Reading YA, Writing YA, and Being Totally Awesome discussion

Is it bad to say Vampire Academy?; although widely recognized, they still deserve more hype in my opinion.

Immense hype--like Hunger Games/Harry Potter/Twilight hype. It deserves more than 200,000 ratings. LIKE 1 MILLION RATINGS. They're just so good.

I hate The Hunger Games lol.

I've never read hunger games, are they worth reading ?

I mean it's definitely worth a go because most people love it--for me, the concept is really great and intriguing but the portrayal isn't too great, moreso for the last book.

I love the movies too!

Yes! Have you saw Catching Fire? Ah, I love Johanna Mason! :D

I believe Sylvia Louise Engdahl's Children of the Star trilogy should be much more recognized for the groundbreaking achievement they were (and continue to be) in the field of YA science fiction. The trilogy is comprised of This Star Shall Abide, Beyond the Tomorrow Mountains and The Doors of the Universe.

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

The shiver trilogy, well any book by Maggie Stiefvater, her books are just brilliant, they deserve more hype, in my opinion :)

Dark Inside

Daughter of Smoke & Bone...the synopsis does not do it justice at all, I ignored it for awhile because it didn't interest me, but I just gave the audiobook a chance and was completely enthralled
