Despite working at the library and being a lover of books and reading, I often find myself in reading slumps. Nothing sounds good, interesting, or worth my time. That’s when I usually turn to my friends and colleagues for book recommendations – or I take a look at one of our library lists!
If you’re a teen looking for your next favorite read, or an adult interested in dipping your toe in teen literature, TeenHQ definitely has suggestions including a new display wall currently featuring “Fall Reads 2017.” Our guide includes 18 new or highly recommended books to add to your to-be-read list including:
Roar by Cora Carmack

Waste of Space by Gina Damico
Cram ten hormonal teens into a spaceship and blast off: that’s the premise for the ill-conceived reality show Waste of Space. The cast knows everything about drama – and nothing about the fact that the production is fake.
