reviews and other babble about teen literature.
About This Blog
Welcome to my thoughts on teen literature. I care about good writing, interesting characters, and intriguing plots.
I strive to review positively--I wouldn't review a book I didn't like--but I will also point out what I view as minor flaws.
Occasionally, I will post about a book I didn't like, but typically that only happens when I'm writing a series of reviews, like reviewing all the Morris Award shortlist.
I do not indicate spoilers; if you haven't read the book and don't want to be spoiled, you'd be best-served by not reading my review.
Comments are welcomed and appreciated, although they are moderated. I reserve the right not to publish your comment. (But really, unless it's a spam comment, it's likely I'll publish your comment.)
