2019 Book Rave (color brochure)
2019 Book Rave (black & white brochure)
The books on this list were published between November 1, 2017, and October 31, 2018. Titles were nominated by teens and library staff in Oregon. OYAN members voted to select the 20 titles on the list and worked to create a balanced list that includes a variety of genres and diverse titles. Learn more about the annual Book Rave and access past lists on the OYAN website.
Book Rave is an annual list produced by the members of the Oregon Young Adult Network and announced at the Oregon Library Association’s annual conference in April. Books nominated should be written and marketed for readers of middle and high school age (generally 6th-12th grade) and be published between November 1, 2017 and October 31, 2018.
Nominations will be collected until early December 2018. Members will then be invited to vote on the nominated books through mid-January 2019, narrowing the list to approximately 20 OYAN Book Rave selections. The list is further discussed at the winter meeting of the Oregon Young Adult Network.
Please nominate early and often!

Whether or not you were able to join us in Eugene for OLA, you can now view the slides for most presentations on Northwest Central. Of particular interest to OYAN members:
Mark your calendars: the 2019 OLA-WLA Conference will be held at the Hilton Vancouver in Vancouver, WA from April 17-20, 2019!
Every year, OYAN members choose their favorite novels for teens from the past two years. Nominations depend upon what the nominator thinks teens in Oregon will like to read or have been reading with enthusiasm, and the final list is created based on a vote of the OYAN membership. (For details, see the official selection process.)
The votes have been counted; here are this year’s winners!
The 2015 Book Raves have are here!
The OYAN Book Rave is an annual list of recommended young adult literature selected by the members. Nominations are solicited throughout the year, with a final electronic vote occurring around the winter membership meeting. Titles are chosen to represent a variety of genres and reading levels that have been published between November 1, 2013 to October 31, 2014.

It’s time to vote for your favorite (and not-so favorite) teen books of 2012. Below is the link to the Survey Monkey voting page. Once again, we are including a “no” vote. If you feel strongly that a certain nominated book does not deserve to be a part of the Book Rave, please vote no. I’ll subtract no votes from the yes votes to get a total. As you might have guessed, if you like a title, vote yes. Survey Monkey uses IP addresses to remember votes; you’ll be able to add votes as you keep reading nominated titles, as well as see how you’ve already voted (assuming you always vote from the same computer).
You can vote until January 15th. Be prepared to discuss, debate, and shimmy the results at the Winter Membership meeting on Friday January 18, 11am-3pm, at Salem Public Library. Please vote for at least one non-fiction title!

I’ve attached the nominations spreadsheet if you want to review the titles and their tags. Also, here is a link to the OYAN blog for refreshers on book covers and summaries.
