As it turns out, Goodreads sponsors a YA week every year. I tend to miss it because it's right when everything is gearing up for school. Life gets hectic and I miss things. This year I managed to catch it. It isn't like there is a festival or anything, but they do put together several interesting lists.
I have a love hate thing going with reading lists. They can be a great way to find new literature and authors. In fact, I've found some amazing reads through lists of one sort or another. As a downside though, I tend to be a completionist. I always want to complete things whether it is a feasible goal or not. With books that can be a problem. Appreciating a book can come down to many factors. There are many books that I've had to start several times before getting a successful read going. They were good books too, I just had to be ready for them.
When it comes to YA, it isn't just about my personal reading. It's about my students, so the lists are helpful.
I just have to resist start a new completion project
