Although I talk mostly children's books on our blog, I wanted to let you in on a little secret. You deserve to enjoy a good book of your own! I applaud all parents out there who are reading to their little ones, but sometimes we forget to tend to our own literary needs. I often have people ask me about what books I've read lately, and often times they are surprised at my answer. I love YA. Young Adult. Seriously! You have to give this genre a try. Some of the best books that I've read are written for a teen audience. You can find anything from romance to coming-of-age, mystery to dystopian worlds, fantasy to humor. I don't tend to read the "teeny-bop" stuff, but if you haven't checked out these books, you really should.
I have to cut this list short, as I'll go on for pages and pages, but here are a few of my favorites:
The book thief / by Markus Zusak.
Shiver / Maggie Stiefvater.
An abundance of Katherines / John Green.
Between shades of gray / Ruta Sepetys.
The rock and the river / Kekla Magoon.
Revolution / Jennifer Donnelly.
Wintergirls / Laurie Halse Anderson.
