I'm 16 years old so YA books are meant for my age group, I love all of the awesome books that are YA and I find it more relatable to read books being told from the point of view of someone who is my age. Oh, and there are a <i>ton</i> of hot guys in YA fiction (though I know there are in adult lit. but I prefer the the teenaged boys in YA lit at the moment)! <br /><br />Total: 6<br /><br />Thanks for this awesome contest!<br /><br />Claire :)<br />yabookiemonster{at}gmail{dot}comClaire @ YA Bookie Monsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09589684904226085061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-9536752426521952352010-11-03T01:56:14.650-05:002010-11-03T01:56:14.650-05:00+4 Follower (Kayla + Cyna)

Secondly, it's one of the only genres I can read that can have fun supernatural elements without graphic sex scenes. Also, teens deal with a lot of issues and that allows the author the be more creative. There are romantic issues, family issues, friend issues, self-esteem issues, academic issues, etc. <br />Thanks for the chance to win!<br />melodiousrevelry (at) gmail (dot) comTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345504075109798443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-23534129375013886452010-10-30T00:06:35.441-05:002010-10-30T00:06:35.441-05:00+4 I follow

Well I love the characters, since I'm still in that age group myself I can easily relate to them. But, even when I'm not I think I'll still love them. The stories just seem to hold so many relateable elements, things that don't always seem relateable at a first glance, but when you look closer they are. Like how, in The Mortal Instruments, Clary feels like she doesn't belong, well don't we all feel that at one time or another? That's why I love it, it's easy to get caught up in a story when you can relate. :)<br />+1 - I Tweeted :) <br />http://twitter.com/#!/AmburHostyn/status/27447501881<br /><br />Thanks for the chance to win, this is an amazing giveaway! :D<br />Ambur<br />ambiepie_6(at)hotmail(dot)com<br />http://burningximpossiblyxbright.blogspot.com/AmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-12477805695994468632010-10-15T09:35:44.808-05:002010-10-15T09:35:44.808-05:00wow!
