Welcome to our 98th Road Trip Wednesday!
Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.
We'd love for you to participate! Just answer the prompt on your own blog and leave a link -- or, if you prefer, you can include your answer in the comments.

I read the Hunger Games Series. I liked it. Though I'm pretty sure not as much as most people...
ReplyDeleteI managed to choose a favorite for the month, but I had to give a nod to the runner up:

ReplyDeleteSorry, Erin! I was logged in for R4R!!
This was a no brainer: http://bit.ly/nUY5fW
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is probably the same as a lot of other people's favorite, but it's too awesome to ignore!

ReplyDeleteI'm really sad because this is probably the last month for awhile I'll have a lot of books to choose from for this post...
ReplyDeletehttp://ohthevoices.blogspot.com/2011/09/road-trip-wednesday-best-books-of.html
It was hard to choose. I've read a few great books this month!

I read an awesome Holocaust memoir.

Hey, where'd my comment and link go? I thought I put it up this morning before I left . . . I wonder if I had another comment window open and somewhere there's a puzzled blogger wondering why I posted that!
ReplyDeleteWell, here's mine, and I also did a post for Banned Books week on Monday.
http://angelicarjackson.blogspot.com/
STOLEN by Lucy Christopher, hands down! Here's why: http://colleenclayton.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/rtw-best-book-i-read-in-september/
ReplyDeleteI couldn't pick one--so the list of four is on my blog at the link below. Several of these are ones I had been meaning to read for months and finally got around to and loved.
ReplyDelete(P.S. I'm a teacher trying to get into blogging with my students. If your blog is focused on YA lit leave a comment, so that I can add you to my blog roll and share with my students!)

I only managed to read two books this month (and one of them was a reread) but it was still a good month for books.
ReplyDeletehttp://writerschasm.blogspot.com/2011/09/rtw-best-book-in-september.html
My favorite read this September was a surprising novel called Berlin Boxing Club. Check my review here: Teacher.Mother.Reader
