Book Blogging from the USA
Best thing about being from The United States:
Access to a great number of books and for a cheap price. Talking to people from other countries about the book situation shows me just how lucky we are here!
What is the state of YA literature in the USA?
There is a whole lot of it, which I can't say the same for when I was a teen. That's probably why I'm reading it now because the selection is so wide, something for everyone. Sadly some books get the spotlight and others are hidden on the shelves or not even on the shelves at all. That's what I like about the blogosphere, I find out about a lot of books I may have not know about otherwise.
How accessible are international YA titles in the USA:
That I'm not sure of. I've been pointed to a few websites to use if trying to get an International YA title but for the most part I haven't tried because I am lazy.
Authors that you would recommend:
Julia Hoban (Willow), Sarah MacLean (The Season), Jennifer Echols (Going Too Far), Melissa Walker (Lovestruck Summer) because they wrote my favorite books of 2009!
Most popular YA author in the USA:
Right now I would have to say Suzanne Collins.
Best thing about YA blogging:
Making a connection with others about books, it's so important to be able to share the things you love with other people!
YA blogs that you would recommend from the USA:
Not so fast, I cannot pick!
