I removed a bunch of books that were published before 2008 - only books published during 2008, by writers living in the US, are eligible!
So far I've only read Savvy by Ingrid Law, but it was amazing and definitely gets my vote! I am hoping to read at least 4 more of the books mentioned on this list in the next week or so.
