Thanks to everyone who's been supporting me in my obsessive reading, here's to 100 more :)
I read YA because they are more real. Even the romance stories aren't cheesy. They make me understand my problems and help me escape more than adult or children's books.

Hi! nice contest by the way. I read YA because I get to be another person for a day and deal with their problems rather then mine. Also I like YA fiction better then anyother fiction because I can relate to the characters more. my e - mail is jamief94@yahoo.com and my name's J.J.
ReplyDeleteI loved this book and would love to have a copy in my classroom! I am a follower and I have posted this on my sidebar.

Oops! Forgot the most important part, I read YA books because I am going to be a high school English teacher and I am hoping to offer and extensive in-classroom library to my students...and I love YAL!!

Congrats on the 100th! Even though I am no longer a teen, I have never been able to stop reading YA. Maybe because in my mind I still am 16 or that some issues you deal with as a teen, never really go away.

I read YA books because I am a high schooler and they focus on a lot of high school issues. It's fun to be able to read about things that you have to deal with and realize that maybe your life isn't so bad or maybe you wish your life was like the main character's. I am a follower and I would love to win 13 Reasons Why. I have read it but I borrowed it from a friend and I would love to have my own copy. Thanks for the contest!

Congrats on your one hundredth post!
ReplyDeleteI loved this book so much! Unfortunately I borrowed it from the library so don't have my own copy but of course would love to enter to try and get it. :D
I read YA because it's so great! Also because I am a young adult so I can relate to a lot of it. I'm pretty sure that when I'm not a young adult I'll still enjoy it as much though hehehe
Thanks for the contest!

I would love to enter and I already follow! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I read YA because all of the amazing authors out there ( Meg Cabot, Sarah Dessen, Julia Hoban, Gayle Forman) create such great stories and characters, that I can defiantly relate to! Plus, YA books are extremely fast reads.
YA authors are producing some of the most exciting, innovative books around - that's why I read YA.
ReplyDeleteStill haven't read this book and I don't have a copy so I would love to win!
I'm a follower already.
I read YA because it is awesome! It's one of the most creative areas in the entirety of literature right now, and there is always something new!
ReplyDeleteI followed your blog.

I read YA books because I find them the most interesting. They're much more exciting to me because I can relate to them, and there's always something fun and new coming out!

I read YA books because it's more interesting to read books where the characters are your age (I'm sixteen). They're exciting and they have a whole blogging community dedicated to them!
