Welcome!

Hi there! I'm just starting this blog to spread the word about how great Young Adult/Teen books are. Of course this blog is not limited to YA books and I welcome any comments or suggestions on all mind-shattering and just plain fun books.

I've been working on a Young Adult booklist for GBTLQ (Gay, bi, trans, lesbian, and questioning) and came across this article from the SLJ:

It has some good suggestions and remember you don't have to be GBTLQ to appreciate these books.

It's always good to hear from teens to see what they like to read.  Follow the link to a School Library Journal teen review article: http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/slj/newsletters/newsletterbucketsljteen/894695-444/book_reviews_for_young_adults.html.csp



Read along with me and let me know what you think!  I just got a copy of Veronica Roth's coveted book, Divergent, a dystopian Hunger Games readalike.  Can't wait to crack the spine!  My review will follow :)
