A list of all the books I've read as a member of the 2013 BFYA committee.
I can't post reviews until my time on the committee is ended in February 2014 but I'm happy to
discuss the book with visitors to the library. Student opinions are encouraged and
will be taken into consideration when building the final list.
Current nominations to the Best Fiction list are italicized.
