There are lots of ways to show your love for Young Adult novels, and I'd like to show my support by recommending some great YA-related blogs. These are blogs I discovered recently, and also blogs I've been visiting for the past year or two:
- YA Fresh (interviews, book gossip, giveaways and chats run by two YA authors)
- Elevensies (a place to discover and support authors whose YA or MG debuts are happening THIS YEAR, MAYBE EVEN RIGHT THIS MINUTE!)
- Apocalypsies (an introduction to authors whose YA or MG debut books will be released in late 2011 through early 2013, wooooooooo!)
- Dear Teen Me (showcases truly amazing - and brave - high school photos, and poignant, heartfelt, sometimes humorous letters from YA authors to their teen selves)
- Undercover Book Lover (book reviews, author interviews, and character interviews -- fun! Also a cute new weekly category of posts, A Match Made in (YA) Fiction, "which features a couple where the girl and the guy are from different young adult books.")
- YA Books Central (hundreds of archives from 2005- the present, featuring 12 different contributors, including a teenage reviewer)
- Book Chic Club (YA reviews from a 24-year-old male; great to see a new and different perspective!)
*Thanks for the scoop, Mom :)
Great collection of links! Today's also Readergirlz's "Rock the Drop" in honor of the day, as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristen! Did you participate in the Drop? I wanted to, but I couldn't part with any of the YA books on my shelf, some of which I haven't had the chance to read yet. I should've planned ahead.
