Trend Watch 2014

August 5, 2014 by Karen Jensen, MLS   Leave a Comment

It’s time, one again, my friends for another edition of Trend Watch.

I like to create a RA poster for my teen area. Don’t worry, I share. But I need your help. What trends have you been noticing this year in YA lit? Share with me your favorite trends and a couple of examples of titles and later, I’ll share with you my poster.

Here are a few that have been suggested on Twitter:

@TLT16 Aliens-Fifth Wave; Alienated; Opposition; These Broken Stars #yalittrends

@TLT16 Audrey Hepburn rules–Oh, Yeah Audrey; Being Audrey Hepburn. **My own YA–No More Goddesses has AH too. #yalittrends
— Kim Baccellia (@ixtumea) August 5, 2014

@TLT16 I think a jinn trend. The Fire Wish by @amberlough. Becoming Jinn by @loriagoldstein comes out in ’15.
