Virtual YA Book Club

I love reading YA novels. I might be 33, but I find them so refreshing, bold, inventive, and exciting (and there’s more to the genre than vampire novels). After a brief email exchange with fellow YA aficionado Corinne Bowen,  I realized that we were gushing about books that we were reading. And so often after I finish a YA book, I have no one to talk to about how amazing it is or how I felt. (You know that feeling when you think,”Everyone must read this!”) Many of my friends are in book clubs, but I wanted to start a virtual YA book club to connect with the huge community of readers who love this genre as much as I do.

HOW WILL THIS WORK?

Step #1: We choose the books we want to read.

Step #2: I’ll write a post with a due date, a general premise of the book, and a little bit about the author.

Step #3: On the due date, I’ll post up some discussion questions and my general thoughts on the book. In the comments section, chime in with your thoughts, questions, raves, and rants. As things progress, we can even host Twitter chats (possibly with the author) or even start a Facebook group to discuss it even more. We’ll see how things go.

THE SCHEDULE

The schedule for 2012 is right here. Vote here/add suggestions for books you want to read.

Stay tuned!

These are just some of my favorite YA books.
