Hi readers! This is my first Sunday Salon post! I’ve been on a bit of a Young Adult reading kick lately. This past week I read (and loved!) Lessons From a Deaad Girl by Jo Knowles and If I Stay by Gayle Forman. They were both amazing books and I will definitely be looking for more by these authors. Lessons From a Dead Girl deals with the issue of friendship abuse between peers – a very tough subject that the author dealt with masterfully. If I Stay deals with the issue of life or death. Both books will elicit a flood of emotions, but I would recommend them to anyone. These are not your light and fluffy, feel-good reads. They deal with some major life issues.
If you have any YA suggestions, I would love to hear about them! I recently added Wintergirls to my wish list, but I do not know of other YA books that deal with these deeper issues. I’d love some recommendations – leave me a comment! Thanks!
Until next time…..
Jennifer




I wish they had this selection of young adult books when I was actually a young adult! There are so many to read you could literally read only young adult books and still not run out of books to read!
Jenny – I know! I think I'm reading more YA books now than I did when I was a young adult! LOL Such a great selection!
