This week’s topic is Top Ten Best/Worst Series Enders, but I took a little different take on this one seeing as so many of my students are reading series books in my classroom right now. (Some are extra popular because we were lucky enough to get ARCs of sequels, so students could go right to the next book, which is always a good thing for holding their interest.)

Teens will vote August through September, and then during Teen Read Week in October, the final list of the 10 most popular books voted on by teens will be announced.  I’ve always thought this was a great list to share with my students, and to see how many I’ve read/listed as my favorites also. I’ve only read 8 of the 25 nominated books – I’d better get going!
