YA BOOKS

Last summer I read tons of YA books and had some great conversations with others who love young adult books. However, since I retired I wanted to read a adult books and then again, I have been very busy reading books for my primary book group ( our next meeting is this Saturday in C-ville). Consequently, the YA books were left behind for awhile. Now the book in my bookbag right now is Frozen Fire. Has anyone read it? This book was listed in "Booklist" magazine as a book for 9-12th graders. What an intriguing first chapter! Actually, the first line will grab those young adult readers right away with "I'm dying". I will let you know how it goes! I finished Marley last week. You are probably thinking, " Why is she just reading that now?" Just a bit slow on this particular bandwagon. Another quick read is a YA book about women in the Civil War. Talk about interesting! Lots of first person information, pictures, and great research. It was written by Anita Silvey, an author known for her reference books not for YA. Here is the website for ALA Best YA Books. http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/yalsa/booklistsawards/bestbooksya/09bbya.cfm
Take time to read every day!!
