 A while back I posted a message asking people to send me their top ten HS
checkouts.  I'm pasting the responses below, as I'm not sure attachments
always come through.  Thanks to everyone who replied.  It was helpful!

Fantasy is big for both boys and girls, but the main difference is that the
boys like the long "high" fantasy books like those of Robert Jordan, Robin
Hobb, R.A. Salvatore.~ I have nearly every book in those author's series and
they are always moving. The girls like the lighter fantasy - the vampires,
faeries, werewolves, zombies, (you know, the usual romantic heroes, HAHA)~so
I have quite a few of those~series (Vampire Academy, Morganville Vampires,
Chronicles of Vladimir Tod - actually more of a middle school book, but high
schoolers, both boys and girls like it -
Blue Bloods series, by De La Cruz, Night World

you may want to check out the OYAN (OLA's teen division) to learn which
books published between November 2009 and December 2010 they are discussing
for their 2011 Book Rave list.~ These recently published teen titles were
all nominated by teen librarians or teens at public libraries to be on the
2011 list.~ Here is the URL:
http://oyanpeeps.wordpress.com/.<http://oyanpeeps.wordpress.com/>~
This will give you a good idea what titles are popular among teens at public
libraries in Oregon.

The 2011 Book Rave list will be finalized and published by April 2011, and
OYAN members will be doing 2 minute reviews on all the titles that make the
list during a session at the OLA conference. They have presented this
session at OASL conferences occasionally in the past. You can look at past
