Read YA books with me

So I love Young Adult literature...if you know me,  you know this! I used to be almost ashamed to admit this to my more intelligent friends. I felt like reading it was somehow less than reading adult literature. I  have since decided that is ridiculous! YA literature offers the world SO much! I am not even going to go into my whole rant on how important it is BUT I am going to say that I LOVE having friends who understand and agree with me!

My amazing friend Karissa Knox is also an amazing writer, like an actual writer who has a Poetry Chapbook published and has had numerous poems in numerous publications. She also has a blog that has tons of followers (yes to my faithful 5 I do love you just as much). She has been doing a series of blogs on YA literature and how it reaches into so many different genres and offers things to everyone.

Here is her ORIGINAL blog post!

I was VERY honored when she asked to join her for the 2nd part on Spiritual/Religious Books which you can find HERE

And then today we published the third part - Which is HERE

If we do any more I will copy them into my blog rather than have links but I wanted to share all three tonight. I have had SO much fun helping her with this. I do believe that YA lit has much to say to the world. It is a place to say things that can often be hard to say or hear in the "real world" sometimes. Take a look at our lists. Maybe  you will find something new to read!
