin and the gracious Sandra Payne for putting on a fantastic event with celebratory remarks by Robert Lipsyte, who is totally smart and knows a lot about why boys should read.
Hug more librarians!
The End.
