Defending Young Adult Literature (A response to Meghan Cox Groudon's recent essays)

Young Adult literature has recently found itself under scrutiny. This week, instead of reviewing another book, I'd like to take some time to give my two cents about the whole debate.

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

Howl's Moving Castle is both a book, and a well known Miyazaki film. I'm honestly not sure which one is more popular. I've absolutely loved this movie since the first time I saw it, and finally I got to read the book, when a friend gave it to me for my birthday this past year.

My Boyfriend Wrote a Book About Me by: Hilary Winston

I was literally walking through Barnes and Noble one day when the title of this book caught my eye. I picked it up, started reading, and a few hours later, I was done.

The Heroes of Olympus Book 1: The Lost Hero

Well, Rick Riordan's beloved universe of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is back, and things are a lot more intense this time around.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

So my first review is going to be of a series in general. There are most unfortunately spoilers as to plot, but they're clearly noted, and you can skip right over them if you want to.

Starting out

Hey, so, I just created this blog. Reviews will shortly follow as I get the hang of the settings of this.
