"If You Build It, They Will Read!"
A personalized TBR list for teens

Welcome!

Created for the "If You Build It, They Will Read!" Assignment for INFO 265, this blog is designed for teens to find their next favorite thing. My goal for curating this collection of 35 outstanding, contemporary items for Young Adults is twofold: firstly, to cultivate an inclusive collection that allows readers to see themselves in the characters and creators of these materials, and secondly, for readers to challenge their preconceived notions of the world and perhaps find themselves in a character or story they would not normally gravitate to. Most of all, I want every teen who comes to this page to feel welcome and seen.

​

Throughout a wide variety of books, videogames, audiobooks, graphic novels, manga, TV shows, and movies, teens are consuming narratives in all forms. Regardless of the genre or format, it has become apparent that teens are both looking to escape their day-to-day lives through the power of storytelling, as well as find grounding in stories that assure them everything will be okay.
