Teen Read Week begins October 16, but if you get going now, you actual teenagers you, you can read the hot books and then VOTE October 16-22 at the website above to determine the Top Ten of the year.

To see the full list with teenage nominator commentary, you've got to download a PDF file, which doesn't take long. Here are a few that I haven't read or mentioned yet, that look particularly interesting:

Candy, by Kevin Brooks

Talk, by Kathe Koja
Hawkes Harbor, by S.E. Hinton
Mermaid Park, by Beth Myall
How I Live Now, by Meg Rosoff
Sammy and Juliana in Hollywood, by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

Gangsta Rap, by Benjamin Zephaniah

plus one I am currently reading:
The Truth about Forever, by Sarah Dessen

Also nominated are titles by Dorian Cirrone, Cecil Castelluci, Brent Hartinger, John Green, Carolyn Mackler, Marc Acito, and Louise Rennison -- all favorites of mine. So get reading and then vote!
