As many of you have probably noticed, I read a lot of YA books! I love the stories and how jam-packed they are of emotion. I love the adventure and the exploration of the world, fantasy or reality, and of their own personal self. I fell in love with YA and never grew out of it and probably never will!
So in support of I Read YA week, whats your favorite YA book(s)?
Here’s some of my favorites! I have a TON more but they’re on my Kindle and iPad.
Happy Reading!!!!

The Hunger Games is YA, right? Why don’t I see those books!?

Haha I do read your blog but I guess not enough! I’m a busy girl (reading books and such) And you should totally get a Mockingjay Pin tattoo! I have mockingjay earrings that I wear way too much and it’s one of the coolest book related symbols I’ve ever seen.
If you liked the Hunger Games, I have tons of books that you would really enjoy then!
LikeLike
Nope. No comments or Likes or anything from you in a million years. Liar. Hahaha
And if you have earrings then you should just take like ten steps up and get a tattoo! Unless you’re like anti-tattoos, then don’t. I’m definitely getting it.
I’m reluctant to take recommendations. BUT tell me some. Just some! Not like fifty. Haha
LikeLike
Bahaha you just searched all your posts to see if I liked or commented didn’t you? lol!
I love tattoo’s, I just don’t know if I want tattoo’s or not! I think working in a nursing home and seeing old peoples tat’s had an effect on me!
Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments Series is really good and the final book comes out in a week or so! No waiting to find out what happens for you sir!
LikeLike
Nooooo. I post everyday. So I know who frequents my blog, crazy!
Hmm. Old people with tattoos are awesome! 🙂 But I know they’re not for everyone. Eh. You’re lame. 😉
Isn’t that series more akin to Twilight rather than THG? Don’t get me started on Twilight.

EW! NO! I wouldn’t suggest that if that was the case! See I only get on here like a few times a week! I promise to try to read more of your awesome posts!

Are you like a professional beta reader or something? Are you sure you’ll want to beta read mine? Cause it’s detective fiction. Not exactly what you’re describing. You don’t have to.
There is one celebrity I’d read. Alex Morgan. Oh my goodness. She writes a soccer series for kids/teens. And she’s perfect. 😉
LikeLike
No I’ve been doing it for about a year though. I am by no means professional! I definitely want to read it! It sounds really interesting! I love reading… PERIOD!
So Alex Morgan and Jennifer Lawrence? lol
I just found my niche with YA and really enjoy the books.
OH! Another great series, its actually a kids series but its so good, is the Rangers Apprentice series by John Flanagan.
LikeLike
That’s great. I wish I could. It’d be so fun to actually help authors with their books. But no. I’m just stuck trying to get you to write SOMETHING. Haha 😉
Alex Morgan. Jennifer Lawrence. Emma Watson. Taylor Swift. Carrie Underwood. Any girl who wears boots. Hahaha
Hmm. Maybe to that one.

Haha! It was just kinda fate that had me get set up with my main author! I love it so much! And you can beta read mine when it’s done!!! 🙂
If I could be anyone I would be Emma Watson…I adore her!
There’s quite a few books in the series but I really loved the story. It’s kinda a nice change of pace from adult books.

You’re lucky! You haven’t told me anything about your book! But I definitely would love to! 🙂 And I already told you if you put me in the Acknowledgements I’ll cry. Haha
No. If you were her then I’d be in love with you. Haha and then you wouldn’t be nice to me anymore. Haha
Okay. I already said maybe. Lol

My book is based on a dream I had. I think it’s because I was watching Jericho on netflix and my mind decided to distort it into something crazy! Basically there is this device that is very similar in the way it works to an EMP but instead of killing technology it erases everyone’s memories. They know basic skills but any memory of how they learned those skills are completely gone. The device and the name of the book is called the Galaxy Key… Also came from my dream. 🙂

Hahaha No you don’t! They’re insane!!! However I do realize I need to write down my dreams for future book ideas!
I may pick your brain for writing help if that’s alright. Seeing as you have at least one book under your belt.
Did you go through a publisher or did you self publish on amazon?
LikeLike
Yes I do. I dreamed today about a character from a TV show I watch. It was a guy. Hahaha
I self published. Honestly, because it was my first book and I didn’t want to tackle getting an agent and finding a publisher and all that. I will this time around.
LikeLike
Yeah, I’m unsure of what I’ll do. I have time to figure it out though! I have to finish the book first haha!
