I just purchased a whole bunch of new Dessen books, and am hoping to read them soon! I’ve already mentioned doing a review, but I will think about other participation as well!!
Kate
I am ashamed to say that I also have not read any of her books. Any suggestions of where to start?
Alex (A Girl, Books, OtherThings)
YAY!
I’ll save the date!
I had been planning on reviewing some of her books that I haven’t reviewed yet in my blog (This Lullaby, Dreamland and Just Listen) so I might just do something around that and try to drag a friend or two into it!

I have I think FOUR Sarah Dessen books sitting on my TBR pile in my apartment, and I haven’t read any of them! This will be a good kick in the pants, I think.
Two Readers Reviews
I am so very excited about this and already have a few ideas in mind! Woohoo! 🙂
YA Bibliophile
@Kate Just Listen is my favorite. The Truth about Forever and Along for the RIde are both student favorites. I’ve never read one I haven’t liked and I’ve read them all (multiple times!)
Erin
A whole week devoted to Sarah Dessen and her awesome books? Yes please! Thanks for doing this…I’m looking forward to it!
Shannon the BookStalker
Okay I admit it, I’ve never read a single Sarah Dessen book. I might have to sign up for this one! ;D
Jordyn
I absolutely LOVE Dessen. This sounds awesome; count me in.
Erika
Well, this is amazing timing. After I read my next YA buy, I was planning on buying my first Sarah Dessen book – The Truth About Forever! That’ll be just about the right time for the review 🙂 I’ll see if I can post something else too.
The Story Queen
This sounds great! I just put a book that I haven’t read in a few years, LOCK AND KEY, on hold so I shall review that and hopefully do some other fun stuff too 🙂 Fantastic idea!

Sarah Dessen has always been my favorite YA author. I’m so excited for her new book and I think Sarah Dessen Week is a wonderful idea =)
My name is Patricia
What a great idea! I have only read one of her books and loved it! But this will make me read more so I can have more to discuss. Thank you so much for this!! I can’t wait!!
<3 Happy Reading

Right on! Just Listen is one of my favorites too. Lock and Key is my favorite. Really loved Along for the Ride. Well now, I could go on and on, lol! Thanks for organizing this.

I just checked out a couple of Sarah Dessen books from the library, I got Along For The Ride and Just Listen. So, I’ll definitely be reading those and posting my reviews, plus I was thinking about posting little book blurbs for a few of her other books. I’m really excited about this, because it will be my first time to read a Sarah Dessen book and I’ve heard so many great things a bout her. 🙂
