Teenread.com's Best of 2006 List

As I discover them, I will be providing links to other best lists. Today's selection is from teenreads.com.

Here is a brief excerpt from their introduction to the list...

As 2006 comes to a close, we at Teenreads.com have compiled some of our favorite books of the year for teens.
We hope you enjoy our year-end feature and make new discoveries along the way, as you look forward to what lies ahead in 2007.

They then provide a title by title recommendation list divided into two main categories: stand alone titles and series books. Series books are further distinguished by whether they are debut series (first in an upcoming series) or series updates which would include all subsequent sequels. Each title is given a brief description and links are provided to reviews of each book.
