A few notes
As you may recall, the past few years we have required that nominated titles win an award or were recognized by appearing on a selected reading list.  We would like to keep with that trend, so consider awards and notable lists in making your suggestions.

Also in that spirit, consider titles you have either read and highly recommend yourself or have heard/read a strongly positive review from a friend or trusted source.

Remember that all books must be published for a teen audience unless it's won an Alex Award, given to adult books with strong appeal to teens.  If you're not sure, suggest a title and Robin will double check.
