The Young Adult Library Services Association (
YALSA) announced the 2010 Teens' Top Ten winners yesterday; nominated and selected by teens from libraries across the
country : "More than 8,000 teens voted in the 2010 Teens' Top Ten, with
Catching Fire by
Suzanne Collins topping the list. Teens' Top Ten is a "teen choice" list, where teens nominate and choose
their favorite books of the previous year (published in 2009). (Nominators are members of
teen book groups in fifteen school and public libraries around the
country.) Nominations are then posted (online) on Support Teen Literature Day during
National Library Week (in April), and teens across the country (read and) vote on their
favorite titles (from May to September) each year." The 2010 winning titles listed below are linked to the library catalog to make it easy to find and request these books.
