Pictorial Representation of my time at BEA!
Here's me with the adorable Joanne S. Volpe,
literary agent and genius at Nancy Coffey. She's just as nice and cute in person as online. Query her! She rocks! You can follow her on Twitter for scoop!
Here is my and Kody Keplinger (author of The Duff - surely you've heard about it! ) meeting in person for the first time. Though we've been blogger buddies for a while. I'm so happy for her! Go follow her blog!
Here is my Hilary Wagner's wonderful book Nightshade City at the Holiday House booth. Put this one on your reading list people because Rick Riordan just blurbed it!
Oh and here are my BEA Partners in Crime,
Shana Silver and Jen Hayley (part of YA Rebels). I love these girls...
I know, they look all sweet and innocent, but don't let that fool you. They were serious BEAers. They did not p
This was a refreshing point of view! I've only seen reviews where this book got high ratings before. Sounds like the main character does some stupid and immature decisions!
Huh. I have heard from friends that they just couldn't put it down and loved this book, so i'm glad to hear about it in another way!
I LOVED this book. I read it in one sitting. I thought it was very true to high school. Like every teenager, she makes stupid decisions, who doesn't as a teenager? If you don't like books about sex, it definitly is not for you, but if you want raw emotion, Kody does an awesome job with it. It reminds me of me in high school.
Angela, I do not have problems with sex in YA books. I only have a problem when it is as gratuitous as it was in The Duff. I don't think the sex moved the plot or was necessary to the plot.
Bianca has sex with Wesley for all the wrong reasons, and he uses her as well. That is not healthy, nor is it normal teen attitude.
