Okay, I cheated this time and put up winning books from the recent awards & honors up. OF MY CHOOSING. Sorry to get all non-democratic on you all, but Susan suggested it, and I do all that she suggests.

Um, we may have a problem getting these, as many are on backorder at Amazon and I can guess what that means at libraries and bookstores.
I'm looking at the Horn Book's Recently Announced Awards page. Suggestions?
We could choose a book from the less-publicized awards...I think the Newbery Award and Honor books will be v. hard to get.
Potentials:
+ Surrender by Sonya Hartnett (Meera, did you read this one already?) -PRINTZ HONOR
+ American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang (I just read this tonight, as it came in on hold at the library, and would love to discuss) -PRINTZ WINNER
+ Copper Sun by Shannon Draper -CORETTA SCOTT KING WINNER
+ The Last Dragon by Silvana de Mari -BATCHELDER (TRANSLATION) HONOR
Do tell!

I would love to read American Born Chinese! And no, I haven't read that Sonya Hartnett book yet.
I'm also interested in reading one of the Alex Award books for adult titles that "appeal" to teens. "The Book of Lost Things," maybe?
I was totally lusting over The Book of Lost Things but didn't know if you guys would be okay; it isn't technically a YA book.
But now I'm sold.
Poll going up momentarily.
