  1. Lots of good books on your list this week. Some of them I think would be great to have taught in schools and they might be as dreaded a book to read as some of the classics are. I love a good classic but being forced to read at 15…not always the best idea when times/language have changed so very much.

    My TTT is here.

  2. I just returned Thousand Words to the library today. Didn’t get to read it in time 🙁 I hope to get it again soon though! And I really want to read The Program. Hate List sounds scary (school shootings always are)!

  3. There are so many books on this list that I want/need to read! You’ve definitely included a lot of books that touch on important topics: sexual assault, hate crimes, suicide, etc.

    Great list! Thanks for stopping by my TTT post earlier! Have a great day 🙂

    • I tried to hit as many important teen issues as I could. You should definitely read the one you want on this list. They were all fantastic.

      Thanks for the visit.

    • I know right?! It is all about the right book that will get you interested, not the same old boring options that people have been reading for years.

      Thanks for visiting.

  4. Yes yes yes to Want To Go Private.
    I want to read Thousand Words, but so many books and so little time. D: I have to read Hat List too!
    Great list & thanks for stopping by my TTT! (:
