Welcome to my blog. I mostly blog about books and my writing, but on occasion I like to rant.

A Study of YA Books (Novice)

A lot of writing help and publishing guides suggest reading books that are related to in the genre I want to publish in. I'm not entirely entirely sure on why that advice is given, but I'm fairly new to writing to the YA genre. At any rate I might be in for some interesting and hair pulling reading experiences.

I don't think I should put down my favorite YA that are my all time favorites because that's what got me into writing. So it's going to books I dislike or books I've never read before. I'm listening them in no particular order as I find them.
