Books You Might Not Hear About bc the YA Rita Was Canceled

Yes, that’s a long title, but unfortunately it’s true. The YA RITA category was canceled due to not making the 5% minimum of the all the entries.

And yet, every year people find some of their favorite new reads by watching that list. I’ve had a few readers ask me who they can email. Unfortunately, that’s just the rules and it is what it is. BUT, wow. Readers. How much do I love readers!

People have been asking me how I feel about this. I’ll be doing a blog about that later. But here, for your viewing pleasure are some books that might have finalled if the category wasn’t canceled.

IF YOU SHOULD BE ON THE LIST, SEND ME YOUR CANCELLATION NOTICE AND BOOK COVER AND I’LL ADD YOU briaquinlan AT aol

I hope everyone has something that catches their eye. New books are like new worlds: You never know where you’re going to find them.

I feel like I should shout VIVA LA YA here.

Check back! I’ll be adding books as people let me know about their cancellations.

AND, if you read and loved one of these books, be sure to share the love in the comments!
