January Teen Reads

The January Teen Scene email newsletter has a bunch of great titles to keep you reading the winter away! Several new books on the list caught my attention, including Goth Girl Rising by Barry Lyga and Everwild by Neal Schusterman (two of my favorite authors). I hadn't heard of Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick before getting the email, but it's a paranormal romance that looks like a good read.

The newsletter also had a list of books with memorable first lines, including everything from the humorous Absolutely, Positively Not by David LaRochelle to the science fiction adventure of The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness. My all-time favorite first line was not on this list, but it's from Feed by M. T. Anderson: "'We went to the moon to have fun, but the moon turned out to completely suck."
