AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
Lots and lots of jumping up and down with excitement this morning! And if I’d had internet access at my house last night I would have announced it then! Yesterday the Georgia Center for the Book announced its very first ever list of “25 Books Young Georgians Should Read,” and Pure was one of them!
Other books in the YA category included:
Peaches, by Jodi Lynn Anderson
I Am Rembrandt’s Daughter, by Lynn Cullen
The Maze Runner, by James Dashner
Blood Brothers, by S.A. Harazin
First Shot, by Walter Sorrells
You can see the complete list on Georgia Center for the Book’s website (georgiacenterforthebook.org). There will be a party in Decatur on Saturday the 28th (that’s tomorrow) from 10-12 to celebrate!
I am so thrilled, honored, and actually kind of flabbergasted to be included in this amazing list. Thanks to all of the judges, and thanks to the Georgia Center for the Book!
