I'm looking forward to future reviews, I've been in a slump lately as far as authors go so I'll take all the sugggestions I can get!CMCarverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220522330752929613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8335676239627237170.post-53424256672655576152012-04-28T20:50:00.196-04:002012-04-28T20:50:00.196-04:00Thanks for stopping by Kevin!

I was pleased to find I'd read a few, several I want to read and a few new ones to me.

I hope you can find some time to read, I know I always feel better (mentally) when I can take a few moments for myself to read.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020068734951560115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8335676239627237170.post-6053283779091979192012-04-28T01:11:49.978-04:002012-04-28T01:11:49.978-04:00Hey Alli,

While the characterization can be weak or one-dimensional ('can be' doesn't mean 'always is'), YA novels tend to be plot or story driven - and that's not a bad thing. It's just one of the many ways of telling a story. 'Serious novels' that dwell on mood, setting, and the internal life of characters sometimes lack anything resembling a plot. <br /><br />In the past year I've enjoyed reading the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer (the last book in the series comes out in July) and the Enola Holmes and Rowan Hood series which are both by Nancy Springer (anything by Springer is worth reading).<br /><br />I think this is a list that would interest you: http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/5764.Best_YA_Series<br /><br />And I think you'd really like the Women of Genesis series by Orson Scott Card. I read them because I love Card's sci-fi novels, but the Women of Genesis novels brought to life Sarah, Rebekah, and Rachel and Leah. Great story-telling and compelling. Great stuff.<br /><br />I look forward to reading more of your blog. <br /><br />Kevin McGUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00815681870042474946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8335676239627237170.post-59075562863942366982012-04-27T14:28:39.552-04:002012-04-27T14:28:39.552-04:00Thanks for sharing.
