ECLIPSE WINS #1 ON YALSA’S “TEENS TOP TEN” LIST!
So we first told you back in September that Eclipse was nominated for the Young Adult Library Services Association’s (YALSA) “2008 Teens’ Top Ten” list, and then just the other day we told you that voting was going on, and now we have even better news! More than 8,000 teens voted and Eclipse has landed the top spot on the 2008 list!
Here is the final 2008 Teens’ Top Ten list:
1. Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling
3. Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney
4. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
5. Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports by James Patterson
6. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
7. The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray
8. Extras by Scott Westerfeld
9. Before I Die by Jenny Downham
10. Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson
Congratulations to Eclipse and Stephenie Meyer! I think the win is very much deserved, although I did love Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows also. Twilight won 2nd place in 2006, New Moon won 1st in 2007, and now Eclipse is rounding things out by winning 1st again this year. I wonder if there’s hope for Breaking Dawn to win next year?
What do you think? Did Eclipse deserve the top spot? And what about Breaking Dawn – do you think there’s a chance it will win rank high next year?
