Hello Goodly People of Lit,
I am a voracious reader and I actually read a great deal of young adult novels. I promise there's more to it than sparkly vampires and love triangles.
Some of the best books I read in the last year were YA. Like, The Tragedy Papers by Eric Laban, Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell, and Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick. I enjoy beautifully written, funny stories with heart and authenticity. I can do dystopian, even though it's a tad overdone recently. Call it The Hunger Games syndrome (not to besmirch Ms. Everdeen). Any reading recommendations in the YA vein, please send them my way. Or write if you just want to talk about books you love and authors that inspire you.
And finally, of course, happy new year, internet folk. Hopefully yours doesn't start off too wretchedly hung over.
