2012 Top Ten Amazing Audiobooks for Young Adults
This is a great list to utilize for the YA readers who also like to hear books. Additionally, it could be an avenue to get reluctant readers interested. Maybe a helpful list for school downloads too. Personally, I love the listen to books while I'm traveling. Maybe over the summer these titles could be offered to kids in transit!
This is the YALSA list for their 2012 choices for audiobooks:
Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me? by Louise Rennison, read by Stina Nielson. Recorded Books, 2010.
Beauty Queens by Libba Bray, read by Libba Bray. Scholastic Audio, 2011.
Carter’s Big Break by Brent Crawford, read by Nick Podehl. Brilliance Audio, 2011.
Chime by Franny Billingsley, read by Susan Duerden. Listening Library, 2011.
Curse of the Wendigo by Rick Yancey, read by Steven Boyer. Recorded Books, 2010.
Fever Crumb by Philip Reeve, read by Philip Reeve. Scholastic Audio, 2011.
How They Croaked by Georgia Bragg, read by L.J. Ganser. Recorded Books, 2011.

Check out this event!
This looks like the place to be November 2-4! The YALSA YA
Symposium will be held in St. Louis, and promises to be an event not to be
missed. I would love to attend, and if at all possible, I am going to try for
it! You can try the QR or click on the link for more information directly from the site. (I'm not sure if I got the QR code inserted correctly, but the link works!)

In need of a book? A list of books?
This is one of my favorite lists sources. It started back in 1996, and has grown to about 1000 lists. I don't think there is anything you cannot find here. Check it out! Originally, this began as part of a librarian collaborative project in which librarians could use and contribute to. Apparently, it has been extremely successful and is now a wiki. The original website is still accessible (second link). I use this frequently. If you need a book for a boy, a girl, one about a horse or a toad, then cruise on in. You can find a book on almost any topic in the whole world - ok, maybe that's hyperbolic, but I have never searched for something on here and NOT found it!
