It's the beginning of December, and if you're like me, you're trying to figure out last-minute gifts. When my kids were growing up, I would always have a pile of books next to their stockings. The entire time I've been raising my kids, I've been trying to instill a love of books in them. One way I did that was to get them lots of books each Christmas. It was just easier to put a big pile of books next to their stocking rather than wrap them all up.
So, I thought today that I would share some of the books that I have read this year because if I left it open to all of the books that I've read in the youth or young adult section, it would just take too long. I added a couple of classics in, too. I've been reading some young adult books with my students this year that have really stood out for me. I want to share those with you to give you some ideas for books that you wouldn't think of reading because most of these are books I didn't read with my own kids. Enjoy!
