Teen Literature Book Club

Welcome to the Alamosa Books

where we introduce you
to the best new writing for teens.

The Teen Literature Book Club is open to readers of all ages. We meet on the fourth Monday of the month for group discussion. We select books two months in advance, and we post discussion questions on this page at the beginning of the month. We also make every effort to get the book's author to answer these questions for a unique insight into the writing process. This club is a great way for parents, educators, librarians — even authors — to stay current with literature written for teens.

The Book Club selections for January are...

Take Me There
by Carolee Dean
&
Graffiti Moon
by Cath Crowley

Next Meeting:

Monday, January 28, at 7 pm.

Discussion Questions

Discussion questions will be posted on January 1.

Carolee's first novel, Comfort, won numerous awards and is a favorite for local high school reading curricula. Carolee lives with her family here in Albuquerque. And for that Alamosa Books is immensely thankful!
