Young people deserve & need rich, thought provoking, inspiring, entertaining lit that allows them to look beyond their walls & think about new possibilities & even escape from what some may feel is an overwhelming life. Keep the passion alive! It's got to keep being about the stories, about the beauty of a book; not about where to get a latte & a scone.

I find it difficult to believe someone would say "you should be embarrassed" to read anything with a straight face -- what a misguided way to approach the world. I wonder if this bias for that critic interfered with her ability to just enjoy what she was reading? The things that makes any novel great to read: interesting characters, interesting situations, conflicts, and dilemmas, and an author's interesting voice... these are just as present in YA.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271779292094199342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303232661644308222.post-35332014681331664032014-06-10T14:09:13.128-04:002014-06-10T14:09:13.128-04:00Well said my dear.

There are so many amazing YA books I've read that have made me laugh and cry and grow angry over injustices- and there's no way I'll ever be ashamed of that. B/c if that's true, then I should basically be ashamed of allowing myself to feel, and if that happens, then you're in a pretty sad place in life. So keep writing great YA, Carrie! =) Leandra Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00381034024025750992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303232661644308222.post-91388902979337982962014-06-06T13:05:40.267-04:002014-06-06T13:05:40.267-04:00Amen.
