Dungeons and Dragons has had a resurgence in the last few years, and authors of young adult books have taken notice. D&D features heavily in a number of new books for teens and 'tweens. Kelly Jensen writes for Book Riot, "over the last year or so, there's been a swell of D&D appearing within the pages of young adult literature." And, those books aren't limited to one genre. There are romances, fantasies, realistic fiction and more!

8 Books about Gamers and Gaming

Over at Teen Services Underground, Sereena Hamm brings us an awesome list of YA and early adult books about gamers and gaming.  With the summer CSLP Teen theme being "Get in the Game Read" this list could not be more timely!  While we would traditionally think of this theme as revolving around sports, by incorporating books with subjects like video games, board games, RPGs (role-play games), and MMOGs (massively multiplayer online games), librarians can connect with readers whose interests lie outside the realm of athletics.  Check out the full list HERE.
