2023-24 Georgia Peach Books

Each year librarians and teachers select twenty young adult books that they feel are the best of the best. Teens across Georgia read and vote on the selections. Last year's Peach winners where Legendborn by Deonn and Ace of Spades by Abike-Iyimide. Below are the books on this year's list:

The Agathas by Kathleen Glasgow & Liz Lawson

All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir

All That's Left in the World by Erik Brown

The Chandler Legacies by Abdi Nazemian

Confessions of an Alleged Good Girl by Joya Coffney

The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer

The Drowned Woods by Emily Lloyd-Jones

The Heartbreak Bakery by A R Capetta

Hollow Fires by Samira Ahmed

Dr. Drouillard's Donations

For the seventh year, Dr. Colette Drouillard of Valdosta State University, donated thousands of dollars worth of new books for K - 12 students in Decatur County. These books, which include picture books, middle grades, and young adult titles, will be cataloged and added to the collections of the school Media Centers in the county if they have hardback covers and used as prizes and giveaways if they are paperbacks. Dr. Drouillard is an associate professor in the Department of Library and Information Studies at VSU and an alumna of FSU's School of Library and Information Science. In the past seven years, Dr. Drouillard has donated close to fifty thousand dollars worth of new books to Decatur County Schools. 


Librarian Claudia Montague and BHS library staff 

unboxed and organized four book carts of donations

which will be divided among the county Media Centers.
