TTT: YA books I want to read this fall in prep for YMA

Top Ten Tuesday: YA books I still want to read this fall before the YMA in January.

(If you have read any of these titles, please let me know what you thought of it.)

1. Landscape with Invisible Hand

by M.T. Anderson

(Five starred reviews; amazing author, Sci-Fi; 

likely the first on the list I will get to since I just bought a copy on Audible)

2. A Face Like Glass

by Frances Hardinge

(Another five starred review book; this author is always winning awards in UK. 

Will this be the year she wins one in the US?)

3. Long Way Down 

by Jason Reynolds

(This book has five starred reviews and it won't be published until mid-October; 

it is about the effects of pulling the trigger on a gun and is written in free verse.)

4. Genuine Fraud

by E. Lockhart

(With four starred reviews this psychological thriller is calling my name.)

5. They Both Die At the End

by Adam Silvera

(Another four starred review book. Silvera is on a roll. This is his second YA publish in 2017.)

6. You Bring the Distant Near

by Mitali Perkins

(An immigrant's story. This one has already earned four starred reviews.)

7. The 57 Bus

by Dashka Slater

(A true story about two teens who got together because of a crime. 

This will be published in October and has eared three starred reviews so far.)

8. Borne

by Jeff VanderMeer

(This is the book I am most excited about on my whole list. One reviewer said this, "A dystopia novel written with impeccable weirdness." I can't tell from my records if it has three or four starred reviews, either way, this book has been getting a lot of national press and I look forward to reading it. Oh, guess what, I just figured out that this book isn't a YA title. I still want to read it, but not for the YMA books.)

9. Spinning

by Tillie Walden

(A graphic memoir about a dancer who also has to come to terms with her sexuality. So far it has earned three starred reviews.)

10. Wild Beauty

by Anna-Marie McLemore

(This three starred review book is set to come out in October and is filled with magical realism. I loved her last book, When the Moon Was Ours.)

((The publications which review YA books and award starred reviews for their favorites are: Booklist, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Horn Book, Kirkus Reviews, Publisher's Weekly, School Library Journal, and VOYA.))

***So far the only book I know of which has earned the complete seven starred reviews this year is The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. It is not on my list because I've already read it.
