Library Lady Hylary's Best Books of 2011

Now that 2011 is coming to a close, it's time to look back at all of the wonderful novels for tweens and teens that have been published this year! Although I certainly have only made a small dent in reading what is available in young adult literature, I've compiled a list of my favorites this year in various categories. Please visit the various links to see the reviews of each title! Enjoy!
