One of my favourite blogs for keeping up with YA fiction is
Reading Rants! Out of the Ordinary Teen Booklists! What makes this blog awesome are the booklists. Every single review gets added to at least one of the booklists, which cover everything from Boy Meets Book to Word Up! (poetry). There are annual top ten lists as well. The reviews are written for teens, but Jen knows it's not just teens who read her reviews. She's got a long list of book review blogs for teens, and an even longer list of kid & YA book review blogs for adults. The newest reviews are all recently released or coming soon titles, but Reading Rants! has been around for over ten years, so there are plenty of older titles here.
Jen Hubert Swan, the author of the site, is a middle school librarian who also reviews books for Booklist and Kirkus. She has a book out called
Reading Rants: A Guide to Books That Rock!
Unlike her blog, the book includes suggested audience, read-alikes, and other things of interest to library folk.
Nevermind the teens, this website rocks for adults too! Now if only I had time to sit down and read...
