I am on a mailing list from Teenreads.com. (If you love teen books, you should get on their mailing list.) Teenreads.com has helped with choosing the finalists for Book Reporter‘s 6th Annual Children’s & Teen Choice Book Awards. You can help choose the finalists by voting at http://www.bookweekonline.com/voting/7-12. There are 5 books and 5 authors. You can choose a favorite illustrator but those are for children’s books but it may bring back good memories to you.

If you click on the Voting Home box on the top of the page it will bring you back to the main page of grade level choices. If you read to your little brothers, sisters or cousins, you might want to vote in those finalist sections.

Voting ends on May 9th and the winners will be announced on May 13th. For more information about the CCBA’s, check this page out http://www.bookweekonline.com/about-CCBAs.

Here are the covers for the books on the ballot:

If you haven’t read these books, they are definitely worth reading.

May your favorite book win….
