Summary: This is a teen blog run by Barnes & Noble that features best teen books, new released, interviews, to-read lists, hotly anticipated, and guest posts. Blog posts feature book lists, interviews with authors, new releases, and more.

Appeal: really like this blog, partly due to some of the reviews being written by actual young adults. There is a wide variety of types of posts, including reviews, book lists, and more.

Limitation: Despite this being a fun blog to read about YA literature, it is at heart a part of Barnes & Noble. I found myself forgetting this at times, then stumbling across an “Add to Bag” button, and had to remind myself that, despite these reviews seeming 100% sincere, the real purpose of the site is for people to buy the books being reviewed.
