Divergent is the only book from your list that I read – and I loved it too.
Fangirl. I really want to read Fangirl, having just read Attachments this weekend.
Here are my thoughts on the Best Required Reading!
It’s so good! In fact I loved it so much I even pre-ordered it so I can have my own copy since it was an eGalley. Thanks for visiting.
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.
Something like normal is so, so good and a great addition to a list like this!
I. Cannot. Believe. I. Forgot. Something Like Normal! PTSD is something all students should know about! Great list!
Thanks for stopping by My TTT
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)!
My TTT
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.
Great list! If I had tried Divergent in school, I think I would have been reading a lot sooner 🙂
Great list!
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.
I had Fangirl on my list, too. A great book for introverts to read.

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! (:
[…] to add: After visiting AndiABC’s TTT I thought that one of her books, would also work well here as well. That is The Program by Suzanne […]
