Checkout these titles recommended by teens! Every year, the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) presents an award, the Teens' Top Ten (TTT), that is decided by teens. It allows teens (13 through 19) throughout America to vote on their favorite books, based on a list of nominees (that are also recommended by teens from across the nation). Below, you'll find the list of all the TTT 2020 Nominees, plus, I've added an asterisk (*) to show you which titles have won in 2020's vote! There are also direct links to any titles that Coeur d'Alene Public Library has access to (in both physical and digital format). Voting takes place in mid-August, so make sure that you've read some of these by then, so you can make an informed decision.
