I love YA literature. I mean, obviously, the name of my blog is YA Literature Lover, but I really do mean it. Young Adult literature really moves me. I think it's because I remember struggling to figure out who I was back then, to really be me, and trying hard to be the best version of myself that I could be. Don't go thinking I actually got it right all the time either. Not by a long shot! But it's those failed attempts that teach us a lot about ourselves as well.
Needless to say, I love young adult books. I'm sure you do too or you wouldn't be trolling my blog. :o) For which I truly thank you too. Go have a look at this website: The Contemps They're a group of YA authors who are keeping it real. They write contemporary YA literature. Everyone likes a little fantasy now and then, but I find I'm drawn to contemporary literature too (and no, it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm writing a YA contemporary novel). There is something about sitting down and reading a book about a character going through something you've been through, or maybe it's something similar. At any rate, they are all something relatable. I love that. Through these books, we come together.
So cruise on over there and become a part of this challenge. It will be fun and you'll get a chance to read some great books. Heck, you might even win something.
Sounds like fun - thanks for the link :)
