Hey, everyone. I need some help from AW's trusty YA brains-trust.
I'm going on holidays in about a month with nothing planned but to sit by the pool for eleven days and read. (Yes, I hate me, too. ) For Mr. BF, this mean he might read a book, maybe two. For me, it means getting through 30+ books.
Anyway, I want to use the opportunity to fill the gaps in my YA reading. I'm looking to populate a new folder on my Kindle with the YA books any self-respecting YA writer/reader/enthusiast should really have read by now.
For example, I only just got around to reading WE WERE LIARS a couple of weeks ago, which is a book that gets bandied around a lot in YA conversations. I have a few Maggie Stiefvater books on my Kindle already, but haven't read any of them, and don't know where to start.
Some books I might already own, some I might need to buy, and some I might have already read ... but please give me your best YA touchstone recs!
