Thanks for stopping by.
I would love to ...Hi Kim! Thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />I would love to make it a new regular feature but not at the moment. Too much going on in my life right now.<br /><br />There is an awful lot of dark YA out there, it's true. Want upbeat or light and funny? Have you read GIMME A CALL by Sarah Mlynowski? It's hilarious. THE YEAR OF SECRET ASSIGNMENTS by Jaclyn Moriarty? DAIRY QUEEN by Catherine Gilbert Murdock?<br /><br />Yes, I remember you like quiet books. You were the one who suggested THAT GIRL, LUCY MOON to me and I loved it! Thanks.Joanne R.

It highlights a 1929 small town July 4th celebration and then travels on a few more weeks. I would classify it as a 'quiet book' also.Barbara Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547166495514562286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124298039392938540.post-4866571598691355222011-07-02T16:24:30.552-04:002011-07-02T16:24:30.552-04:00You continue to increase the height of my To Be Re...You continue to increase the height of my To Be Read pile, Joanne! We share that affinity for the quiet books, I think. Thanks for adding to my list. <br /><br />So, is this a new regular feature for you? YA Fridays? Because if it is, I would love it if you could highlight some other quiet, or fun/light, YA titles. So many of the ones I know of deal with very dark or very serious topics, and while I learned much from them, I would love to read some more upbeat YA fare.
