I've loved SO MANY books this year! Here are some of my YA favorites.

Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein (of course!!) This one will go down as one of my all- time favorite books. The Fault in our Stars by John Green Ask the Passengers by A.S. King My Book of Life by Angel , by Martine Leavitt (amazing that such a heartbre aking book can be so hopeful!) Raven Boys by Mattie Stiefvater Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers (you just can't beat assassins trained by nu ns!!) The Book of Jonas by Stephen Dau (adult book, but FABULOUS teen appeal. Th is will go down as another all time fav) Froi of the Exiles by Melina Marchetta (yikes can that woman write!!) Scarlet by A. C. Gaughen (a Robin Hood tale with a twist!) Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Saenz Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi The Diviners by Libba Bray ( I seem to love everything she writes!!) Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt (another adult book featuring a young teen character. Wonderful!)

No time to rhapsodize over these titles, but wanted to send them out to the list.
