Yesterday the ALA released the top 10 list of most frequently challenged books. Lauren Myracle, the author of the “ttyl” YA series, topped the list. Since then, her twitter page has been abuzz with notes of congratulations! (She’s in good company, since the list also includes two Pulitzer Prize winners, a National Book Award winner, a Printz winner and numerous mega-bestsellers.) This year is notable because Stephenie Meyer made the list for the first time.

This is some good material. It took me a while to find this site but it was worth the time. I noticed this page was buried in bing and not the number one spot. This website has a lot of first-rate material and it doesnt deserve to be burried in the search engines like that. By the way I am going to save this web publication to my list of favorites.
