Why arent there more Spanish titles available on the TBA list?
There arent more Spanish titles for the simple fact that there are a limited number of Spanish titles that meet the criteria set for books eligible for the TBA Master List. At present, most books published as dual language editions are geared towards a younger audience than the one represented by TBA. Separate Spanish language editions of books for older readers are frequently released several years after publication, making the original book ineligible for consideration. Members of the TBA committee and other interested parties seek out eligible titles but hold those works to the same criteria as other titles. To suggest titles for TBA master list consideration, please fill out a suggestion form aavailable on the TBA website or email Beth Thames, the TBA Coordinator, at carolynbeth@gmail.com.
