I've been studiously posting book reviews here for
every book I read. But I've also been holding back. In a review, I don't always go into detail about what I liked or didn't like because I know people like Anne-Marie and Yvette and even
Lacy probably just read the rating, if that, and get on with their lives.
There are other things I'm holding back. Like cool writing exercises I come across. And why I started but didn't finish a certain book. And how do you possibly decide what to read next when your to-read list is almost a thousand books long?
Adding to that, I know there must be other people out there like me—wannabe young adult writers who devour the latest, hottest YA creation hoping to learn from it, or just to be close to what we so desperately want.
So for the other YA wannabes, but also as an outlet for myself, I've created...
YAnnabeI can geek out to my heart's content on reading and writing for YA, and
you don't have to wade through book review after book review when all you really want is just a cute picture of Abby every now and then.
Still, I will probably post a monthly roundup of book ratings here because I will always want to spread the word about good books. And you won't be free from my non-YA book reviews.
But if you like all those YA book reviews, or if you just can't get enough of me and my opinions, I'll
totally understand if you want to sneak over to
YAnnabe and subscribe by
