What is it?
There are book blogs everywhere. But not so many that just do "young adult". Adolescent Lit is one of the most entertaining, under-appreciated but promising, growing genres out there. A lot of new stuff is coming out and I am reading it.
I am NOT a professional writer. I am NOT a professional reviewer. I am NOT a professional anything in relation to books or publishing or whatever.
I am a reader.
Let me know what you think.

Books can be dangerous. The best ones should be labeled "This could change your life." ~Helen Exley
Kids Need to Read
Click on it. You know you want to.
Reading
I want to write. What reader doesn't? I want to write like Carrie Ryan, Lois Lowry, Suzanne Collins, Alice Hoffman, Jodi Picoult, JK Rowling, Jeaniene Frost, and Ilona Andrews.
"You may have tangible wealth untold; caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I you can never be. I had a mother who read to me." --Strickland Gillian
The things I have learned and remembered have come from novels, before a textbook. You will be amazed what you can learn from reading something fun.
Ye Olde Disclamer
I have no interest in reading "Good Literature". I want to lose myself in a book. Books are judged on how much I enjoyed them. I make no guarantees. Make your own choices, and read at your own risk.
Urban Fantasy and Science Fiction are my preferred lit of choice at this time. ;)
My books come from Amazon.com, unless otherwise indicated.
