I bit off way more than I could chew. Then I found that I resented having so much of my reading planned out.

I’ve been really impressed by the quality of the writing and the tough subjects the more serious works have tackled. It’s also usually a quick and easy read compared to adult literary fiction. My teenaged kids introduced me to it and now I’m hooked and read more YA than they do! <br /><br />Of the YA’s I reviewed last year the ones that would appeal the to adults would be: The Hunger Games trilogy, The Indigo Notebook and The Ruby Notebook, Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, Speak and The Mockingbirds.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-40655823642774873182011-01-26T09:03:26.500-08:002011-01-26T09:03:26.500-08:00As far as challenges go, you did worlds better tha...As far as challenges go, you did worlds better than me!
