Vote here. There are some decidedly stellar books on the list of nominees, including The Diviners by Libba Bray, which I want to give a special shout out to because I just finished it a few days ago and I loved, loved, loved it. Smart sassy girl in the 1920s moves to New York City to escape some "unpleasantness" back at home in Ohio and ends up involved in a very creepy murder investigation along with her uncle who is curator of The Museum of American Folklore, Superstition, and the Occult (or as the locals call it "The Museum of Creepy Crawlies"). Evie is the ultimate flapper girl, and I couldn't help but be charmed by her wit, her awesome 20s slang (and how!) and her uncanny ability to step in it more often than not. Sure, there's the requisite romance angle native to all teen lit in existence, but it was pretty secondary to the main plot, which is something I very much appreciated.
Anyone else? Favorite books from this year? I've heard nothing but amazing things about The Fault in Our Stars by John Green from both teens and adults, but I have yet to read it. It's there on my long, long list of Books2Read, though.
Cheers!
