Have you read any of these books already? Let me know in the comments!
Freakboy was sooo good! I liked Sold too, although “liked” is probably the wrong word for such a terrifying story.
I reaaaaally want to read Audacity!
Freakboy was amazing, I agree! I haven’t read some of these on the list but I really want to read them all haha! Thanks for reading 🙂
I have Freakboy somewhere in my boxes that I hope to unpack one of these days! A Time to Dance I absolutely adored!
[…] Libertad Araceli Thomas talked books with interracial romance in YA and on covers in her guest post for Stacked. Barnes & Noble Teen shared a list of books to read for National Coming Out Day. Shelly at Read, Sleep, Repeat compiled a list of 15 ‘diverse’ YA verse novels. […]
Hi. One that isn’t technically a novel, but I still love it, was Marilyn Nelson’s How I Discovered Poetry. Thanks for the great list. Here is a list I made over at Rich in Color of diverse novels in verse and poetry related books http://richincolor.com/2013/10/piles-of-poetry/ and another that was only novels in verse (there is some overlap with your titles): http://richincolor.com/2014/04/novels-in-verse/
I’m definitely saving this post so I can come back to it easily because I haven’t read ANY of these books. And just from the covers and the title of this post, I know that I’ll probably want to. So thanks for sharing these! 😀
