Blogs
This
seems like a very fun, geared towards women-who-love-YA, blog. They
self-describe as “A site for YA readers who are a little less Y and a bit
more A.”
They blog
about everything from books to movies to crafts. They hold Forever Young Adult
book clubs throughout the country (there is one in Baltimore). They talk about
drinking games for books and movies (ex. Paper Towns movie drinking game). The
site is a little busy. There are stuff everywhere. I like the Best books lists
since they seem to be experts in the genre. It’s not just what is popular, they
list the books they really love. I especially love the YA Summer Showdown 2015
contest the site had this summer. Teams competed in all kinds of YA inspired
challenges. The creativity level is pretty high (ex. Create a 24-hour adventure
in your hometown, inspired by a movie or book or actor connected to the area if
possible. This site is certainly a good one for the YA super fan.
I
really enjoyed looking through their “Utimate Reading List” because while it
contains many books catalogued in the Teen area, it also has a great number in
regular fiction suited for the teen reader. This is pretty nice, because we don’t
always know if an adult book is going to be appropriate for a teen. The website
is pretty comprehensive in terms of teen book content. It has reviews, blogs,
author interviews. I will add this site to my resource list!
