Thanks to those who voted in our first poll! The results are in, and a quarter of you voters want the Hunger Games series to be the first popular series that we review. Esther Archer is working on that review right now. We also have reviews of four of the other series from the poll (Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and The Mortal Instruments) in the works. Don't forget to let us know if there are other YA books or series you'd like to see reviewed on this page.

We now have a new poll up on the left side of the page. After you vote, we'd like to get some feedback from you in the comments section on this post. Specifically: If your child has a reading list issued by his or her school, what are some of the books on it? What do you think of the list? Are there any books on it that you'd like us to review? And if you homeschool, did you still get a list from somewhere (the school system, the library, etc.)? If you don't have a list, are you going to give your child certain books to read this summer?
