"I don't know how to find a book I'd like."
Rest assured, this is a common issue that even adults experience. Here are a few tools that might help you find books that align with your reading preferences.
Log in to this public library resource with your student ID. Select Teen then choose between fiction and nonfiction then narrow down by genre.
Choose a year then select up to two categories at once to narrow down results. For example, 2023 Young Adult + Realistic Fiction
Brightly curates lists of books for all types of readers. You can search by genre but I recommend checking out some of the articles as well.
Browse lists, add friends, get involved in a reading community and before you know it you will have more books you want to read than you can ever get through. It's a good problem!
New York Times Bestsellers List
What's hot right now in bookstores? The New York Times bestseller list tracks that data for you.
Believe it or not, I get a lot of great book recommendations from #booktok on TikTok!
While I prefer the New York Times bestseller list, the Amazon list (Amazon sales only) can also be useful.
There are plenty of content creators sharing recommendations and reviews. I've linked to Upper Case YA, one of my favorites.
