#ARCParty: A Look at Some January 2018 #YALit Titles

#ARCParty: A Look at Some January 2018 #YALit Titles// tltbutton7 The Teen, The Bestie and I met recently to take a look at some upcoming YA Lit releases. This time we looked specifically at January 2018 releases (yes, it's time to look at 2018 titles already, I know! Where did the year go.) For new readers, here's how this works: The teens take turn reading the cover copy out loud and then they decide which ones they are going to read and review and which ones they pass on. They were both particularly interested in As You Wish, The Hazel Wood and Truly Devious this round.

  9. Love this cover! Two teens take a one week break and Chris vanishes. The police thinks he has run away, but Jessie doesn't believe it. Chris is a black kid who has been harassed and bullied, and Jessie starts to tell his story. This is a story about racism in an industrial small town. Sounds heartbreaking. #ARCParty
