Teen Tuesday – Read Your Way Across the USA!

Teens!  Take a look at this cool map from the Epic Reads blog that lists 50 YA authors and their books, one for each state.  Thanks to our branch manager, Ann LaGumina, for bringing this to our attention.

Who’s our featured author for Nevada?  It’s NY Times bestseller, Ellen Hopkins, who resides up north near Reno.  Her first young adult book, Crank, published in 2004, is the highlighted title for the state.  You can learn all about Ellen Hopkins and read reviews of her books on her blog.

So, how many of the titles on the map have you already read?  Two? Ten?  More than that?  Claim bragging rights and post your number in our comments or stop by the YPL Department to let us know by Wednesday, November 21stWin an awesome prize if you’ve read the most!  Good luck!
