Young Adult Appreciation Month: Join the Party!
Since July 19th, we have been celebrating all things Young Adult with guest posts, authors interviews, reviews and giveaways.
Now it is time to open the floor to you, dear reader so that you can be part of the party as well!
Throughout the day today, this post will be open to anyone with a blog to join in the fun. All you have to do is add your blog name (and the title of your post between brackets or at least an indication of what it is about!) and the url of your post in the form below and voila, all the posts will be listed here for everybody to read. Your post can be a review of a favorite oldie, a review of a new (or new to you) YA novel, a post reflecting on the genre, or even a piece on why you DON’T read YA. Anything at all, as long as it is about YA.
Let’s get this party started!

About Us
We are two completely obsessed, sad, sick addicts when it comes to books. Faced with threats and cynicisms from our significant others and because of the massive amounts of time and money we spend at Amazon.com, we resorted to getting books delivered to our offices and then smuggling them into our homes (in huge handbags) to avoid detection. Here we found a perfect outlet for our obsession! Reviews, recommendations, and other ponderings are our specialty.Sponsors

Sorry for double posting my link. WordPress managed to create the url with the date I first drafted the post rather than today, I’ve corrected it, but the first link goes to 404 error page. So if you could please remove it from the MrLinky. Sorry for the hassle.
Bart – no problem. we just have to wait for Thea to come over and do it, cause I have no clue how to!
Oh no! I forgot that this was today and didn’t get around to writing the post on why I read YA I had planned – would it be okay to participate with an YA review from a couple of days ago?
Nymeth – yes, of course, no problem at all!
I’ll be out all day, but I’ll post tonight when I get home. I hope I can get it done before midnight.
Ana, thanks so much for the reminder of today’s event! Good thing I wrote my review a couple of weeks ago lol. I entered my link for a review of The Demon’s Lexicon! Hopefully I can get around to check out all the other reviews soon.
Oops, I totally forgot to add in the title of my post with Mister Linky! Sorry. I so didn’t follow directions. Back to Kindergarten I go!
Just added to Mr Linky. WOO HOO PARTY!
Got mine in. What fun!

This is a great idea…I love writing and reading Young Adult books!!!
Thank you BOTH for letting me participate! I would’ve written up an ariticle just for you (here with Book Smugglers) in the post, but I just found out about it. I’ll link this page back though in a separte post!
Thanks again and stop by anytime!

And of course…I did it wrong…Mr. Linkie HATES me! I’m sorry…now, I don’t know how to fix it!!
Amy
I’ve linked to my most recent review (at Teenage Fiction for All Ages). Many thanks for the inclusion.
I linked our YA review. Thanks for letting us join in
Darn. I forgot. Hope you don’t mind if I add a review from a couple of months ago. I mean really hope you don’t mind since I’ve done it already. LOL.

Thanks for letting me share my thoughts on what ya list is.
Apologies for being so late with my post! Have thoroughly enjoyed the YA Appreciation Month – thank you SO much Ana & Thea
Awesome party all month long. I love YA novels and did a review of Wicked Lovely and Marked a while back. Sorry I forgot to put title of blog in my linky.
Thanks Book Smugglers for having an awesome YA month! I linked two reviews, Betrayed – House of Night Series by P.C. Cast + Kristin Cast and Legacy by Cayla Kluver. Cayla’s a great young author. Everyone should give her book a try.
