I've read a few of those like Eclipse and stuff,also the Libba Bray books!. I wonder why they're on there when they were published!.!.!.!.

One very popular trend is vampires and dark fantasy -- both are popular enough that we used it to guide this year's [Teen Reading Week] theme, Books with Bite @ your library! The Twilight series, about an ordinary teen girl who enters into an extraordinary romance with a vampire, is probably the best known example of dark fantasy books aimed at teens, but there are plenty of others: the Hallowmere series, Feed by MT Anderson, Melissa de la Cruz's series The Blue Bloods, the Modern Faerie series or Wicked Lovely!.
Young adult literature also often mirrors adult publishing trends!. So, when chick lit became a popular adult genre, it also became a popular young adult genre -- the Gossip Girl series and The Clique series!.

Series books continue to be very popular; often a novel comes out with two books to follow it already planned!. Teens seem to like blended genres as well: historical and fantasy, for example (such as the Twilight series or Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle trilogy, which ended last December with The Sweet Far Thing)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Twilight is an amazing book, I wonder why people hate it!. I'm not sure about 2008 but the Guardians of Time trilogy is ahh-mazing and the book thief!. Oh, and also Endymion Spring!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's different depending on where you live!. In Australia we have the Children's Book Council awards and the UK has some 'Smarties Prize' book awards!.

And if anyone says Twilight, a thumbs down is coming your way!Www@QuestionHome@Com
