Thanks to all who mention PPYA --- I am very proud of our previous lists.
This year I am sub-chair of Religion and am a member of the Humor list.
Don't forget that anyone can nominate a popular paperback title to be
discussed for the list. I would refer you to the YALSA/PPYA web site for the
nomination form.

Vicki, ALA has a list called Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults. They
choose 4 or 5 themes each year, and then they look for great titles
(old and new) that fit the themes. Some past lists have these titles:
Now That's Comedy!
All Kinds of Creepy
Adult Mysteries for Teens
Romance
Humor
They've already put together some really great lists for you.
Go to www.ala.org. Then choose Awards and Scholarships at the top of
the page. Then choose Book/Media Awards. Then scroll down to Popular
Paperbacks for Teens.

As students are coming in to check out fiction titles, they're asking
for recommendations on young adult titles that fall into one or more of
these categories:
funny
romance
sports
scary
mystery
action
I'm wondering which relatively new books (within the past 5 years or
so) we don't have that students would really like. What titles do you
have that you would recommend that students really like? I'll post a hit,
if desired.
Thanks for your help.
