Okay, rgz. We used to run this thread over at the MySpace forum, and it was a great resource! Let's try it here.
Leave your comments and tell us what you are reading. What do you find is a must read this season?

Thanks, Ashley! I caught The Summer I Turned Pretty, too. And Same Difference!
Love Ashley's list!
Just from the past month, I'll add:
"Looks" by Madeleine George
"Liar" by Justine Larbalestier
Ash (haven't read, but it defintely sounds like a must-read!)
Another Faust (I need to read this one too!)
I agree with Melissa on Liar (haven't read Looks) which I'm currently reading.
Oh, Looks was my fav read last year!
Thanks for this very good . I really appreciate this article. Many people will find it very useful.

I just read Heather Davis's NEVER CRY WEREWOLF. So much fun!
Click here for my Best of... picks for every month! I post them at my blog and my website every month and every year.
I really liked Ten Cents a Dance by Christine Fletcher, North of Beautiful by Christina Headley, Greater Gains by K.M. Peyton, Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler. Next week I am leading a discussion of Heaven to Betsy by Maud Hart Lovelace. Anyone in the Boston area is invited to come!
Lorie Ann: We must discuss Girl to the Core and Same Difference. I'm always so happy when you try something I recommended to ya! :)
I am not a YA, but am a firm believer that excellent YA lit is enjoyable by old people as well. I highly recommend "Choke Creek" by Lauren Small. It is an excellently written novel about a teenage girl in Denver during the Vietnam war and a tale about how the past influences the present.
