This week is the ALA’s 2009 Teen Read Week, which encourages teens to read just for the fun of it! After all, with a library card — reading is fun AND free entertainment! And we here at Novel Novice Twilight are all about encouraging reading.
This year’s theme is “Read Beyond Reality” … you can see a few of my suggested reads at Portland Books Examiner:
- Dune by Frank Herbert
- The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare
- His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman
- Dangerous Angels by Francesca Lia Block
- Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse by Kaleb Nation (a new release)
- Generation Dead by Daniel Waters
- Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld
- A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
- The Thursday Next books by Jasper Fforde
- The Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson
Also check out more suggestions on NNT’s Reading Recommendations and our If You Like Twilight pages.
